Chemistry has a typically cool scientific approach when it comes to showing some Christmas spirit.
They have fashioned a Christmas Tree (we call it a Chemistree) using retort stands and clamps and then decorated it with round bottomed flasks filled with coloured chemical solutions, and home-grown crystal ornaments. And why the mole instead of the traditional star or fairy on top of the tree? It's based on an amount – a mole is the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon. Ahh bless!
