Molecular Bond science fair project

Materials Required

• Styrofoam balls
  (Rub 2 pieces of Styrofoam against each other on the rough edges to get Styrofoam balls)
• A plastic container.
• Nail polish remover

Procedure
Fill half the plastic container with nail polish remover. Put the Styrofoam balls into the container with nail polish remover. Be amazed to see that the nail polish remover in the plastic container can eat any amount of Styrofoam balls.

Inference
The Styrofoam balls are made of zillions and zillions of gaseous atoms bonded together form molecules, which are bound together to form a Styrofoam ball that we see ( Just like the millions of Styrofoam balls bound together to form a Styrofoam sheet). Nail polish remover can break this bond between the gas atoms and molecules that form the Styrofoam ball. When this bond is broken, the atoms are separated and released as gas into the atmosphere. The Styrofoam ball vanishes. Actually, magicians perform this as trick on stage. However, this experiment can show how the objects that we see are made up of atoms and molecules that we cannot see.
