Here are 5 fun facts that can develop your love to chemistry:

1. If you pour a handful of salt into a full glass of water, the water level will actually go down rather than overflowing the glass.
2. Similarly, if you mix half a liter of alcohol and half a liter of water, the total volume of the liquid will be less than one liter.
3. Lightning strikes produce O3, which is ozone, and strengthen the ozone layer of the atmosphere.
4. Bee stings are acidic, while wasp stings are alkaline.
5. Hot peppers get their heat from a molecule called capsaicin. While the molecule acts as an irritant to mammals, including humans, birds lack the receptor responsible for the effect and are immune to the burning sensation from exposure.
