The book "Chemical Riddles" by Dr. Zdzisław Głowacki is an innovative approach to studying chemistry. The sets of riddles are based on intelligence tests, which means that they require logical and precise thinking as well as basic chemical knowledge. Developed in a playful way, they offer answers that sometimes require a sense of humor. Solving riddles is a great way to exercise your mind and expand and consolidate chemical knowledge.

The basis of many riddles is the periodic table of elements. The names of the elements are passwords for many crossword puzzles, pantropes, continuities or word search games. The symbols of the elements are used to compose words that are the answers to the question asked. Hydrogen isotopes (H) - deuterium (D) and tritium (T) are treated in the same way as other elements. This means that D and T can be used in the same way as other symbols such as H, He, O, N, Na, P, etc.

In addition to typically logical tasks, there are those that use chemical knowledge, requiring knowledge of the stoichiometry of chemical reactions and knowledge of the properties of elements and basic chemical compounds. The tasks include numbers related to elements, including atomic numbers and molar masses. The molar masses used in the tasks are rounded to integers. The exception is chlorine, its molar mass is rounded to 35.5. The tasks may also include assigning numbers to letters of the alphabet - therefore, such a grid is included in the text. There may also be dependencies using sequences of prime numbers, squares or cubes of natural numbers.

Many riddles have unconventional, sometimes humorous solutions. Enter all the solutions that come to mind - even those that seem absurd to you. You can compare your own solutions with the author's answers. Remember that the author is not always right and your solution to the riddle may be better and more logical. Have fun!
