chemistry experiments

Mixing substances scientifically

Chemistry experiments are procedures designed to test hypotheses, demonstrate principles, or explore reactions through controlled manipulation of substances.

The term spans rigorous laboratory research and classroom demonstrations where students mix chemicals to observe results: We did chemistry experiments with baking soda and vinegar.

The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for any volatile combination of elements: Their relationship was a chemistry experiment waiting to explode.
