Description: An enriching Lawrencium design. Lawrencium is a synthetic chemical element with chemical symbol Lr (formerly Lw) and atomic number 103. It is named in honor of Ernest Lawrence, inventor of the cyclotron, a device that was used to discover many artificial radioactive elements. A radioactive metal, lawrencium is the eleventh transuranic element and is also the final member of the actinide series. Brought to you by Periodic-Tees.com

This vibrant masterpiece combines artistry and scientific reverence, making it the perfect choice for chemistry teachers, students, scientists, and STEM enthusiasts. Featuring a vividly colored watercolor portrait of Marie Curie and the inspiring message "Radiate Good Vibes" in a retro font, this shirt embodies the spirit of scientific exploration and positivity.
Description: A bedazzling Lithium design. Lithium (from Greek: lithos, 'stone') is a chemical element with the symbol Li and atomic number 3. It is a soft, silver-white metal belonging to the alkali metal group of chemical elements. Under standard conditions, it is the lightest metal and the least dense solid element. Totally not dense at all. Brought to you by Periodic-Tees.com
Description: The famously dramatic elephant toothpaste chemistry experiment! A conical flask containing a cute purple elephant, and overflowing with foam which has a toothpaste style stripe. The experiment demonstrates a chemical reaction involving hydrogen peroxide, washing up liquid and a catalyst e.g. potassium iodide solution or yeast, which produces a sudden expanding foam full of bubbles of gas. The molecule 2H202 and the resulting 2H20 and 02 molecules are represented in the image.
Description: First synthesized in 1874 by the Austrian chemist Othmar Zeidler, DDT was developed as an insecticide. In 1945, DDT was made available for sale in the United States, and although it was promoted for use as an agricultural and household pesticide, there were also concerns about its use from the beginning. As a result, marketing campaigns to counter the concerns were launched, including "DDT Is Good For Me-e-e!" from Pennsalt Chemicals, which included print ads and radio spots with a cast of characters singing about how wonderful DDT was. The EPA began regulatory actions in the late '50s and '60s to prohibit many of DDT's uses because of mounting evidence of environmental and toxicological effects, leading to a ban in 1972.
