Everything is made up of chemicals, from the food we eat to the medicines we take to the cleaning products we use to our own bodies![1]
Needless to say, the study of chemistry is critical to daily life and understanding our world.
Though the study of material properties like distillation and evaporation can be traced back to around 800 CE,[2][3] Antoine Lavoisier is often considered the “father of chemistry.” After all, he quite literally wrote the book on it — 1787’s “Elements of Chemistry.”[2]

How to Create a Great Chemistry Group Name
Creating a great chemistry group name may be as easy as looking over your work if your job or coursework is chemistry-related.
If the study of chemistry is a hobby for you, words or phrases may naturally come to mind for perfect names.
Here are some tips to get the ideas flowing:
- Decide what type of group name you want. When it comes to finding a great team name, it helps to keep in mind if you are going for humor or something more work-appropriate. A trivia group made of chemists will probably want to use something funny or punny, while a lab group conducting research will want to be sure to keep its name somewhat professional.
- Think about chemistry-related terms you use on a daily basis. You may find a unique way to use a more common chemistry term for your team name. Alternately, you may find really obscure and unknown words that work perfectly on their own and show off your expertise.
- Research chemistry terms and look up definitions. Sometimes the slight tweaking of a word or definition turns into a great chemistry-related team name.
- Investigate experts in the field. You may find inspiration in a famous chemist’s name or research.
- Check out the periodic table. One of the easiest ways to create a chemistry team name is to go back to the basics! Create fun words using the periodic table of elements — one of the first things you learn about as a budding scientist. (Some examples can be found in our list above).
