WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 2024 — Videos about the chemistry of color typically only scratch the surface of how electromagnetic radiation creates the beautiful rainbows of the world around us. But this Reactions video by the American Chemical Society dives deep to the science underneath, exploring the relationship between energy, electrons and color. Because color is chemistry, and chemistry is color.

The American Chemical Society (ACS) is a nonprofit organization chartered by the U.S. Congress. ACS’ mission is to advance the broader chemistry enterprise and its practitioners for the benefit of Earth and all its people. The Society is a global leader in promoting excellence in science education and providing access to chemistry-related information and research through its multiple research solutions, peer-reviewed journals, scientific conferences, eBooks and weekly news periodical Chemical & Engineering News. ACS journals are among the most cited, most trusted and most read within the scientific literature; however, ACS itself does not conduct chemical research. As a leader in scientific information solutions, its CAS division partners with global innovators to accelerate breakthroughs by curating, connecting and analyzing the world’s scientific knowledge. ACS’ main offices are in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.
