At the Party with the Chemists

One day, all of the world's famous chemists decided to get together for a tea party. Fortunately, the doorman was a student, able to observe some of the guests......

• Mendeleev arranged the table.
• Democritus considered it unthinkable that he should not cut the cake.
• Berzelius thought it was a symbolic occasion.
• Kekule couldn't stop dancing around in circles.
• All the females ended up knowing where to ring for Amadeo Avogadro (you work this out!)
• Becquerel simply glowed.
• Kelvin was a cold fish at the party.
• Priestly was dephlogisticated.
• The more Lavoisier ate, the heavier he became.
• The more cakes Le Chatelier ate, the more appeared on the table.
• Gay-Lussac was ejected from the party as he had a problem with gases.
• Arrhenius dissociated himself from the whole affair.
