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.
