Many scientists have criticized the plausibility of cryptids due to lack of physical evidence, [7] likely misidentifications [8] and misinterpretation of stories from folklore. [9] While biologists regularly identify new species following established scientific methodology, cryptozoologists focus on entities mentioned in the folklore record and ...
Pope Lick Monster (American Folklore) Kentucky Urban Legend – Cryptid, a murderous creature that is part man, sheep, and goat; Popobawa – One-eyed creatures bat-like; Poubi Lai (Meitei mythology) – Evil dragon python from the Loktak lake; Pouākai – Giant bird; Preta (Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain) – Ghosts of especially greedy people
A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z). [ 1 ] The definitive visualisation of all 118 elements is the periodic table of the elements , whose history along the principles of the periodic law was one of the founding ...
A large Mothman sculpture stands along Main Street Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007 in Point Pleasant, W.Va. More than 40 years after the first reported sighting of the mysterious creature later dubbed ...
Chemical nomenclature, replete as it is with compounds with very complex names, is a repository for some names that may be considered unusual. A browse through the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (a fundamental resource) will reveal not just the whimsical work of chemists, but the sometimes peculiar compound names that occur as the ...
Oblivious to the traffic passing overhead, a large creature lurked under a bridge in Ecuador. The “cryptic”-looking creature hunted for food, sought out mates and generally went misidentified.

A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.
