My inclination for science increased during high - school, thanks to spectacular experiments in the chemistry laboratory — so many different thoughts on nature and behaviour of matter: the replacement of a metal by another in the reaction of iron and copper sulfate, the formation of a visible solid by the combination of two liquid solutions with the formation of a precipitate and the violent reaction
of alkali metals with water were some of the things that impressed me in those days.
