Technology on Instagram: "When luminol comes into contact with bleach, a chemical reaction begins instantly. Bleach, a strong oxidizer, pulls electrons from luminol, pushing them into a higher, “excited” energy state. As these electrons return to their normal state, they release energy as tiny flashes of blue light—photons. This is what causes the glowing blue effect. The glow fades as the electrons settle, leaving the solution dark once again. Via: @nd8.136a / Dr. Kendra Frederick #technology #
