Green Chemistry

5. Principle emphasizing the use of materials that can be broken down to minimize environmental impact.
7. Type of resource that can be replenished naturally, like solar or wind energy.
9. Used to produce surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate, which are key ingredients in soaps, shampoos, and detergents.
10. A principle that focuses on preventing waste rather than treating it after it is produced.
11. This common liquid is often used in green chemistry as a safer alternative to organic solvents

1. Minimising emissions of these harmful chemicals, often found in paints and cleaners, through safer alternatives.
2. This process speeds up reactions and is favored in green chemistry for reducing waste and energy use.
3. Green chemistry encourages this type of synthesis that avoids the use of hazardous substances.
4. Utilized in the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and as a solvent in chemical reactions.
6. An organic acid often used as a non-toxic household cleaner
8. A naturally derived surfactant used in green cleaning products.
