And, after almost two hundred years after the birth of Dmitry Mendeleev, the author of the periodic law – future knights of the chemical discoveries consider it a privilege to prove at international tournaments named after this scientific genius, the depth of their knowledge and loyalty to the chosen life passion.
It was confirmed by Belarusian school students won five awards at the 54th international Mendeleev Olympiad in chemistry. Gold medalist Anastasiya Chaliapin, the silver medal was won by Igor Vasilevsky, and bronze – Matthew Kislyuk. All of them, said to BelTA, the graduates of the national University. Silver medals were also graduates of the gymnasium №10, Molodechno – Matthew Novoselov and gymnasium №1 of Vitebsk – Andrey Krisanov.

However, this year the pandemic coronavirus introduced into scientific competition to certain adjustments. First, it was conducted in a distance format, and the youngest fans of the great Russian scientist asked to be only two theoretical round that included tasks from the field of inorganic, organic, analytical and physical chemistry, as well as the Sciences. As in past years, said the Agency, all participants were offered the implementation and practical assignments.
international Mendeleev Olympiad in chemistry, said the Agency conducted more than half a century and is the successor of all-Union chemical Olympiad, continuing its numbering. By the way, for more than fifteen years in addition to the schoolchildren of CIS and Baltic countries, involved teams from Bulgaria, Macedonia and Romania, and 2012, the application serves students from Hungary, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
for four years in the competition involved teams of Israel, Mongolia and Nigeria.
