Valentine's Day Google Doodle: On the occasion of Valentine's Day, Google shared an interactive doodle with a "scientific twist" to explain the chemistry of love.

Valentine's Day - the day of love is here. Every year, this day is celebrated on February 14. Valentine's Day has grown in importance as a cultural and economic event, yet there are no set regulations for how to celebrate it. People from diverse cultures and places of the world have created their own traditions to commemorate Valentine's Day. For many, it is a day when they profess their love for someone and express their affection by sending flowers, cards or chocolates with messages of love. 

Now, on the occasion of Valentine's Day, Google also shared an interactive doodle with a "scientific twist" to explain the chemistry of love. Upon clicking on the doodle, a new page, Chemistry CuPd, opens with an option of taking a quiz to find one's chemical element. Then, after discovering your personality element through some questions, you can also start bonding with other elements like hydrogen, sodium, nitrogen, etc., by swiping left - just like online dating.

"Making diatomic bonds on Valentine's Day. Diatomic molecules are made from a bond between two atoms. Sometimes it's a bond between the same element like H2 (hydrogen gas) and sometimes it's two different elements, like HCl (hydrogen chloride)," Google's explanation about the doodle read. 

"Are you made of beryllium, gold, and titanium? Because you're BeAuTi-ful! Today's interactive game Doodle celebrates Valentine's Day with a scientific spin - it's all about the chemistry. There's no stronger bond than love, especially when the chemistry is just right. Happy Valentine's Day!" read Google's blog.
