It appears Chucker found one that is stronger than the one I thought was strongest. My source said that an 8.7 occured on December 16, 1811; hence my hint. But Chucker found a stronger one, the strongest in history, and therefore he gets the points. Congrats!

A two-dimensional surface with only one side. Created usually by cutting out a long strip of paper, twisting it in the middle, then connecting the ends.

Melvin Calvin won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1961 for his intensive studies in photosynthesis.

Razzle was incorrect. He did not win the award for chemistry. He won the award for working out the cycle of photosynthesis. Chucker has taken the lead by one point!

Which element of the periodic table reacts with the water vapor in the air?

That is quite a hard one, but if no one can get it I will offer some hints. And Fantomeye, you can't answer, because I've already told you this one

Rust is a chemical reaction between metal and oxygen, not water vapor.
Potassium is incorrect, and so is Iron. Sorry guys.
I'll give a hint: It is a metal. Metals become more reactive as you go down the colums.

Rust is actually a chemical reaction between oxygen AND water vapour. We're talking about water vapour alone here.
And mercury reacts with oxygen, not water. Could be sodium, sulphur, chlorine or nitrogen, but it's probably something else.
