hard to answer questions

what is that stuff in a glow stick that makes it glow:roll:

Have a look at this and se if it helps
http://science.howstuffworks.com/light-stick.htm

or for the chemisrty behind the reaction
http://www.cheresources.com/chemilum.shtml

The chemical reaction in a light stick usually involves several different steps. A typical commercial light stick holds a hydrogen peroxide solution and a solution containing a phenyl oxalate ester and a fluorescent dye. Here's the sequence of events when the two solutions are combined:

1. The hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the phenyl oxalate ester, resulting in a chemical called phenol and an unstable peroxyacid ester.
2. The unstable peroxyacid ester decomposes, resulting in additional phenol and a cyclic peroxy compound.
3. The cyclic peroxy compound decomposes to carbon dioxide.
4. This decomposition releases energy to the dye.
5. The electrons in the dye atoms jump to a higher level, then fall back down, releasing energy in the form of light.

Thanks to Google. and howstuffworks
