Chemistry is like a puzzle ...

===Rules===
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Entropy: The blue line is an entropy line. Any set of three sequential cells along an entropic line must contain a low digit (1,2,3), a middle digit (4,5,6), and a high digit (7,8,9). Digits may repeat on a line, if allowed by other rules.
Thermo: Digits must strictly increase from the bulb towards the tip in the thermometers.
Kropki: Empty circles connect consecutive digits, filled circle (box-7, left circle) joins digits with 1:2 ratio. Not all possible dots are given.
Shadings are just for aesthetics.

Following your concern about the colors, A new link to the puzzle with slightly different colors of the line and shading is added for better visibility.

Lovely puzzle, nice flow and pretty neat use of entropic lines. The only thing I would change is the dark blue line, the dark color makes seeing the pencil marks a bit hard, but other than that, it was a really enjoyable solve :)
@taniabn...thank you for the solve, feedback and the kind suggestion. I am happy that you enjoyed solving the puzzle. I now completely understand your concern about the blue line. I shall post a better version (link) as soon as I get a computer access.

Lovely puzzle. Did you create it because of the Lessons in Chemistry show that just premiered?
@Zensien, Thanks for the solve and feedback. In my school/college days, I used to like chemistry a lot. So thought of making a puzzle around it...
