This liquid is commonly referred to as a "universal solvent."
What is water?
100
A constant used to measure molecular quantities is named after this Italian scientist.
Who is Amedeo Avogadro?
100
When crystallized in a lab, this element forms pearlescent stairstep-like structures.
What is bismuth (Bi)?
100
This greenhouse gas is released when cows belch.
What is methane?
100
This term describes a substance whose pH is greater than 7.
What is basic?
200
When hit with a neutron, this radioactive element will split into krypton and barium, as well as three neutrons that continue a chain reaction.
What is uranium (U)?
200
Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. She also coined the term "radioactive" and discovered radium and this other radioactive element, named after her home country.
What is polonium (Po)?
200
This element, one of the rarest in Earth's atmosphere and the namesake of a certain superhero's home planet, will only readily react with fluorine.
What is krypton (Kr)?
200
This addictive substance desensitizes receptors on neurons and is found in tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes, and tobacco.
What is nicotine?
200
This quantity is defined as the energy transferred as a result of a temperature difference between a system and its surroundings.
What is heat?
300
This particle is similar to an electron, but it is 207 times heavier. This particle is created when a tau lepton decays.
What is a muon?
300
This Parisian chemist's contributions to science include the law of conservation of mass and the word "oxygen."
Who is Antoine Lavoisier?
300
This element is named after a Swedish village.
What is Ytterbium (Yb)?
300
These are the five basic tastes that human tongues are able to detect.
What are sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami?
300
This intrinsic characteristic of the universe always experiences a net increase.
What is entropy?
400
This technology scans physical surfaces by measuring the time it takes to reflect light from a surface, and has been used to discover ancient civilizations in Central and South America.
What is light detection and ranging (lidar)?
400
This chemist discovered that the mole fraction of a gas that is dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the same gas above the liquid.
Who is William Henry?
400
This element is primarily obtained through an ion exchange process in monazite sand.
What is Europium (Eu)?
400
Because of complications in harvesting product from this animal, R. sulfidophilum has been used to produce MaSp1 protein as an alternative.
What is a spider?
400
Boyle's law relates pressure and this quantity.
What is volume?
500
On Earth, this state of matter can only exist at the Large Hadron Collider and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider due to the high amounts of energy it takes to create.
What is quark-gluon plasma?
500
This German chemist is most known for establishing the basis of the structural theory in organic chemistry.
Who is August Kekulé?
500
Using emission spectroscopy, it was found that HR 465 (GY Andromedae) generates this element, although the mechanism is largely unknown.
What is promethium (Pm)?
500
"Non-persistance" is a term used to describe the decreased production of this enzyme after the first few months of life.
What is lactase?
500
The specific heat capacity of a substance is measured with these units.
