It's Elemental
Found in all organic compounds, this element comprises coal, diamond, and Buckminsterfullerene.
What is carbon?
This philosopher was the man that termed the atom.
Who is Democritus?
This chemical process causes a sliced apple to turn brown when exposed to air.
What is oxidation?
Dry ice (CO2) bypasses the liquid phase entirely at normal atmospheric pressure, transitioning directly from a highly ordered solid to a highly disordered gas via this endothermic process.
What is sublimation?
This isotope is used to diagnose and treat thyroid disorders.
What is Iodine-131?
This colorless gas makes up 78% of the atmosphere and is a major component of protein, DNA, and TNT.
What is nitrogen.
This Italian scientist is responsible for one of the most important "numbers" in chemistry.
Who is Avagadro?
This common kitchen ingredient is a base that reacts with acids like vinegar or buttermilk to release carbon dioxide gas, causing dough to rise.
What is baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)?
According to kinetic molecular theory, particles in this specific state of matter possess a fixed volume but take the shape of their container because they have enough thermal energy to slide past one another, but not enough to escape their attractive forces.
What is a liquid?
This nuclear process is responsible for a chain reaction that is the chemistry behind atomic bombs.
What is nuclear fission?
This violet-black solid has London-dispersion forces holding it together which allow for it's molecules to sublime at room temperature.
What is iodine?
Responsible for the first gas law, this Irish chemist determined the relationship between pressure and volume.
Who is Robert Boyle?
Iron (III) oxide is commonly referred to as what?
When a gas transitions directly into a solid state, such as water vapor turning into frost on a freezing winter morning, it undergoes this specific exothermic phase change.
What is deposition?
This separation technique is responsible for separating different liquids based on their different boiling points?
What is distillation?
This element was discovered by the great Marie Curie and was named in honor of her home country, Poland.
What is polonium, Po.
He developed the organizing principle for the elements and is the father of the modern periodic table.
Who is Dmitri Mendeleev?
Copper cookware is highly prized by professional chefs because it responds instantly to temperature changes. Thermodynamically, this is because copper metal possesses an exceptionally low value for this specific physical property compared to iron or water.
What is specific heat capacity?
On a standard phase diagram, this is the precise temperature and pressure coordinate where the solid, liquid, and gas phases of a pure substance exist in simultaneous, perfect thermodynamic equilibrium.
What is the triple point?
The lightest metal, this element is highly reactive and produces a red flame.
What is lithium?
This metalloid is a hard black solid, that is a component of tennis racquets, golf clubs, and Borax soap.
What is boron?
The father of nuclear chemistry and nuclear physics; discovered and named the atomic nucleus, the proton, the alpha particle, and the beta particle; discovered the concept of nuclear half-lives; achieved the first laboratory transformation of one element into another.
Who is Ernest Rutherford?
Antifreeze uses ethylene glycol to prevent a car's radiator from freezing in the winter and boiling over in the summer. This dual effect relies on what specific class of solution properties that depend solely on solute particle concentration?
At standard temperature and pressure, elements in this specific diatomic halogen family transition down the periodic table from gases (Fluorine, Chlorine) to a liquid (Bromine) to a solid (Iodine) due to a steady increase in this specific type of intermolecular force.
What are London dispersion forces?
While not an actual guinea pig, he is the shy, long-suffering assistant of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew from “The Muppet Show” and shares his name with what flat-bottomed cylindrical container used in chemistry.
Who is Beaker?
