What is Condensation?
200
A reaction or a change in a substance produced by chemical means that results in producing a different chemical.
What is Chemical Reaction?
200
The factor that is changed in an experiment in order to study changes in the dependent variable.
What is the Independent Variable?
300
This any periodic function the maximum variation of that function.
What is Amplitude?
300
This a substance that cannot be reduced to a smaller substance by chemical means.
What is an Element?

What is a Neutron?
400
A fundamental principle stating energy cannot be created nor destroyed but only changed from one form to another.
What is Conservation of Energy?
400
A substance made up of a combination of two or more elements held together by chemical bonds that cannot be separated by physical means.
What is a Compound?
400
A procedure that is carried out in order to observe a response caused by a stimulus; not a complete experiment.
