Types of Research
Research that is carried out for the sake of increasing knowledge.
What is basic research?
The type of research that would test new pharmaceutical medications on the computer before introducing them to people.
What is theoretical chemistry?
The type of properties that depend on the amount of matter present (ex. Volume, Mass, and the Amount of Substance).
What are extensive properties?
These are the general name for the columns on the periodic table.
What are groups or families?
Alloys are mixtures of metals. This is the best category to place them in out of elements, compounds, homogeneous mixtures, or heterogeneous mixtures.
What is homogeneous mixtures?
Type of research that develops useful products and processes.
What is applied research?
The type of chemistry that would study how the digestive system works in a frog.
What is biochemistry?
Melting point, boiling point, ability to conduct electricity are all examples of this type of property.
What are intensive properties?
The order that the following go in as you go left to right across the periodic table (metalloids, metals, nonmetals).
What is metals (left), metalloids (stairstep-line), and nonmetals (right)?
This is the technical name for when you shine light on a mixture and it scatters light.
What is the Tyndall Effect?
This is the type of research used if you are creating a wireless router that can extend a longer distance.
What is technological development?
The type of chemistry that studies the properties of matter and the changes that it undergoes.
What is physical chemistry?
A phase that contains particles that are mobile, fluid, and have definite volumes, but not definite shapes.
What is a liquid?
What is the Alkali metals?
Two materials are mixed in a beaker and they separate when they are left to stand. This is known as which type of mixture (solution, colloid, or suspension).
What is a suspension?
This is advancing or improving technology to make them better.
What is technological development.
The type of chemistry that studies substances that do not contain carbon.
What is inorganic chemistry?
A type of change that converts a chemical into a different substance.
What is a chemical change?
What is period 2?
This has the smallest particles out of the following list: colloid, compound, element, homogeneous mixture, heterogeneous mixture, solution, suspension.
What is an element?
This is researching what caffeine from energy drinks does to the body.
What is basic research.
The study of chemistry that focuses of the identification of components and how materials are composed.
What is analytical chemistry?
What are the two parts of any solution?
What are solute and solvent?
These two of the following would have similar properties: Oxygen, Chlorine, and Iron.
What are oxygen and chlorine?
(They are closer to each other on the periodic table)
This is the classification that should be given to milk out of the following list (element, compound, homogeneous mixture, heterogeneous mixture).
What is heterogeneous mixture?
