What is dark matter?
The term used to describe a virus that attacks bacteria.
What is a bacteriophage?
In the excitation of metal ions by light, light of a high enough frequency can cause the excited electrons to be ejected from the metal via this effect.
What is the photoelectric effect?
According to this principle, an object partly or completely submerged in a fluid will experience a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces.
What is the Principle of Archimedes?
This allotrope of carbon is known for its strong bonds within the plane, but weak bonds between planes.
What is graphite?
If a certain planet has four times the mass of Earth, but the acceleration due to gravity on the planet’s surface is the same as that of Earth, this is the ratio of the planet’s radius to the Earth’s radius.

What is chlorosis?
In this type of isomerism, which is a subset of stereoisomerism, compounds interconvert by rotation of single bonds.
What is conformational isomerism?
A liquid, in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer keeping that liquid from boiling rapidly through this phenomenon.
What is the Leidenfrost Effect?
This vesicular basaltic lava sinks in water.
What is scoria?
During this period about 3.9 billion years ago, evidence suggests that the Earth was undergoing a cataclysmic convulsion in which the surfaces of the Moon, the Earth, Mercury, Venus, and Mars were heavily impacted by fragments left over from formation of the planets.
