12 Questions
What happens when a substance is heated?
The atoms/molecules gain energy and move faster, resulting in stronger and more frequent collisions.
What is the relationship between temperature and the speed of atoms/molecules?
Temperature is a measurement of the average speed of atoms/molecules.
What happens when a substance is cooled?
The atoms/molecules lose energy and move slower, resulting in weaker and less frequent collisions.
How do gaseous atoms/molecules move?
Gaseous atoms/molecules travel in straight lines until they collide with each other or an object, causing their direction to change.
What is the effect of cooling a substance on the volume of the substance?
The volume of the substance decreases as the atoms/molecules get closer together.
Which statement is true about the atoms/molecules themselves when a substance is heated or cooled?
The atoms/molecules do not expand or shrink, they only change their speed of movement.
Which area of science explores the potential for life on other planets?
Astrobiology
What did recent neuroscience studies reveal about the structure of our brains?
Our brains are made up of many lobes with holes in them
What concept in quantum physics describes particles existing in multiple states simultaneously?
Superposition
Which mathematical concept arises naturally in patterns found throughout nature?
