Study Notes
Applied Science
- Applied science uses scientific knowledge for practical purposes, such as in engineering and medicine.
History of Science
- The earliest written records of identifiable predecessors to modern science date back to the Ancient Greek period.
Physical Science
- Physical science studies the physical world.
Formal Science
- Formal science studies formal systems governed by axioms and rules.
Science Disciplines
- Philosophy and mathematics are science disciplines that are in disagreement about whether they rely on empirical evidence.
Kinetic Theory of Gases
- In the kinetic theory of gases, the term 'molecule' is often used to refer to a collection of atoms bonded together.
Homonuclear Molecule
- A homonuclear molecule is a molecule composed of atoms of the same element.
Types of Molecules
- An ion is a molecule that relaxes the requirement that a molecule contains two or more atoms.
Molecules vs. Ions
- In the context of quantum physics, organic chemistry, and biochemistry, a molecule is different from an ion in that a molecule is a neutral group of atoms, whereas an ion is a charged group of atoms.
Single Molecule
- A group of atoms bonded together by covalent bonds is typically not considered a single molecule.
