10 Questions
What is surface science?
Surface science is the study of physical and chemical phenomena that occur at the interface of two phases.
What are some examples of surface science applications?
Some examples of surface science applications include heterogeneous catalysis, semiconductor device fabrication, fuel cells, self-assembled monolayers, and adhesives.
What is surface chemistry?
Surface chemistry is a field of surface science that focuses on the chemical reactions occurring at the interfaces.
What is surface physics?
Surface physics is a field of surface science that focuses on the physical properties and phenomena occurring at the interfaces.
What is the relationship between surface science and interface and colloid science?
Surface science is closely related to interface and colloid science, as they both study phenomena occurring at interfaces, but the methods used are different.
What is the purpose of listing the chemical elements in chronological order?
The purpose is to present the discovery of the elements in the order they were first defined as pure elements.
Why can't the exact date of discovery be determined for most elements?
The exact date of discovery cannot be determined because it is difficult to pinpoint the precise moment when an element was first recognized as pure.
Are there plans to synthesize more elements?
Yes, there are plans to synthesize more elements in the future.
How many elements are possible?
It is currently unknown how many elements are possible.
What is considered equivalent to the discovery of a new element in the 18th century?
The recognition of a new 'earth' was considered equivalent to the discovery of a new element during that time.
