Chemistry: the central science Flashcards
the study of matter and the changes it undergoes.
Chemistry
anything that occupies space and has mass
Matter
involves changes of state in which the identities of the substances do not change.
Physical change
involves substances that are used up and others are formed to take their places.
Chemical change
Chemistry is often called the central science because a basic knowledge of chemistry is essential for students of biology, physics, geology, and many other courses. True or False
True
made of semiconductor materials that absorb the photons emitted by the sun and generate a flow of electrons
photovoltaic cells
Deals with characterizing the composition of matter, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
