Science Flashcards
George Gamow discovered this process via quantum tunneling
Radioactive decay
A sample undergoes this process over a timeframe called Half life
Radioactive decay
The presence of deuterium rather than the normal protium characterizes the ‘heavy’ form of this molecule
Water
This molecule is known as the “universal solvent”
Water
The Doppler redshift caused by this force was studied in the Pound-Rebka experiment
Gravity
This force’s namesake constant is approximately 6.67 times ten to the negative eleventh meters cubed over kilograms times seconds squared
Gravity
Norman Good once selected 12 of these types of compounds, including Tricine and Bicine
Buffer solutions
identify these solutions made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa.
Buffer solutions
Due to Le Chatelier’s Principle, their pH changes very little when a small amount of strong acid or base is added to them
Buffer solutions
When light hits a convex lens on a glass plane, an effect known as this physicist’s namesake “rings” occurs
Sir Isaac Newton
but this man wrote about his experiments using a prism in Opticks
Sir Isaac Newton
This element is fixed in the Haber process and bonds with carbon to form cyanide
Nitrogen
Azides and amines are functional groups composed of this element
Nitrogen
Males who carry this disease are infertile due to the congenital absence of the vas deferens
Cystic Fibrosis
Heterozygotes who carry this disease may have a resistance to cholera
Cystic Fibrosis
Location on this body was named after Octavia Butler in 2021
Mars
“Societies” of this class of animals were the subject of a 1971 book by EO Wilson
Insecta(insects)
In the class eusociality is a trait of orders like Hymenoptera.
Insecta(insects)
One of these gems known as la peregrina was owned by Mary the first.
Pearls
Dark spots on this object usually appear in pairs with opposite magnetic polarity.
Sun
This object’s winds get deflected by earth’s magnetosphere.
