In addition to water, there are millions of different kinds of matter in the universe. The dust specks suspended in the air, the air itself, your chair, this textbook, your pen, your classmates, your teacher, and you—all these are examples of matter. In the language of science, matter is anything that has mass and volume (takes up space). In the rest of this chapter, you will examine some key concepts related to matter. You have encountered these concepts in previous studies. Before you continue, complete the Checkpoint activity to see what you recall and how well you recall it. As you proceed through this chapter, assess and modify your answers. [Pg.11]

The first step consists of the molecular adsorption of CO. The second step is the dissociation of O2 to yield two adsorbed oxygen atoms. The third step is the reaction of an adsorbed CO molecule with an adsorbed oxygen atom to fonn a CO2 molecule that, at room temperature and higher, desorbs upon fomiation. To simplify matters, this desorption step is not included. This sequence of steps depicts a Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism, whereby reaction occurs between two adsorbed species (as opposed to an Eley-Rideal mechanism, whereby reaction occurs between one adsorbed species and one gas phase species). The role of surface science studies in fomuilating the CO oxidation mechanism was prominent. [Pg.953]

Spectroscopy, or the study of the interaction of light with matter, has become one of the major tools of the natural and physical sciences during this century. As the wavelength of the radiation is varied across the electromagnetic spectrum, characteristic properties of atoms, molecules, liquids and solids are probed. In the... [Pg.1232]

Cluster research is a very interdisciplinary activity. Teclmiques and concepts from several other fields have been applied to clusters, such as atomic and condensed matter physics, chemistry, materials science, surface science and even nuclear physics. Wlrile the dividing line between clusters and nanoparticles is by no means well defined, typically, nanoparticles refer to species which are passivated and made in bulk fonn. In contrast, clusters refer to unstable species which are made and studied in the gas phase. Research into the latter is discussed in the current chapter. [Pg.2388]

Classical and Quantum Mechanics. At the beginning of the twentieth century, a revolution was brewing in the world of physics. For hundreds of years, the Newtonian laws of mechanics had satisfactorily provided explanations and supported experimental observations in the physical sciences. However, the experimentaUsts of the nineteenth century had begun delving into the world of matter at an atomic level. This led to unsatisfactory explanations of the observed patterns of behavior of electricity, light, and matter, and it was these inconsistencies which led Bohr, Compton, deBroghe, Einstein, Planck, and Schrn dinger to seek a new order, another level of theory, ie, quantum theory. [Pg.161]

During the nineteenth century the growth of thermodynamics and the development of the kinetic theory marked the beginning of an era in which the physical sciences were given a quantitative foundation. In the laboratory, extensive researches were carried out to determine the effects of pressure and temperature on the rates of chemical reactions and to measure the physical properties of matter. Work on the critical properties of carbon dioxide and on the continuity of state by van der Waals provided the stimulus for accurate measurements on the compressibiUty of gases and Hquids at what, in 1885, was a surprisingly high pressure of 300 MPa (- 3,000 atmor 43,500 psi). This pressure was not exceeded until about 1912. [Pg.76]

Rheology is the science of the deformation and flow of matter. It is concerned with the response of materials to appHed stress. That response may be irreversible viscous flow, reversible elastic deformation, or a combination of the two. Control of rheology is essential for the manufacture and handling of numerous materials and products, eg, foods, cosmetics, mbber, plastics, paints, inks, and drilling muds. Before control can be achieved, there must be an understanding of rheology and an ability to measure rheological properties. [Pg.166]
