Are we made of waves?
Are we made of waves? Radio waves are obviously waves. Only when we come close do we notice that this object is actually a wave. Summary: With quantum theory, we find a beautiful unification: instead of there being two fundamental entities (particles and waves), there is only one fundamental entity: waves. Does Matter diffract? All […]
Do elements in a period share chemical properties?
Do elements in a period share chemical properties? All elements in a row have the same number of electron shells. Each next element in a period has one more proton and is less metallic than its predecessor. Arranged this way, groups of elements in the same column have similar chemical and physical properties, reflecting the […]
Why does cooling rate affect crystal size?
Why does cooling rate affect crystal size? As the rate of cooling increases, crystal size decreases. This means that something which cools very quickly will have smaller crystal formations, and something which cools slowly will have larger crystal formations. This is easily seen in igneous rock, which may cool at variable rates. What factors affect […]
