(b) a characteristic of a substance involving the possible transformations that the substance can undergo to produce a new substance

(d) a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler stable substances in a chemical reaction

(e) ï¬�le capacity to do work or to transfer heat

(f) a characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing its composition

(g) ï¬�le physical state in which matter has no characteristic shape but takes the shape of the ï¬�lled portion of its container

(h) the ratio of the mass of a substance to its volume

(i) a mixture with uniform composition

(j) ï¬�le physical state of matter Characterized by a ï¬�xed shape and low compressibility

Definition Definition Substance that constitutes everything in the universe. Matter consists of atoms, which are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction: solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).

" is The structure of the bicarbonate (hydrogen carbonate) ion, HCO3-, HCO3 best described as a hybrid of several contributing resonance forms, two of which are shown here. HO :0: :Ö: HO + Bicarbonate is crucial for the control of body pH (for example, blood pH: 7.4). A more self-indulgent use is in baking soda, where it serves as a source of CO2 CO₂ 2 gas, which gives bread and pastry their fluffy constituency. (i) Draw at least one additional resonance form. = (ii) Using curved "electron-pushing" arrows, show how these Lewis structures may be interconverted by movement of electron pairs. (iii) Determine which form or forms will be the major contributor(s) to the real structure of bicarbonate, explaining your answer on the basis of the criteria in Section 1-5.
