If Cathode rays emitted by a piece of silver and a piece of copper illustrate identical properties What is the significance of this observation?
The particle given off must be common in all elements.
Is denting a piece of metal a physical or chemical change?
Physical. The properties of the metal do not change, and it can be undented.
What name do we give to the tiniest piece of element?
The smallest particle of an element that still has all the properties of an element is an atom of that element.
How can two proteins with the same number and type of amino acid have different primary structures?
The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acids. There are many different ways that the same collection of amino acids can attach to each other to form a protein molecule; it's basically the same idea as Lego pieces. Any Lego piece will plug in to any other Lego piece, and you can arrange them in lots of different ways.
What characteristic exist in magnets that does not exist in material that lack magnetism?
A magnet is a piece of iron or other material that attracts other iron-containing objects. The characteristic that exists in magnets that does not exist in materials that lack magnetism is the alignment of domains.
Are the atoms in a piece of iron different from the atoms in a piece of tin?
Yes. Their atomic mass is different, among other things.
What are the properties of naphtha?
Its a piece of matter
What are some examples of intensive properties?
Examples are temperature, color, hardness, melting point, boiling point, pressure, molecular weight, and density. Because intensive properties are sometimes characteristic of a particular material, they can be helpful as clues in identifying unknown substances.

molecule
Why can't you use density or reactivity to determine whether a sample of cobalt or nickel?
If you had a piece of metal, you could use these properties to determine which element it is. Iron has different physical and chemical properties than the other two elements. The density of iron is much less than cobalt or nickel, and it reacts with oxygen in the air.
