The wavelength of maximum absorbence relates to the color, because the only color that is not absorbed will be the color of the item. For example, plants are green because they absorb red and blue light, and reflect green light.

What is combustion and how does it relate to oxygen?

The process of combustion is oxidation at a rapid enough rate to produce a flame. Oxidation requires an oxidizing agent. That agent is usually oxygen when a substance combusts in the atmosphere.


Can you relate exothermic and endothermic reactions to the making and breaking of bonds?

Bond breaking is endothermic, which means it takes energy. An example would be breaking a window. Bond making is exothermic, which means it releases energy. An example would be burning a substance.


What is the difference between a naturally occurring substance and a synthetic substance?

a naturally occurring substance is one that can be randomized in between matter of existence for example: it is a substance you can create without knowing what it does so it occurs naturally. the synthetic substance is one of which a robot could relate to as it is a type of substance used within robotics and metallics of vehicles and other electrical equipment (synthetic meaning robotic) Firstly synthetic does not mean robotic. Look it up. Secondly I'm not convinced that the answer above would be right even if it was coherent. Naturally occurring denotes a substance that occurs in nature, in the right circumstances this can cover a wide variety of things. Synthetic substances are artificial or man made, generally for a specific purpose. Even some elements can be synthesized though these are incredibly unstable and thus not naturally occurring.


How colors relate?

The answer depends on "related to WHAT!"


What does neutralization mean how does relate to pH?

Neutralization is a reaction between a base and an acid which forms water and a salt. This has to do with pH because whether a substance is acidic or basic is based on it's pH.

Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength: the shorter the wavelength (X-rays, gamma rays) the greater the energy.

How do you relate characteristics of light such as colour and intensity to frequency and wavelength?

The only reasonable way to relate a frequency or wavelength (the two are related by a very simple equation, so they're effectively the same information) to a color is by looking at a table or chart; there's no mathematical equation that you can put a number in and get out "red" as the answer. Intensity has nothing to do with color, frequency, or wavelength, so there's no way to relate it to any of those properties.
