What is a mixture of very tiny particles of pure substances that are dispersed in another substance that do no settle?
suspension
Why do particles of matter attract each other?
All particles with mass are attracted to one another by the force of gravity.
Can an element be separated into simpler substances or converted into another substance by chemical processes?
no ---------- Elements are atoms, which can be separated into smaller particles such as protons, neutrons, electrons, and quarks, but usually not by chemical processes.
What determines how an atom behaves when it encounters another atom?
The electron configuration of an atom determines how it behaves when it comes into contact with another atom.
Why does the rate of chemical reaction decrease over time?
Because radioactive substances have half lives. This decreases the radioactivity in the substance.

What is the movement of objects and substances that move from one place to another?
yes,sound waves always move from one substance to another
What is the difference between particles in a solid and particles in a gas?
The particles of a solid are attracted strongly to other particles around them locking them into a fixed position in which they may only vibrate but not move freely from one position to another. The particles of a gas are the opposite. Not strongly attracted, but move randomly about bouncing off of other gas particles. This allows the gas particles to move to any position, not just remain surrounded by the same few particles.
Calculating concentration gradient?
The gradient can be calculated by comparing the solute particles from one solution with another. Distance determines the gradient levels within the solution.
What do the initials PIASM stand for in the particle theory?
P-particles (All matter is made up of particles)I-identical (All particles in one substance are identical)S-spacing (There is different spacing between particles of different substances)A-attraction (Particles have a certain attraction to one another depending on the state)M-movement (Particles are in constant motion)

What did Christopher Columbus feel strongly about?
there was another continent out there.
Why does the rate of chemical reaction decrease over time?
Because radioactive substances have half lives. This decreases the radioactivity in the substance.
What determines if a material will float in another?
Relative density.
Why does solid has definite volume?
A solid is made of particles that are close together and held rigidly to one another. As a result, they do not move around. We preceive this as keeping their shape or definite shape. Since the particles are as close as they can be and yet held strongly so that they may not move apart we perceive this as keeping the same volume or definite volume.
