Why can samples of gold and copper have the same set of physical properties but not the same set of chemical properties?

They do not have the same set of physical properties. At the very least they have different melting and boiling points, and different densities, and their colors are not identical.


What is the temperature for solids?

The temperature of a solid can vary depending on its specific properties and composition. Solids generally have a range of melting points where they transition from a solid to a liquid state. The temperature of a solid can be affected by factors such as pressure and the presence of impurities.


What is a substance that has the same set of properties no matter how it is made or where it is found?

An element is a substance that has the same set of properties no matter how it is made or where it is found. Elements are pure substances made up of only one type of atom, and each element has a unique set of properties that distinguish it from other elements.


Develop a set of questions that would be useful when identifying an unknown substance this substance or maybe a liquid to a gas or a solid?

To identify an unknown substance, consider asking the following questions: What is the state of the substance at room temperature (solid, liquid, or gas)? What are its physical properties, such as color, odor, and texture? Does it dissolve in water or other solvents, and what is its boiling or melting point? Additionally, can it conduct electricity or react with acids or bases, indicating its chemical properties?


What is basis in solid state?

In solid-state physics, "basis" refers to a set of vectors that define a crystal's lattice structure and play a fundamental role in describing the periodicity of the crystal. By combining the basis vectors with translation vectors, we can reproduce the entire crystal lattice. This concept is crucial for understanding the electronic and vibrational properties of solids.
