Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

reactants

products

components

fuel


Solution

4

Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

a direction only

a magnitude only

a magnitude and a direction

a direction and a polarity


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

gas

solid

gel

liquid


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.
