New cards
45

As we proceed with our study of chemistry, we will find ourselves thinking in two realms

the macroscopic realm of ordinary-sized objects 1macro = large2 and the submicroscopic realm of atoms and molecules

New cards
46

They make new types of matter

materials, substances, or combinations of substances with desired properties

New cards
47

Water, for example, is a compound composed of two elements

hydrogen and oxygen

New cards
48

We can also use a significant chemical difference between these metals

New cards
49

We define work, w, as the product of the force exerted on the object, F,is defined as any push or pull exerted on the object and the distance, d, that it moves

w = Fxd

New cards
50

The magnitude of kinetic energy, Ek, of an object depends on its mass, m, and velocity, v
