An atom is the smallest unit of matter that

defines the chemical elements.

Bacteria
microscopic

are
organisms

whose single cells have neither a membraneenclosed

nucleus

nor

other

membrane-

enclosed organelles like mitochondria and

chloroplasts.

An electrical conductor is a
substance

in

which

electrical charge carriers,

usually electrons,

move

atom

easily

from atom to

with

the

application of voltage.

Diffraction refers to various phenomena which

occur when a wave encounters an obstacle or a slit.

Evaporation is a type
of vaporization of
a liquid that occurs from the surface of
a liquid into a gaseous phase that is not
saturated

with

the

evaporating

substance.

Friction is
the force resisting the relative motion of
solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material
elements sliding against each other

Gravity (also called gravitation) is

a natural
phenomenon by
which
all physical
bodies attract
each
other.

Horsepower is a unit of
measurement of power

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical

element which differ in neutron number, although
all isotopes of a given element have the same
number of protons in each atom.

The joule (symbol J, also called newton

meter, watt second, or coulomb volt) is the
SI unit of energy and work.

Kinetic

energy is energy of motion. The

kinetic energy of an object is the energy it

possesses because of its motion.

Lipids are a group of naturally

occurring molecules that
include fats, waxes, sterols, fatsolublevitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E,
and
K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerid
es, phospholipids, and others.

A machine is a tool containing one or more

parts

that

uses energy to

perform

an

intended action.

Noble

gases, any of the seven chemical

elements that make up Group 18 (VIIIa) of

the periodic table.

Oxygen is

a chemical

element with

symbol O and atomic number 8.

The periodic table is a tabular arrangement

of the chemical elements, organized on the
basis of their atomic number (number of
protons

in

configurations,
properties.

the

nucleus), electron

and

recurring chemical

Quality or Timbre enables one to distinguish

between sounds with the same pitch and
intensity

but

produced

by

different

sources.

Radiation is energy that comes from a

source and travels through some material or
through space. Light, heat and sound are
types of radiation.

Static

frictional

forces

from

the

interlocking

of

the

irregularities of two surfaces will increase to prevent any

relative motion up until some limit where motion occurs.

Temperature is a measurement of the

average kinetic energy of the molecules in
an object or system and can be measured
with a thermometer or a calorimeter.

Uniform motion describes an object that is

moving in a specific direction at a constant
speed.

Vibration is a mechanical phenomenon

whereby oscillations occur about
an equilibrium point.

In physics, a force is said to do work if,

when

acting

on

body,

there

is

displacement of the point of application in

the direction of the force.

X-rays are a type of electromagnetic

radiation, just like visible light.

A yield strength or yield point of a material is

defined in engineering and materials
science as the stress at which a material
begins to deform plastically.

Zinc, in commerce also spelter, is a chemical

element with symbol Zn and atomic number
30. It is the first element of group 12 of
the periodic table
