| He confirmed the existence of yet another subatomic particle | James Chadwick |
| He carried out experiments to find the quantity of charge by an electron? | R.A Millikan |
| What are the basic steps of the the scientific method? | Making observations,testing hypotheses, and developing theories |

| What is a force that measures the pull on a given mass by gravity? | Weight |
| What is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains? | Mass |
| What is an intensive property that depends only on the composition of a substance , no the size? | Density |
| What are the three (primary) states of matter? Briefly describe each. | Solid: has a definite shape and volume, Liquid: indefinite shape, yet fixed volume, Gas,takes both the shape and size of its container. |
