element   fundamental principle of matter that cannot be broken down into simpler chemical means  
🗑
atom   smallest unit of an element  
🗑
compound   pure substance composed of two or more substances  
🗑
all living things are made up of...   carbon  
🗑
physical state   solid, liquid, or gas  
🗑
solid   molecules held closely together by strong attractive forces  
🗑
liquid   forces are strong enough to keep molecules in tact, but too weak to hold them rigidly in place  
🗑
gas (vapor)   attractive forces between molecules are weak enough to permit them to move freely  
🗑
sublimation   direct state change from solid to gas (example: dry ice)  
🗑
phase   uniform substance separated by definite visible boundaries  
🗑
wavelength   distance between crests  
🗑
frequency   also known as speed, is the # of waves that pass a given point in a given time  
🗑
dispersion   separation of light into component wavelengths ( slowed down to a different speed)  
🗑
refraction   bending of light wave caused by change in speed (after dispersion when the light changes speed and slows down, causing components to bend at different angles)

🗑
laminated glass   2 pieces of regular glass with plastic between them (windshields)  
🗑
Becke Line   bright halo observed near border of a particle immersed in a liquid of a different refractive index  
🗑

🗑
concentric crack   crack in glass that forms a rough circle around the point of impact  
🗑
Flotation method   reference glass in BROMOFORM/BROMOBENZENE mix, mix adjusted till glass suspended, then suspect glass of similar size and shape is added, if suspect sinks, then the density is greater than both the sample and the mix  
🗑
disappearance of Becke Line   after the mix and sample are of the same density in the flotation method and suspended this is called the MATCH POINT. The halo disapears when the mix and sample have similar refractive indexes  
🗑
