My Glossary

20 Words you might use in Pure Science. terms

Hi, my name is Samuel Boyer. I did a glossary which will help me and you to know some word and their definition. Those are materials or words you might use in my program. I think this is really helpful for people who want to study Pure Science. When you are studying Pure Science, you will have a lot of chemistry and physics. The words are related to my program.

atom
The basic unit of a chemical element.
biology
The study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution.
calculator
Something used for making mathematical calculations, in particular a small electronic device with a keyboard and a visual display.
chapter
A main division of a book, typically with a number or title.
chemistry
The branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed; the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances.
formula
A mathematical relationship or rule expressed in symbols.
gloves
A covering for the hand worn for protection against cold or dirt and typically having separate parts for each finger and the thumb.
infrared
Infrared radiation (IR), or infrared light, is a type of radiant energy that's invisible to human eyes but that we can feel as heat.
lab coat
A white protective coat worn by workers in a laboratory.
laboratory
A room or building equipped for scientific experiments, research, or teaching, or for the manufacture of drugs or chemicals.
mathematician
An expert in or student of mathematics.
molar mass
In chemistry, the molar mass of a chemical compound is defined as the mass of a sample of that compound divided by the amount of substance in that sample, measured in moles.
noble gas
Any of the gaseous elements helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, occupying Group 0 (18) of the periodic table. They were long believed to be totally unreactive but compounds of xenon, krypton, and radon are now known.
particle
A minute portion of matter.
periodic table
A table of the chemical elements arranged in order of atomic number, usually in rows, so that elements with similar atomic structure (and hence similar chemical properties) appear in vertical columns.
polyelectronic
An atom containing more than one electron.
research
The systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
safety glasses
Toughened glasses or goggles for protecting the eyes when using power tools or industrial or laboratory equipment.
theorem
A general proposition not self-evident but proved by a chain of reasoning; a truth established by means of accepted truths.
thermometer
An instrument for measuring and indicating temperature, typically one consisting of a narrow, hermetically sealed glass tube marked with graduations and having at one end a bulb containing mercury or alcohol that expands and contracts in the tube with heating and cooling.
