The Nature of Dark Matter We observe the universe around us through many scientific means. However it is through the electromagnetic spectrum‚ that is everything from radio waves to gamma waves‚ that we learn about the objects in our world and beyond. However we can also learn about our universe through indirect means‚ such as the effect of gravity on light as well as larger objects like our galaxy. In fact it is this indirect method of observation that has led us to the discovery of extra-solar

States of matter are the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. Historically‚ the distinction is made based on qualitative differences in bulk properties. Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume but adapts to the shape of its container; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy whatever volume is available. This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions

Chapter 6 Tax matters 1、 Why have tax? The Collins Concise English Dictionary (1992. P 1383) defines the word “tax” as: “a compulsory financial contribution imposed by a government to raise revenue‚ levied on income or property‚ on the prices of goods and services‚ etc. and to levy a tax on (persons‚ companies‚ etc.)” (Clinton Alley‚ 2008). there are several reasons can explain the existence of tax: The main function of taxation is the fiscal one.

vote is capable of changing the fate of the country. Voting is the act of selection and some may say that someone’s vote is unnecessary‚ since there are already so many people voting in that region. However‚ one vote is capable of determining the destiny of the future of America. Moreover‚ voting not only makes the nation unique with its rights‚ but more importantly it impacts the country and its civilians. A great example is the presidential election. Even if the candidates are not fantastic‚ as a country

CHAPTER 5 STATES OF MATTER INTERMOLECULAR FORCES Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction and repulsion between interacting particles (atoms and molecules). Attractive intermolecular forces are known as van der Waals forces. van der Waals forces include dispersion forces or London forces‚ dipole-dipole forces‚ and dipole-induced dipole forces. A particularly strong type of dipole-dipole interaction is hydrogen bonding. Dispersion Forces or London Forces Observed between non-polar molecules

Chapter 15: • Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. – Ex: Your textbook‚ you‚ your pen/pencil‚ air‚ etc. • Classification systems are used all the time to organize objects. – Ex: The Periodic Table of Elements‚ organizing your locker‚ your clothes‚ etc. • In order to make the study of matter easier to understand‚ scientists have developed ways to classify matter. • The properties of materials can be used to classify them into general categories. – Ex: Pure substances‚ elements
