=== '''Category: What is Chemistry?''' === | |||
* '''$100:''' ''This branch of science studies matter, its properties, and how it changes during reactions.'' '''Answer:''' What is chemistry? | |||
* '''$200:''' ''Chemistry is sometimes called the “central science” because it bridges these two sciences.'' '''Answer:''' What are physics and biology? | |||
* '''$300:''' ''This term refers to the smallest unit of a chemical element that retains its properties.'' '''Answer:''' What is an atom? | |||
* '''$400:''' ''Chemistry impacts our daily lives in this way, from cooking to cleaning to powering cars.'' '''Answer:''' What is by driving chemical reactions? | |||
* '''$500:''' ''This term describes the study of the interactions and structure of tiny particles too small to see with the naked eye.'' '''Answer:''' What is molecular chemistry? | |||
---- | |||
=== '''Category: Branches of Chemistry''' === | |||
* '''$100:''' ''This branch studies carbon-containing compounds and is often associated with living organisms.'' '''Answer:''' What is organic chemistry? | |||
* '''$200:''' ''The study of metals, minerals, and other non-carbon-based substances belongs to this branch.'' '''Answer:''' What is inorganic chemistry? | |||
* '''$300:''' ''This branch focuses on the analysis of substances to determine what they're made of.'' '''Answer:''' What is analytical chemistry? | |||
* '''$400:''' ''The study of chemical processes in living organisms, like digestion, belongs to this branch.'' '''Answer:''' What is biochemistry? | |||
* '''$500:''' ''This branch explores how energy and matter interact in chemical systems.'' '''Answer:''' What is physical chemistry? | |||
---- | |||
=== '''Category: Everyday Chemistry''' === | |||
* '''$100:''' ''When you bake bread, this chemical compound helps it rise by producing carbon dioxide gas.'' '''Answer:''' What is baking soda (or sodium bicarbonate)? | |||
* '''$200:''' ''The rusting of metal is an example of this type of chemical reaction involving oxygen and moisture.'' '''Answer:''' What is oxidation? | |||
* '''$300:''' ''This common household substance, known for its acidic properties, is often used in cleaning and pickling.'' '''Answer:''' What is vinegar? | |||
* '''$400:''' ''The chemical process of combining hydrogen and oxygen to create water releases this form of energy.'' '''Answer:''' What is heat (or thermal energy)? | |||
* '''$500:''' ''These portable energy sources, found in devices like phones, rely on chemical reactions to produce electricity.'' '''Answer:''' What are batteries? | |||
---- | |||
=== '''Category: The Scientific Method''' === | |||
* '''$100:''' ''The first step in the scientific method involves making this type of statement or observation.'' '''Answer:''' What is a question (or hypothesis)? | |||
* '''$200:''' ''The scientific method relies on this process to test a hypothesis.'' '''Answer:''' What is experimentation? | |||
* '''$300:''' ''This variable is the one that scientists deliberately change during an experiment.'' '''Answer:''' What is the independent variable? | |||
* '''$400:''' ''The scientific method requires these measurable outcomes to evaluate a hypothesis.'' '''Answer:''' What are data (or results)? | |||
* '''$500:''' ''In an experiment, this type of group is used as a baseline and does not receive the experimental treatment.'' '''Answer:''' What is the control group? | |||
---- | |||
=== '''Category: Chemistry in Food''' === | |||
* '''$100:''' ''This ingredient, often paired with baking soda, releases carbon dioxide gas to make baked goods fluffy.'' '''Answer:''' What is cream of tartar? | |||
* '''$200:''' ''The process of pickling involves soaking food in this acidic liquid to preserve it.'' '''Answer:''' What is vinegar? | |||
* '''$300:''' ''This chemical reaction causes browning in foods like toasted bread or grilled steak.'' '''Answer:''' What is the Maillard reaction? | |||
* '''$400:''' ''The process of turning milk into cheese relies on this enzyme to curdle the milk.'' '''Answer:''' What is rennet? | |||
* '''$500:''' ''Sugar dissolving in water is an example of this type of physical interaction rather than a chemical reaction.'' '''Answer:''' What is solubility? | |||
