a laboratory report. 2. Predict physical and chemical properties and changes of matter.
3. Analyze relationships between equilibrium, kinetics and the flow of energy. 4.
Employ a microscopic view of matter to explain macroscopic phenomena. 5. Identify
substances from qualitative analyses and spectroscopic methods.
