One likely application of nanotechnology is the construction of very small containers (Tony Stark’s suit is much less likely.) Let's call these small containers nanocells. The simplest of these cells would mimic red blood cells in that they could be filled with oxygen and then injected into a person’s bloodstream. The containers would slowly leak out the oxygen into the blood. Suppose these nanocells are cubic and 25 nm per side. 4. How many nanocells would be needed to carry one hour’s worth of oxygen into the bloodstream?
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
