acid अम्ल
A substance that tastes sour, like lemon juice or vinegar. It turns blue litmus red.
ChemistryEnvironment
base क्षार

ChemistryBiologyEnvironment
condensation सघनन
When a gas cools and turns back into a liquid, like drops on a cold glass.
ChemistryEnvironmentPhysics
density घनत्व
How much mass is packed into a space. Things less dense than water float.
PhysicsChemistry
dissolve घुल्नु
To mix into a liquid so completely that you can no longer see the pieces.
ChemistryEnvironment
evaporation वाष्पीकरण
When a liquid slowly turns into a gas (vapour), like puddles drying in the sun.
ChemistryEnvironmentPhysics
evidence प्रमाण
What you saw or measured that shows whether an idea is right.
PhysicsChemistryBiologyEnvironmentTechnology
fair test निष्पक्ष परीक्षण
A test where you change only one thing, so you know what caused the result.
PhysicsChemistryBiologyEnvironmentTechnology
filtration छान्ने विधि
Separating solid bits from a liquid by pouring it through filter paper or cloth.
ChemistryEnvironment
indicator सूचक
A substance that changes colour to show whether something is an acid or a base.
ChemistryEnvironment
mass पिण्ड
How much matter something has, measured in grams or kilograms. It is the same everywhere.
PhysicsChemistry
mixture मिश्रण
Two or more substances mixed together, which can be separated again.
ChemistryEnvironment
neutral तटस्थ

ChemistryEnvironment
oxygen अक्सिजन
A gas in the air that living things need to breathe and that fire needs to burn.
ChemistryBiologyEnvironment
particle कण
A tiny piece that matter is made of, far too small to see.
ChemistryPhysics
prediction अनुमान

ChemistryEnvironment
solvent घोलक
The liquid that something dissolves in, like the water in salt water.
Chemistry
temperature तापक्रम
How hot or cold something is, measured in degrees Celsius (°C).
ChemistryPhysicsEnvironment
