Atomic Structure and Properties
If two different samples contain pure substances with distinct elemental compositions, how can they be compared?
By measuring their volume ratio at standard temperature and pressure conditions
By analyzing their percent composition by element using their masses
By checking if they conduct electricity similarly as this relates to metallic character

Activation energy remains constant while frequency factor decreases.
In the context of scuba diving, why is oxygen often mixed with helium in the tanks instead of being used pure?
To increase the tank capacity
To reduce the weight of the tank
To make breathing under water easier
To prevent oxygen toxicity at depth
