Homogenous/Heterogenous
Heterogeneous mixture- any combination of substances that does not have uniform composition and properties; a mixture of physically distinct substances with different properties.
6 Examples- sandy water, carbonated beverage or beer, orange juice with pulp in it, water with ice cubes in it, chicken noodle soup.
Homogeneous mixture- any combination of substances that has uniform composition and properties; a mixture that is uniform through out.
6 Examples- salty water(salt dissolved) brewed tea or coffee soapy water a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid hard alcohol wine

There are two main categories of subatomic particles - fermions and bosons. Fermions are the particles we think of as "stuff" - leptons like the electron, neutrino, and cousins, and quarks like the up quark and others in its sizable family. Gauge bosons are the particles that mediate the four fundamental forces of nature - the weak and strong nuclear forces, electromagnetism, and gravity. These include the familiar photon, and its far less-frequently-seen cousins, the W and Z bosons, gluons, and (physicists expect) the graviton, the much-sought-after particle thought to mediate gravitational interactions.

energy transfer-Any process in which a system interacts with its surroundings in such a way that the energy of the system increases (or decreases) while that of the surroundings decreases (or increases) by the same amount.
convection-transport of heat and moisture by the movement of a fluid.
conduction-The transfer of heat energy through a substance or from one substance to another by direct contact of atoms or molecules.
radiation-when heat transfers from one point to another.
