Nitrogen: is a gas that forms approximately 79% by
volume or 77% by weight of the atmosphere. It can
combine with many metals to form nitrides and is thus
applied to the case-hardening of steel, the usual source
for this purpose being ammonia.
Nuclear: The pronunciation (n ky -l r), which is generally
considered incorrect, is an example of how a familiar
phonological pattern can influence an unfamiliar one. The
usual pronunciation of the final two syllables of this word is
(-kl - r), but this sequence of sounds is rare in English.

Oxygen: Oxygen is one of the chief constituents of the
atmosphere of which it forms approximately one fifth. It is
odourless and invisible. Although oxygen itself does not
burn it is extremely efficient in supporting combustion,
nearly all other chemical elements combine with it under
evolution of heat. It has many uses in industry and is
essential to the BOS (Basic Oxygen SteelmakingProcess).

Physics: a natural science, is the study ofmatter[1] and itsmotion through spacetime and all that derives from these,such as energy and force.[2] More broadly, it is the generalanalysis of nature, conducted in order to understand howthe world and universe behave.[3][4]
Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines, perhapsthe oldest through its inclusion ofastronomy.[5] Over the lasttwo millennia, physics had been considered synonymouswith philosophy, chemistry, and certain branches ofmathematics and biology, but during the Scientific
Revolution in the 16th century, it emerged to become aunique modern science in its own right.[6] However, in somesubject areas such as in mathematical physics andquantum chemistry, the boundaries of physics remaindifficult to distinguish.
Physics is both significant and influential, in part becauseadvances in its understanding have often translated into
new technologies, but also because new ideas in physicsoften resonate with the other sciences, mathematics andphilosophy. For example, advances in the understanding ofelectromagnetism led directly to the development of newproducts which have dramatically transformed modern-daysociety (e.g., television, computers, and domesticappliances); advances in thermodynamics led to thedevelopment of motorized transport; and advances in
mechanics inspired the development ofcalculus.

RAM (Random Access Memory)Both programs and data are called up from permanent

Radiation: In physics, radiation describes any process inwhich energy emitted by one body travels through amedium or through space, ultimately to be absorbed byanother body. Non-physicists often associate the word withionizing radiation (e.g., as occurring in nuclear weapons,nuclear reactors, and radioactive substances), but it canalso refer to electromagnetic radiation (i.e., radio waves,
infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, and X-rays) which

naturally leads to a system ofmeasurements and physicalunits that are equally applicable to all types of radiation.
Radioactive: is the process in which an unstable atomic
nucleus loses energy by emitting ionizing particles and
radiation. This decay, or loss of energy, results in an atom
of one type, called the parent nuclide transforming to anatom of a different type, called the daughter nuclide.
Reaction: In classical mechanics, Newton's third law statesthat forces occur in pairs, one called the Action and theother the Reaction (actio et reactio in Latin). Both forces areequal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The distinctionbetween action and reaction is purely arbitrary: any one ofthe two forces can be considered an action, in which case
the other (corresponding) force automatically becomes itsassociated reaction.

Satellite: is an object which has been placed into orbit by

artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites

Saturate: In physical chemistry, saturation is the point atwhich a solution of a substance can dissolve no more ofthat substance and additional amounts of it will appear asa precipitate. This point of maximum concentration, thesaturation point, depends on the temperature of the liquidas well as the chemical nature of the substances involved.This can be used in the process of recrystallisation to
purify a chemical: it is dissolved to the point of saturationin hot solvent, then as the solvent cools and the solubility

Science: In its broadest sense, science (from the Latin
scientia, meaning "knowledge") refers to any systematic
knowledge-base or prescriptive practice which is capable
of resulting in a prediction or predictable type of outcome.In this sense, science often coincides with a technical art
or practice (praxis) that, because of uncontrollability or
undefinability, have not been reduced to a reproducible
recipe.
Scientist: in the broadest sense, refers to any person that
engages in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge or
an individual that engages in such practices and traditions
that are linked to schools of thought or philosophy. In a
more restricted sense, scientist refers to individuals who
use the scientific method.

Solar system: consists of the Sun and those celestial
objects bound to it by gravity, all of which formed from thecollapse of a giant molecular cloud approximately 4.6 billionyears ago. The Sun's retinue of objects circle it in a nearlyflat disc called the ecliptic plane, most of the mass of whichis contained within eight relatively solitary planets whoseorbits are almost circular. The four smaller inner planets;Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, also called the terrestrialplanets, are primarily composed of rock and metal. The four
outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, alsocalled the gas giants, are composed largely of hydrogenand helium and are far more massive than the terrestrials.
The Solar System is also home to two main belts of smallbodies. The asteroid belt, which lies between Mars andJupiter, is similar to the terrestrial planets as it is composedmainly of rock and metal. The Kuiper belt (and its
subpopulation, the scattered disc), which lies beyondNeptune's orbit, is composed mostly of ices such as water,ammonia and methane. Within these belts, five individualobjects, Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris, arerecognised to be large enough to have been rounded bytheir own gravity, and are thus termed dwarf planets. Thehypothetical Oort cloud, which acts as the source for long-period comets, may also exist at a distance roughly a
thousand times beyond these regions.
