I. Identification.
1. ____________ Determines the color, texture , chemical properties, mineral and
permeability of soil.
parent rock
2. ____________ is usually dark brown or black and is easily compressible because of
how much water it can hold.
peat/peaty soil
3. ___________is made when the appropriate monomers(the chemical building blocks
which make up polymers) are combined to form a long chain via a condensation
polymerisation reaction.
nylon
4. In the ____________ , the silicates
are generally solid but localized
regions of melt exist, leading to
limited viscosity.
upper mantle
5. The internal motion of atoms is called ____________.
Heat energy
6. ____________ is made up of tiny
particles so it stores water well, but
because of its tight grasp on water it expands greatly when moist and
shrinks significantly when dry.
Clay
7. ____________has the largest particles of the different soil types. It is dry and gritty to
the touch and does not hold moisture because of the large openings, but drains easily.
sand/gravel
8. the polymer grows from
monomers by splitting off a small molecule such as water
or carbon dioxide through a process known as ____________.
Condensation polymerization
9. The first synthetic plastic is fabricated by____________, an American chemist of
Belgian origin.

___________.
mechanical energy
16. ___________is used as a catalyst to make margarine.
Nickel
17. ___________is the ability of a metal to be drawn into wires.
