Valence shell
The number of electrons in the outermost shell of a particular atom determines its reactivity, or tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms. This outermost shell is known as the valence shell, and the electrons found in it are called valence electrons.

List 3 possible futures for the universe
Marina86 [1]

1 possible future is The Big Crunch. This theory assumes that the average density of the universe will be enough to stop its expansion and begin contracting.

2. Some theorists state that the expansion of the universe will go on forever, and if that happens, the universe will cool as it expands, and then it will become too cool to sustain life.

3. The Big Rip. The universe may keep expanding, as I mentioned before. But as it expands, the gravity may not be able to hold all the planets together, as it is now. Galaxies would tear apart first, followed by smaller black holes, planets and stars. Eventually, space would start expanding faster than the speed of light, and atoms would start breaking down into super small particles and everything would fall into nothing.

List two pro and cons of genetic engineering
eimsori [14]
Pros: Might someday cure disease, might someday increase crop yeild, might create things that can be of our use. 

Cons: Genetic engineering could cause food allergies, have bad side affects, it could kill animals over time. 

I hope this helps.

Does the size of the particles change as a substance changes state
Kazeer [188]
Ok, particle is not a very nice word, no real sense of size associated with it
it can be a group of molecules like a speck of sand
referring to the molecules themselves
or refering to the atoms that make up the molecule

now in terms of phase change,
if we consider a speck- a group of molecules- then solids will expand when heated, however this definition falls flat in terms of phase change

ok, how about molecules, as molecules undergo phase change, the molecules in relation to each other will move apart from one another. Solid- molecules are bonded, Liquids- molecules are close and flow around each other, Gas- molecules are a significant distance from one another. But the increase in size when you heat up a molecule, i would have to say yes. adding heat increases energy which increases molecular vibration which would probably  increase the overall average size to some unnoticeable degree.

now standalone atoms are just atoms, if you want to consider the electron cloud as size, then heating it up would negligibly cause the outer move outward. but it really depends on the scale of the question
