I just had this question and I got it wrong but here's what is says to put:  Democritus' ideas were not supported by evidence. Dalton's theory was the first scientific theory because it relied on scientific investigative processes. Dalton's theory was supported by evidence and repeated investigation.

Democritus *suggested* the existence of the atom, that everything was made up of tiny particles, but wasn't really able to get more specific than that. Dalton also theorized that everything was made up of indivisible particles, but went further basing his theory on actual scientific principles, such as the Law of Conservation of Mass and the Law of Constant Composition. He also said that atoms weren't created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, just rearranged.  There's more to it than that, but basically, Dalton's theory was based more on science while Democritus' theory was too general to be useful in chemical situations.

Define all of the different changes of state and what the states they change to and form
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Processes in which matter changes between liquid and solid states are freezing and melting. Processes in which matter changes between liquid and gaseous states are vaporization, evaporation, and condensation. Processes in which matter changes between solid and gaseous states are sublimation and deposition.

In a simplified model of a hydrogen atom, the electron moves around the proton nucleus in a circular orbit of radius 0.53 × x10−
sergiy2304 [10]

the force between the electron and the proton.
a) Use F = k * q1 * q2 / d² 
where k = 8.99e9 N·m²/C² 
and q1 = -1.602e-19 C (electron) 
and q2 = 1.602e-19 C (proton) 
and d = distance between point charges = 0.53e-10 m 
The negative result indicates "attraction". 

the radial acceleration of the electron. 
b) Here, just use F = ma 
where F was found above, and 
m = mass of electron = 9.11e-31kg, if memory serves 
a = radial acceleration 

the speed of the electron. 
c) Now use a = v² / r 
where a was found above 
and r was given 

<span> the period of the circular motion.</span>
d) period T = 2π / ω = 2πr / v 
where v was found above 
and r was given

as the bright sun shines upon the water the water slowly disappears the same sunlight gives energy to the surrounding plants to

Well when the sun makes water dissaper thats usually evaporation.

The chemical changes is when the plants absorb the energy from the sunlight and convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen gas. Physically nothing has changed. The plant still looks the sam changes occur internally these internal changes are chemical in nature.
