You did not provide the statements but a possible answer might be that the current atomic theory is sound and that technology that could challenge it does not exist at this time. There is no way to change it because no research can be done about it.
I guess you could call them that. In chemistry, we call them Metalloids though.
I think this the the list of choices relating to the above question.
reaction rate
<span>activation energy </span>
<span>collision theory </span>
<span>spontaneous reaction
</span>
The term that best relate to ben's observation is REACTION RATE.
Reaction rate is defined as the speed at which the chemical reaction proceeds. It either is the amount of concentration of a product in a given unit of time or the concentration of the reactant that is being consumed in a unit of time.
