A TV screen looked at from a distance appears as a smooth continuous flow of images.Up close,however,we see this is an illusion.What really exists are a series of tiny dots (pixels).This is similar to a chemist's view of matter in that
A)the fundamental particles of matter can also be seen when looked at closely with a magnifying glass.
B)on the submicroscopic level,chemist's find that matter is made of extremely small particles,such as atoms and molecules.
C)anything that a chemist can see,touch,hear,smell,or taste is an illusion.
D)elements are made up of only three basic types of matter.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The analogy between a TV screen and matter in chemistry is that both can appear as a continuous whole from a distance but are actually made up of tiny individual components when viewed up close. In chemistry, these components are atoms and molecules, which are the fundamental particles that make up all matter. Choice A is incorrect because fundamental particles of matter cannot be seen with a magnifying glass. Choice C is incorrect because chemists rely on the observation of physical properties to study matter. Choice D is incorrect because elements are made up of atoms, which are themselves made up of subatomic particles.
