CORRECT SOLUTIONS.
the 3 domains of chemistry - (ANSWER)macroscopic, microscopic, symbolic
macroscopic domain - (ANSWER)the realm of everyday objects large enough to be sensed directly by
human sight or touch
microscopic domain - (ANSWER)the realm of objects that are too small to be sensed directly, visited in
the imagination or visible through microscopes, etc
symbolic domain - (ANSWER)specialized language used to represent components of the macroscopic
and microscopic domains
abbreviation for gas - (ANSWER)(g)
abbreviation for solid - (ANSWER)(s)
