ACSCH110

Cell potentials at standard conditions can be calculated from standard electrode potentials; these values can be used to compare cells constructed from different materials

Unit 4: Revolutions in modern physics Physics

The development of quantum theory and the theory of relativity fundamentally changed our understanding of how nature operates and led to the development of a wide range of new technologies, including technologies that revolutionised the storage, processing …

ACSCH106

The relative strength of oxidising and reducing agents can be determined by comparing standard electrode potentials

ACSPH146

High-energy particle accelerators are used to test theories of particle physics including the Standard Model

ACSPH147

The Standard Model is used to describe the evolution of forces and the creation of matter in the Big Bang theory

ACSPH141

The Standard Model is based on the premise that all matter in the universe is made up from elementary matter particles called quarks and leptons; quarks experience the strong force, leptons do not

ACSPH142

The Standard Model explains three of the four fundamental forces (strong, weak and electromagnetic forces) in terms of an exchange of force-carrying particles called gauge bosons; each force is mediated by a different type of gauge boson

Unit 1: Introduction to Earth systems Earth and Environmental Science

The Earth system involves four interacting systems: the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. A change in any one ‘sphere’ can impact others at a range of temporal and spatial scales. In this unit, students build on their existing knowledge …
