Chapter 2:[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
What is energy?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
Energy is the property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object. It can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed.
List some different forms of energy (at least 5)[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
- Thermal
- Mechanical
- Chemical
- Radiation
- Electric and magnetic
- Nuclear
- Mass
What three main factors influence the world energy consumption?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
- Population
- Affluence
- Technological inventions and productions
Give an example how technology changes our society.[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
How you may use your major to contribute to the society, especially the energy issues?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

Chapter 3-4[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
List at least 3 types of fossil fuels?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
Coal, Gas, Oil, Shale gas, Oil shale
What is geometrical structure of CH4 molecule? Why?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
Tetrahedral, Four Electron pairs repel each other
How are the matters classified? [編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
What is the difference in the formation of coal and oil/gas?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
Oil is formed primarily from the decaying bodies of billions of tiny marine (海産的) organisms.
Coal is formed primarily from dead plant remains in swampy (沼澤的) areas.
The main differences are the organic source materials and whether the sedimentation was in the sea or on land.
Why do we love fossil fuels?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
- High efficiency (High energy density)
- Easy to get
- Relatively safe
- Cheap and abundant
What are the problems of fossil fuels?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
Causing pollution
Non-renewable
Why rain is naturally acidic? How acid rain is formed?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
CO2 reacts with H2O forming H2CO3
SOX and NOX react with H2O forming H2SO4 and HNO3
What do you think of the trend of future oil price? Why?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

Ozone (O3) is good or bad gases?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
It’s good when it is far away from us, and bad when close to us
What is greenhouse effect?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
Keep temperature for longer time
Why PM2.5 is such an important air quality number to us?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
PM2.5’s small size allows them to go deep into the lungs and vessels
The ocean water is acidic or basic? What is the future trend?[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
Basic, more acidic as more and more CO2 is produced
