Document Summary

Tetrahydrogestrinone a new synthetic steroid similar to the synthetic steroids gestrinone and trenbolone. Testosterone, the main male sex hormone, and its precursor, androstenedione, are natural compounds in the cascade of steroids derived from cholesterol. Ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone >6 suggest doping. Chemists present their observations and ideas through words, labels, drawings and symbols to refer to particular events and substances. Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Solid: solids stay in a fixed position and vibrate, forces of attraction dominate. Liquid: liquid have a fixed volume, liquids can freely move around. Gas: gases occupy the volume of the container, gases can freely move around, fast motion of particles due to an increase in kinetic energy. A substance is a single, pure form of a matter. (ex. Heterogeneous mixture uneven composition throughout and the mixture has clumps. (ex. Substances can be made up of one or several different types of atoms.
