Understand the difference between pure science and applied science. Pure science is focused on gaining knowledge for the sake of understanding, while applied science uses scientific knowledge to develop practical applications.
Identify the examples given in the problem. The options are: investigating properties of a newly discovered element, developing a new medication to treat diabetes, exploring theoretical aspects of quantum mechanics, and studying the behavior of gases under different pressures.
Consider each option: Investigating properties of a newly discovered element and exploring theoretical aspects of quantum mechanics are examples of pure science, as they focus on understanding without immediate practical application.
Studying the behavior of gases under different pressures can be either pure or applied science, depending on the context. If the study is aimed at understanding fundamental principles, it is pure science. If it is aimed at improving industrial processes, it is applied science.
Developing a new medication to treat diabetes is an example of applied science, as it uses scientific knowledge to create a practical solution to a health problem.
