Scientists have discovered a new virus that is very different from any known viruses. what type of matter is the virus most likely made of? combination of protons of some atoms that have not been discovered so far combination of protons of different atoms that exist in the periodic table compounds made from elements that are not in the periodic table compounds made by bonding of atoms of known elements

Compounds made by bonding of atoms of known elements

Explanation:

Viruses are microorganism which replicates inside the living cell of an organisms.They are made up proteins and nucleic acids which are mainly composed of amino acids. And amino acids are the compounds made up of carbon, nitrogen , oxygen and sulfur atoms.

Since, the new virus discovered by scientist must be having different arrangement or different types of proteins and nucleic acid(s) bonded together. From which we can ultimately say that matter composing the newly discovered virus are the compounds made by bonding of atoms of known elements.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
