Frage Antworten
What is an independent variable? The variable that is chosen to be changed
What is a dependent variable? The variable that changes because of the independent variable
What is matter? What makes up everything
What is an element? A type of matter that can be used in solutions and mixtures and can't be broken down
An object can have both chemical and physical properties. Give an example of each type and describe the characteristic. A water bottle is a solid, which is a chemical property, and, say it's blue, which is a physical property
What is an atom? Tiny particles that make up everything in the universe
What do protons and neutrons have in common? They are both in the nucleus of atoms and make up the weight of the atom
What do protons and electrons have in common? They both have a positive charge
What do electrons and neutrons have in common? They have opposite charges
What did Neils Bohr, Rutherford, and Mendeleev do? They discovered things about atoms
Where are noble gasses located on the periodic table? On the very right column of the periodic table
How would you know how many valence electrons an element has? Depending on the column it is under on the periodic table.
What is the most reactive family of metals? What is the most reactive family of nonmetals? Alkali metals, Reactive nonmetals
Describe the difference between a covalent and ionic bond. Name an example of each. Ionic bonds are when an atom gives another atom one of its electrons to fill its valence shell. A covalent bond is when 2 atoms share electrons
What is the general term for substances that react in a chemical reaction? Reactants
What substance is formed after a chemical reaction? Product
Horizontal rows on the periodic table are called? Periods
Vertical columns on the periodic table are called? Families
Where are metals/nonmetals/metalloids located on the periodic table? They are located in the middle of the periodic table
What is a metalloid? An element with properties of a metal and properties of a nonmetal
What is the law of mass conservation? The mass will not change when a chemical change occurs
Name the only liquid metal at room temperature Mercury
How do you know an element's oxidation number? It is the charge of its ion
What is an oxidation number? The number of electrons an element gains or loses in an ionic bond
Why do you need to know an oxidation number? You need to know the oxidation number to find out if the ionic bond is possible with however many atoms you’ll need.
Energy is needed to _______ bonds. break
Energy is released when bonds are broken
What is the difference between an exothermic and endothermic reaction? Exothermic reactions release energy. Endothermic reactions absorb it.
How do bonds form? When atoms share or give away electrons
Why do bonds form? So atoms can be stable
What are the five general types of chemical reactions? Name each of the reactions that occur. synthesis, decomposition, combustion, single replacement, and double replacement.
What is a thermometer? Something that measures the thermal energy in something
How does a thermometer work? Mercury rises to the temperature of the thing it is measuring
What is conduction? When energy is absorbed into metal
What is a thermal conductor? Something that allows heat to be transferred
What is an example of a good conductor? A sheet of tinfoil
What is an insulator? Something that can not absorb energy
What is an example of an insulator? Wood
What is convection? When heat is transferred by movement
What is an example of convection? If water boils and creates steam
What is radiation? The energy released by waves
What is an example of radiation? The sun radiates energy by sending waves
What does it mean to be cold? About thermal energy content. When the temperature for something is very low
What does it mean to be hot? When the temperature for something is very high
Describe the transfer of thermal energy It is transferred by conduction, convection, or radiation
What is the upper limit of temperature? 142 nonillion Kelvin
What is the lower limit of temperature? (in Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin) Absolute 0
What is the phase change from a liquid to a gas? Give an example Evaporation-when rain evaporates from a puddle into a cloud
What is the phase change from a gas to a liquid? Give an example Condensation-when you boil water and the steam creates water on your microwave above the stove
What is the phase change from a solid directly to a gas? Give an example Sublimation- Dry ice
What is the phase change from a liquid to a solid? Give an example Freezing-you put an ice cube tray filled with water in a freezer, and the water turns to ice
What is the phase change from a solid to a liquid? Give an example Melting- you leave a popsicle out on a sunny day, and it melts into a liquid
Is energy needed for states of matter to change phase? Why or why not? It is needed because matter can not just change phases on it’s own, and it needs temperatures to be different for it
What is deposition? Give an example When the liquid turns to gas without going through a solid
