Pull of gravity on mass?
Weight
What are the 3 states of matter?
Solid, Liquid, Gas
Which state of matter has a definite shape and volume?
Solid
Which state of matter has a changeable shape; definite volume?
Liquid
Which state of matter has a changeable shape and volume?
Gas
Capacity to do work or put matter into motion?
Energy
What are the types of energy and their definitions?
Kinetic- energy in action
Potential- stored (inactive) energy
Can energy be transferred from potential to kinetic energy?
Yes
What are the forms of energy?
Chemical energy
Electrical energy
Mechanical energy
Radiant or electromagnetic energy
What form or energy is stored in bonds of chemical substances?
Chemical energy
What form or energy results from movement or charged particles?
Electrical energy
What form or energy is directly involved in moving matter?
Mechanical energy
What form or energy travels in waves (e.g. visible light, ultraviolet light, and x-rays)?
Radiant or electromagnetic energy
Can energy be converted from one form to another?
Yes
Is energy conversion efficient?
No, because some energy is “lost” as heat (partly unusable energy)
Matter is composed of?
Elements
True or False: Elements cannot be broken into simpler substances by ordinary chemical methods.
True; elements CANNOT be broken into simpler substances by ordinary chemical methods.
What are the unique properties of an element?
Physical properties and Chemical Properties
Define physical properties
Physical properties are detectable with our senses or are measurable.
Define Chemical properties
Chemical properties are how atoms interact (bond) with one another.
What are the unique building blocks for each element?
Atoms
What gives each element its physical and chemical properties?
Atoms
True or False: Atoms are the smallest particles of an element with properties of that element.
True: Atoms are the smallest particles of an element with properties of that element.
What is an atomic symbol?
One or Two letter chemical shorthand for each element often the first letter of the element’s name.
What are the 4 elements that make up 96.1% of body mass?
Carbon -C
Hydrogen -H
Oxygen -O
Nitrogen -N
What re the 9 elements that make of 3.9% of body mass?
Element: Atomic Symbol: Calcium Ca Phosphorus P Potassium K Sulfur S Sodium Na Chlorine Cl Magnesium Mg Iodine I Iron Fe
What are the trace elements (found in very minute amounts) found in the body?
Chromium Cr Copper Cu Fluorine F Manganese Mn Silicon Si Zinc Zn
What are atoms composed of?
Subatomic particles: Protons, Neutrons, Electrons
What subatomic particles are found in the nucleus?
Protons and neutrons
Which subatomic particle orbits the nucleus in the electron cloud?
Electrons
What makes of almost the entire mass of the atom?
The nucleus
Do neutrons or protons carry a charge?
Protons, which have a positive charge. Neutrons carry no charge.
What is the mass of a neutron?
Neutron mass = 1 atomic mass unit (amu)
Proton mass = 1 amu
What charge does an electron have when in orbitals within electron cloud?
Electrons carry a negative charge
What is the mass of an electron when in orbitals within electron cloud?
1/2000 (0 amu)
Are the number of protons usually equal to electrons?
Yes, they are equal in an atom of an element.
Which model of an atom is depicted with probable regions of greatest electron density (an electron cloud) and is useful for predicting chemical behavior of atoms?
The Orbital Model - current model used by chemists
Which model of an atom incorrectly depicts a simplified and fixed circular electron paths?
Planetary model -used for illustrative purposes in textbooks only and is outdated with the onset of the Orbital model.
What determines what an element IS?
The number of protons, the atomic number of an element. 47 protons will Always be Silver.
How is a mass number determined?
By adding the total number of Protons + Neutrons in the nucleus. This is the total mass of an atom.
How is the mass number depicted?
Written as superscript to left of atomic symbol
Ex. 7th power Li
The number of protons in the nucleus is the …?
Atomic number
How is the atomic number depicted?
Written as subscript to left of atomic symbol
Ex. tiny 3 below the line Li
What is a structural variation of atoms?
Isotopes
How do isotopes differ from their original element?
They differ in the number of neutrons they contain, and their atomic numbers remain the same while their mass number is different
What are heavy isotopes that decompose to more stable forms and can be detected with scanners?
Radioisotopes
What is the term for spontaneous decay?
Radioactivity
What is the atomic symbol for Carbon?
C
What is the atomic symbol for Hydrogen?
H
What is the atomic symbol for Oxygen?
O
What is the atomic symbol for Nitrogen?
N
What is the atomic symbol for Phosphorous?
P
