a group of atoms connected by covalent bonds.

Question 20

Ion

Answer 20

electrically-charged atom whose charge results from an atom losing or gaining electrons.

Question 21

Mixture

Answer 21

a combination of substances in which the individual substances do not change or combine chemically but instead retain their own individual properties; can be gases, solids, liquids, or any combination of them.

Question 22

Heterogeneous mixture

Answer 22

a mixture which is not mixed evenly and each component retains its own properties.

Question 23

Homogeneous mixture

Answer 23

solid, liquid, or gas that contains two or more substances blended evenly throughout.

Question 24

Solution

Answer 24

a mixture which is evenly mixed throughout; also known as a homogeneous mixture.

Question 25

measurement of the mass of an object divided by its volume.

Question 26

John Dalton theory of atoms:

Answer 26

1. Every element is made of tiny, unique particles called atoms that CANNOT be subdivided.
2. Atoms of the same element are exactly alike.
3. Atoms of different elements can join to form molecules.

Question 27

Niels Bohr suggested that electrons:

Answer 27

electrons move in set paths like planets that surround the sun.

Question 28

There are energy levels in which ___________ must move through. When an electron gains energy, it moves to a _________ _________ level. When it loses energy, it moves to a ________ __________ level.

Answer 28

There are energy levels in which electrons** must move through. When an electron gains energy, it moves to a **higher energy** level. When it loses energy, it moves to a **lower energy level.
