Q

How does an atom become charged?

A

If it gains electrons- it is negatively charged

If it loses electrons- it is positively charged

Q

Why are certain objects attracted to or repelled from each other?

A

This is caused by the objects’ respective charges: opposites attract; like charges repel.

Q

Why can’t protons and neutrons move from atom to atom?

A

They are tightly bound in the nucleus and they define the element of the atom.

Q

charged particles create what kind of force with other charged particles?

A

electrostatic

17
Q

neutral charges are blank by other charges.

18
Q

atoms and molecules are held together by blank.

A

electrostatic force

19
Q

What are the smallest particles that still have all the properties of an element?

20
Q

How can an object become electrically charged?

A

by friction
by conduction
by polarization/induction

21
Q

atom

A

smallest particle that still has all the properties of a certain element

22
Q

sub-atomic particle

A

makes up an atom; does not have the qualities of one particular element

23
Q

neutron

A

sub-atomic particle; neutral (no) charge; located in the nucleus of an atom; does not easily move between atoms

24
Q

electron

A

sub-atomic particle; negative charge; located in the energy cloud of an atom; easily moves from atom to atom

25
proton
sub-atomic particle; positive charge; located in the nucleus of atom; does not easily move between atoms
26
electrostatic
static electricity, or stationary electric charges, or stationary build up/lack of electrons in an object
27
nucleus
center of an atom where most of the mass (protons and neutrons) is located
28
net charge
overall (total) amount of charges, either positive, negative, or neutral (the later meaning it has no net charge)
29
conduction
when one object touches another (when discussing electrostatic matters, it means the transfer of electrons when two objects touch).
30
attraction
when two or more objects (are compelled to) move towards each other (like when opposite charges are placed next to each other)
31
repulsion
when two or more objects (are compelled to) move away from each other (like when like charges are placed next to each other)
32
element
basic substance that can't be simplified
33
melecules
two or more atoms that are chemically joined together
34
compound
atoms bonded together that contain at least tow different elements
35
periodic table of elements
a table in which the chemical elements are arranged in order
36
examples of elements
gold, silver, carbon, lead, oxygen, hydrogen
37
examples of molecules
O2 (oxygen), H2 (hydrogen), CO2 (carbon dioxide), H2O (water), N2 (nitrogen), Cl2 (chlorine), NO (Nitrogen Oxide), NO2 (Nitrogen dioxide)
38
examples of compounds
CO2 (carbon dioxide), H2O (water), NO (Nitrogen Oxide), NO2 (Nitrogen dioxide), CO2 (carbon dioxide)
