exam Flashcards
name the groups
1- alkali metals 2- alkaline earth metals 3-12 transition metals 17 - halogens 18 - noble gases
element
a substance composed of atoms
atom
particles that make up all material
nucleus
core of the atom
- made of protons and neutrons
protons
positively charged particle
found in the nucleus
neutron
neutrally charged atom found in the nucleus
electron
negatively charged particle found in the shells
ion
positive and negative charged atom
formed when they gain or loose electrons
isotope
atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons
atomic number
number of protons or electrons in an atom
mass number
number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
energy shell
regions surrounding the nucleus where electrons are found
valance shell
the outer most shell
group
vertical columns on the periodic table
periods
horizontal rows
cation
positively charged ion
anion
negatively charged ion
ionic
metals and non-metals
positive and negative ions
covalent bond
non metal and non metal
relative atomic mass
mass of an atom compared to a carbon 1/12th of a carbon 12 atom
nucleus
where chromosomes are found
molecules of the nucleus
all living things have slightly different versions of the same molecules in the nucleus of their cell
inheritance
the way characteristics pass from one generation to another
complete dominance
most characteristics and traits follow a dominant recessive pattern of inheritance
produce variation
meiosis and fertilisation determine which characteristics are present in each offspring
- each individual has a unique combination of chromosomes
- half from each parents
mega
M
giga
G
second
t
nano
n
scalar
magnitude only mass temp time distance energy speed
vector
magnitude and direction displacement velocity weight acceleration force momentum
distance
distance a measurement of length between 2 point
displacement
start to finish
velocity
magnitude of the rate of change and the direction eg 25m/a north
speed
only magnitude of the rate of change 25m/s
newton’s 3 laws
- law of inertia - tendency of an object to remain doing what it is doing unless acted by an unbalanced force
- f=ma the more mass the more force needed
- for every action there is a reaction equal and opposite - eg 2 bike tires the wheels creating an action reaction pair
acceleration
the rate of change of an object velocity
constant velocity
the object is not accelerating only change speed or direction if acted by an unbalanced force
graphs
speed is the slope of d/t
velocity is the slope of s/t
acceleration is the slope of v/t
prefixes
2-di 3-tri 4-quad 5-pent 6-hex 7-sept 8-oct
what does ide mean
it is the ion of the atom
the + and - on the element
+ = metal
- = non-metal
if 2 its nonmetal eg o2 or co2
pedigree symbols
square - males O = females - filled in means they have the trait - diagonal line through means dead - half coloured means carrier
pedigree
generic family tree used to track genetic conditions
Biodiversity
The genetic variation between different members of a species and helps a species survive environmental changes
Species
If two organisms are bale to mate and produce fertile offspring they belong to the same
Evolution
- the apparent change in a species over time
- genetic change in characteristics of a species over many generation results in a new species (speciation)
Adaptations
Any change that helps an organism to survive
They suit an organism to its habitat so I think gives an advantage over organisms that may not have that adaptation
Artificial selection
Involves humans deliberately choosing which organisms with the desired characteristics will be allowed to survive and breed and pass on their characteristics to the next generation
Generation
Tim between the birth of an individual and whenever that individual produces thier own offspring
Natural selection
Process when species become better adapted to their environment
Those with favourable characteristics have a survival advantage
Pass on thier traits to heart next generation
Differential reproductive success
Variations
Natural selection can only occur if there’s is a variation present in a species
So one can be favoured over the other
Mutations - evolution
In alleles can produce variation
Favourable characteristics
Genetic characteristics increases chances of survival and reproductive rates
