Atoms
Everything is made of ageless atoms that have been recycled through various forms throughout time.
Molecules
can be defined as simple or complex and consist of a combination of 2 or more atoms
Substance
material that has a definite and constant composition
Element
a substance made of atoms with the same atomic # and chemical properties.
A element/substance cannot be broken down into simpler substances by _______ means.
chemical
Give an example of a solid, liquid, and gas that constitute a single element.
solid: gold
liquid: mercury
gas: neon
Compound
2 or more different elements chemically bonded in a set proportion by mass
Mixtures
substances that mix together without combining chemically
What is the most common mixture?
air where N , O2 , CO2, etc are mixed
Energy
ability to do work
What is the SI units for energy?
joules (J)
What are the 2 main types of energy?
mechanical and chemical
What are the types of mechanical energy?
kinetic and potential
Kinetic Energy
the energy of motion that gives reason for every moving body to do work
Potential Energy
Stored energy of a fixed position
Chemical Energy
refers to the energy released during a chemical reaction
What are the types of chemical energy?
heat (thermal energy)
electrical
nuclear
electromagnetic
Heat Energy
(thermal energy)
involves atoms and molecules where the atoms get heated
Electrical Energy
made from the movement of electrons charges
Nuclear Energy
stored in the nucleus of each atom and holds the particles in a tight bond
Electromagnetic Energy
energy that comes from electric and magnetic disturbances in space.
What is an example of electromagnetic energy?
x-rays
Law of Conservation of Mass (name 3 facts)
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Energy can be transformed
Energy in the universe is constant
Bohr Model

What are the fundamental particles that make up the atom?
electron , proton , and neutron
What are the names for the valance electron shells?
K L M N O P Q
What is the formula used to determine the max number of electrons per shell?
K = 2(1)^2 L= 2(2)^2 M=2(3)^2 O=2(4)^2 P=2(5)^2 Q=2(6)^2
