Science Flashcards
Electrons orbit the nucleus in levels called
Shells
Outermost shell that is involved in chemical reactions
Valence
Same element with differing neutrons
Isotope
Same element differing electrons
Ions
Covalent bonds the atoms share
Electrons
Two ions with opposite charges bind together in an
Ionic bond
Uniformly distributed mixture
Homogenous mixture
Solvent
Water /liquid being dissolved in
The material being dissolved
Solute
Maximum saturdation no more solute can disolve
Saturated solution
Starting substances of a chemical reaction are called
Reagents is reactants
Two compounds combine to form single product in
Synthesized reaction
C + O2 = co2
Reaction occurs when oxygen is in the pretense of heat. Usually an organic compound.
Combustion reaction.
CH4 + 2O2 = co2 + 2h2o
When an element loses electrons it’s is
Oxidized
Which type of chemical reaction takes place when kerosene reacts with oxygen
Combustion
Acids produce
Hydrogen
Bases produce
Hydroxide
Have quantity but no direction
Scalars was
Eg distance
Speed
Has both quantity and direction
Vectors
Eg disolacement
Velocity
Acceleration
Different forces
Gravity Tension Friction Normal force Buyoant.
The energy stored in a book placed on a table is ——— and is derived from earth gravity
Gravitational potential energy
Electric potential energy is
Derived from interaction between positive and negative charges
Does not need a medium to transfer energy
Radiation
Energy transfer when two substances touch or pan to stove
Conduction
Transfers energy through circular movement of air or liquids
Convection
Waves that travel through a medium like ripples on a pond or compressions in a slinky are called
Mechanical waves
Waves that vibrate up and down
Transverse
Waves that travel through compression
Longitudinal waves
A waves highest point and lowest point
Crest and trough
Distance between the midline and the crest
Amplitude
Distance between crest
Wavelength
Number of cycles a wave goes through in a specific period of time
Frequency
Special type of longitudinal wave created by vibrations
Sound
Loudness depends on
Amplitude or height if crest
Created by a difference in the balance of protons and electrons
Electric charge
Materials that attract electrons well
Conductors
Doesn’t conduct electricity well
Insulator
Closed loop through which electricity moves
Circuit
Current is measured in
Amps
Which metal conducts electricity
Iron
Earth lines up between the moon and the sun
Lunar eclipse
Mineral is a
Naturally occurring, solid, inorganic substance with crystalline structure
Is naturally occurring but can be organic or inorganic and composed of numerous minerals
Rock
Rock formed by tectonic pressures that bring magma to the surface
Igneous
