Science formative review Flashcards
Mass is attracted to Mass
Gravity
which element was first found on earth?
Hydrogen
Identify the force that attracts protons and neutrons together
strong nuclear force
An attraction between hydrogen atoms. Causes nuclear fusion between hydrogen atoms, it is the reason the sun burns.
Weak force
The force between the protons and neutrons of the nucleus of atoms. It holds the nucleus together.
Strong force
Describe what happens to light waves as they move towards you.
As light waves move towards you, they compress and shift to shorter wavelengths, making the light appear bluer.
Protons and electrons are evened out
Atomic number
Smaller number on a periodic table element
Atomic number (Z)
Weak force
An attraction between hydrogen atoms. Causes nuclear fusion between hydrogen atoms, it is the reason the sun burns.
Describe the big bang
- explains how the universe began about 13.8 billion years ago
- started as a tiny, incredibly hot and dense point
- suddenly expanded
- not a regular explosion
- space got stretched
- the universe cooled down
- formed basic particles
- later combined into atoms
- these atoms clumped together because of gravity and formed stars, galaxies and planets
- the universe is still expanding
Strong force
The force between the protons and neutrons of the nucleus of atoms. It holds the nucleus together.
heat energy
Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases.
How do you find neutrons on a periodic table element?
Neutrons = mass - atomic
Chemical Potential Energy
energy that can be released through a chemical reaction
Electromagnetism
Attraction between charged particles (e.g.protons & electrons). It is the force that holds atoms together.
