Q

What is photosynthesis?

A

Photosynthesis is the chemical reaction that takes place for the plant to survive . Carbon dioxide, water, and light are all needed for photosynthesis to takes place. It happens in the leaves of the plants.

Q

What is friction used for and what are 3 examples that it’s useful?

A

Friction is a resistive force that slows things down and tries to stop objects sliding past each other.

Breaks, gripping objects, tyres

17
Q

What are 3 examples of friction that aren’t useful?

A

Slipping or sliding, moving parts in machines

18
Q

What is air resistance?

A

Air resistance is a type of friction caused when objects move in the air.

19
Q

What is the other name of air resistance and water resistance?

A

Drag

20
Q

How many elements are there in a periodic table?

A

There is about 100 different elements.

21
Q

What is the units for speed, force and acceleration?

A 
Speed = m/s
Force = N (Newtons) 
Acceleration = m/s2
22
Q

What does a distance time graph show?

A

A distance time graph shows the speed of the object travelling.

23
Q

What is the line called on a distance time graph?

A

Gradient

24
Q

What are the 3 particles found in an element?

A

Protons, electrons and neutrons

25
Q

Where is the particles (protons, neutrons and electrons) found? What is their mass and their charge?

A

Protons are found in the nucleus, it’s relative mass is 1 and it has a positive charge.
A neutron is found in the nucleus, it’s relative mass is 1 and it’s charge is neutral.
An electron is found on the shell, it’s relative mass is 1/2000 and it’s charge is negative.

26
Q

What is ionic bonding?

A

Ionic bonding gives and takes electrons between a metal and a none - metal.

27
Q

What is a covalent bond?

A

A covalent bond is made when non - metal atoms share electrons with another non - metal atom.

28
Q

What is metallic bonding?

A

Metallic bonding is the bonding of 2 metals.

29
Q

What do we call the floating electrons in metallic bonding?

A

A sea of electrons

30
Q

Would it be better if there was no friction?

A

No. If there was no friction there would be no earth.
