Q

what is the Bohr-Rutherford diagram?

A

protons and electrons are equal (have the same number)

the atomic number becomes the protons and the electrons

atomic weight minus (subtraction) atomic number becomes the neutrons

Q

what are isotopes?

A

all atoms of the same element have the same amount of protons

all atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons which changes the mass but does not change the charge

example:
carbon-12
6 protons
6 neutrons

carbon-13
6 protons
7 neutrons

carbon-14
6 protons
8 neutrons

20
Q

alkaline metals

A

group1, 1 valence electron, shiny, soft, highly reactive

21
Q

alkaline earth metals

A

group2, 2 valence electrons, shiny and silvery, not soft or reactive

22
Q

transition metals

A

good conductors, solid/liquid, high melting point, high boiling point

23
Q

halogens

A

group17, 7 valence electrons, very reactive, solid/liquid/gas, at room temperature

24
Q

noble gases

A

group18, 8 valence electrons, stable, unreactive gas, colorless, tasteless, odorless, non-toxic

25
Q

what is charging by friction?

A

when 2 objects are neutral and rub together. one object accepts the electrons and one object gives up their electrons.

26
Q

what is charging by conduction (contact)?

A

when 2 objects have a different charge and make contact. electrons always move from the more negative object to the less negative object, until they have the same net charge.

27
Q

what are conductors?

A

materials that allow electrons to move freely on or through them. ex: metals

28
Q

what are insulators?

A

materials that hold onto their electrons, electrons don’t move and they can build a static charge. ex: non-metals

29
Q

what is grounding?

A

objects with an excess electric charge (+ or -) remove their charge by transferring electrons between to a large neutral object.

30
Q

what are lightning rods?

A

metal pole that is attached to a wire that runs into the ground

31
Q

what is the Big Bang theory?

A

the theory that all of the matter and energy in the universe expanded from a single point.

32
Q

how are stars formed?

A

gravity pulls nebulas together and when pressure is high enough elements fuse together creating a star

33
Q

what was the first star formed from?

A

the first star was formed from a nebula (cloud of gas and dust) of hydrogen atoms that clumped together

34
Q

for stars what colors mean hot and cold?

A

RED is COOL
BLUE is HOT

35
Q

for stars what does size mean?

A

SMALL is PLANET SIZE
LARGE is SUN SIZE

36
Q

what is the pathway for low-mass stars?

A

nebula - protostar - red dwarf - white dwarf

37
Q

what is the pathway for medium-mass stars?

A

nebula - protostar - red giant - planetary nebula - white dwarf - black dwarf

38
Q

what is the pathway for large-mass stars?

A

nebula - protostar - red supergiant - supernova - neutron star - black hole

39
Q

how was the solar system formed?

A

Our solar system formed from a nebula of dust and gas that began to contract from gravity.

40
Q

what is the carbon cycle?

A

Carbon is recycled in the carbon cycle through
photosynthesis and respiration.

stages:
1. carbon moves in the form of CO2, from the atmosphere to plants on the land and in the ocean
2. carbon moves from plants to animals
3. carbon moves from animals to the ground
4. carbon returns to the atmosphere

41
Q

why is nitrogen important?

A

nitrogen is necessary for protein and DNA formations in organisms

42
Q

what are the stages of the nitrogen cycle?

A

the process that describes how nitrogen enters and leaves the atmosphere through a complex pathway that involves many different types of bacteria.

stages:
1. nitrogen enters the soil from the atmosphere
2. nitrogen moves up the food chain
3. nitrogen is excreted and enters back into the ground
4. nitrogen enters back into the atmosphere

43
Q

how do humans impact the nitrogen cycle?

A

humans add nitrogen to the soil as fertilizers to help plants grow

44
Q

law of electric charge: what do opposites do?

A

attract

45
Q

law of electric charge: what happens if they like each other?

A

repel
