Question 2

What are the properties of Non-Metals

Answer 2

Dull
Brittle
Poor Conductors
All Three states

Question 3

What are the 3 subatomic particles?

Protons
Electrons
Neutrons

Question 4

Question 6

What is Electricity?

Answer 6

Electricity is the study of the movement of electrons.

Question 7

What charge does protons have?

Answer 7

Positive

Question 8

What charge doe an electron have?

Answer 8

Negative

Question 9

What is the definition of a neutral atom?

Answer 9

Neutral atoms have equal number of protons and electrons.

Question 10

What is static electricity?

Answer 10

Objects are made up of atoms so Static Electricity (or static charge) happens when:

Charges build up on the surface of an object until they find a way to be released or discharged

Static electricity Doesn’t Flow

Question 11

How does static happen?

Answer 11

Friction causes a transfer of electrons (Rubbing certain materials against one another)

Question 12

What is current electricity?

Answer 12

Current electricity is the flow of the electrons from one place to another on a pathway made of a conductor.

Question 13

What part of the atom can move?

Answer 13

ONLY ELECTRONS move
Protons don’t move

Electrons have a very small mass and are relatively far from the nucleus….easy to steal.

Question 14

What are is the law of electric charges?

Name 3 lawas

Answer 14

1) Positive charges are attracted to negative charges.

2) Like charges repel

3) Charged (positive or negative) objects are attracted to neutral objects
