Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the main si base units? | length (m), mass (kg), time (second), temp (kelvin) |
define matter | anything that takes up space , and has mass |
define mass | measure of the amount of matter |
define atom | smallest unit of an element that has all the properties of that element |
define element | pure substance made of 1 atom |
define compound | made of 2 or more elements that are chemically bonded |
define physical properties | quality of substance that can be measured without changing substance |
define physical change | change that does not change the substance |
define chemical properties | substance ability to go through changes that make it another substance |
define chemical change | changes that make it another substance |
What are the 2 subgroups of mattter | Mixture (blend of 2 or more kinds of matter) and Pure substance (have a fixed composition and cant be separated by physical means) |
What are the 2 subgroups of mixtures | homogenous (uniform solution) and heterogeneous (non uniform) |
what was the cathode ray tube experiment? what did it prove | rays produced were deflected from negative plate, proved atoms must have negatively charged particles and therefore + charged particles |
What was the gold foil experiment, what did it prove | shot alpha particles at gold foil, some bounced back, proved there was a dense nucleus with electron cloud around it |
What was the plum pudding model | early english model of what atom looked like which has evenly distributed + and - particles |
What are isotopes | identical atoms with different number of neutrons so different mass numbers |
define ions | atoms wtih different number electrons than protons |
what is the average atomic mass? | an average of the masses of all the isotopes |
what 3 things help hold a nucleus together? | strong forces, electromagnetic repulsion, proton to neutron ratio |
what does strong force do? | holds protons + neutrons together |
what is the most stable neutron to proton ratio | 1:1 |
define nuclear decay | when a radioactive atoms continues to change until it becomes stable |
beta particles are also known as | high speed electrons |
know the symbols of each emission | |
define nuclear fission | nucleus splits into nuclei to become more stable |
define nuclear fusion | nuclei combine to become more stable |
define half life | time it it will take half a sample of any given element to decay |
know half life equations |
