Question | Answer |
---|---|
PERIODIC TABLE | used to classify objects |
ELECTRONS | carry a negative charge |
STATIC ELECTRICITY | buildup of charges on an object |
ATOM | smallest particle of matter |
MATTER | anything that takes up space and has mass |
PROTONS | has a positive charge |
FRICTION | when an object gains or loses electrons due to rubbing |
COMPOUND | elements combined together |
NEUTRON | carries a neutral charge |
INDUCTION | the movement of electrons to other objects without touching |
ELECTROSCOPE | instrument used to detect an electric charge |
STATIC DISCHARGE | loss of static electricity as electrons move off an object |
WHICH SUBATOMIC PARTICLES IN THE ATOM CANNOT LEAVE THE ATOM? | protons and neutrons |
THE OBJECT HAS A + CHARGE | the object has more protons than electrons |
NAME THE 5 PARTS OF AN ELECTROSCOPE | metal knob, rubber stopper, metal rod,flask, metal leaves |
CONSERVATION OF CHARGE | The law that states that charges are not created or destroyed, they are transferred |
DO LIKE CHARGES REPEL OR ATTRACT? | repel |
DO OPPOSITE CHARGES REPEL OR ATTRACT? | attract |
IS THERE A FORCE OF ATTRACTION BETWEEN PROTONS AND ELECTRONS? | yes |
A NEGATIVELY CHARGED OBJECT TOUCHES THE TOP OF AN ELECTROSCOPE. WHAT SUBATOMIC PARTICLES GET TRANSFERRED? | electrons |
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A NEGATIVELY CHARGED BALLOON IS BROUGHT NEAR STYROFOAM? | styrofoam pieces will be attracted |
CONDUCTION | the movement of electrons to other objects by touching |
