QuestionAnswer
Who came up with the idea of the atom? Democritus and Leucippus
What is an atom? Smallest particle of an element
What did Dalton discover in 1803? 1) all atoms in an element are the same 2) the atoms of one element are different from the atoms in all other elements
What model did JJ Thomson create? The Plum Pudding model
What is in the Plum Pudding model? a ball of positive charge (dough), with negatively charged electrons (currants) mixed in with the 'dough'.
What is in the atom? a small, positively-charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting negatively-charged electrons.
What do we call a small, negatively charged particle that orbits an atom's nucleus? Electron
Where is most of the mass of an atom found? The nucleus
What is the overall charge of the nucleus of an atom? Positive
Sub-atomic particles protons neutrons electrons
Protons Relative charge and Mass +1, 1 unit
Neutrons Relative charge and Mass 0, 1 unit
Electrons Relative charge and Mass -1, 1/2000 OR 0.0005
What sub-atomic particle is arranged at different distances from the nucleus? electrons
Who discovered the nucleus? Rutherford
What is a neutron? Sub-atomic particles found in the nucleus that have no net charge.
What is an electron? Negatively charged sub-atomic particles that orbit the nucleus.
What are Protons? Positively charged sub-atomic particles found in the nucleus.
What are electron shells? Electrons are arranged in shells around a nucleus. Each shell has a different energy level.
What happens when atoms absorb electromagnetic radiation? its electron arrangements can change.
Where is most of the atom's mass found? An atom's mass is concentrated in the atom's nucleus
What did Bohr discover? Neils Bohr discovered that electrons orbit (fly around) the nucleus at fixed distance - electron shells
Who discovered neutrons in 1932? James Chadwick discovered that some particles in the nucleus have no charge at all.
What can be emitted by atoms to change the electron arrangement in an atom? Electromagnetic Radiation
What surrounds the nucleus? Electon shells
What happened in the gold foil experiment? Most alpha particles went through, some deflected and very few bounced back
What conclusions were drawn from the alpha scattering experiment? most went through- atom mostly empty space large deflections- positively charged mass was repelling alpha particles
What happens when atoms absorb electromagnetic radiation? Electrons move to a higher energy level further away from the nucleus
What is the formula for density? ρ=m/V
What is the force that keeps an object floating? Upthurst
When does an object float? When the density of an object is lower than the density of the fluid
What is the law of displacement? an object completely submerged in a fluid (like water) will replace an amount of fluid equal to its own volume.
What are the units of density? g/cm3 OR kg/m3
What is mass? of how much matter there is in an object
What is volume? Volume is the evaluation of how much 3-dimensional space is occupied by the object.
What are the three states of matter? Solid, Liquid and Gas
Properties of Gas Gases are the least dense state of matter. The particles are free to move with negligible (tiny) forces between particles.
Properties of Solids Solids are the most dense state of matter. The particles are packed tightly together.
Properties of Liquids Liquids are less dense than solids but more dense than gases. The particles in liquids can move around each other.
What do you use to find mass? Balance
How do you find volume? a) cross section area x height b) law of displacement eureka can
What change is a change of state? Physical change
What is another term for melting point? Fusion Temperature
What happens to the mass when an object changes state? its mass is conserved (stays the same)
Are physical changes reversible? yes
Are chemical changes reversible? no
changes of state mass is ______ ___________ ________ processes conserved reverisble physical
Solids melt when: its at its melting temperature solid particles can overcome the forces between them
What is specific latent heat? The amount of energy needed to change the state of something without a change in temperature
List all the changes in state melting, boiling, sublimation, condensing, freezing, deposition
Describe the particle model of a liqud move around eachother, quicker paced compared to a solid
Describe the particle model of a solid all touching, vibrate in fixed positions
What is specific heat capacity? energy needed to increase the temperature by 1 degrees
What is density? the mass of a given volume of a substance
Formula of specific latent heat? E= mL energy(J)= M(kg) L (specific latent heat)
Formula for specific heat capacity? E= mC△T
Describe the particle model of a gas randomly arranged, speradically moving.
Distance travelled speed x time
Acceleration change in velocity/time
Kinetic energy 1/2 mass x speed^2
Force mass x acceleration
Momentum mass x velocity
work done force x distance
power work done/time
force exerted by a spring extension x spring constant
gravitational force mass x gravitational field strength
gpe mass x height x gravitational field strength
what is the gravitational field strength on earth? On Earth the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg.
charge flow current x time
potential difference current x resistance
electrical power potential difference x current OR current^2 x resistance
energy transferred power x time
wave speed frequency x wavelength
efficiency useful output energy transfer/ input energy transfer

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
