        Help!  

Question
Answer
A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place   Wave  
🗑
This is needed to transmit ocean waves and sound waves, but not necessary to transmit light   Medium  
🗑
A wave that can carry energy through matter or empty space.   Electromagnetic wave  
🗑
The entire range of electromagnetic waves, which includes RADIO waves, MICROWAVES, INFRARED, VISIBLE LIGHT, ULTRAVIOLET, X-RAYS, GAMMA RAYS AND COSMIC RAYS   Electromagnetic spectrum  
🗑
A mechanical wave caused by earthquakes that travels through the earth   Seismic wave  
🗑
This type of force will cause an object to change speed and/or direction   Unbalanced force  
🗑
The number of protons in its nucleus determines this   Atomic Number  
🗑
The number of protons PLUS the number of neutrons in the nucleus determine this   Atomic Mass  
🗑
This type of atom has an EQUAL number of protons and electrons   A neutral atom  
🗑
Protons have this type of charge   Positive (+)  
🗑
Neutrons have this type of charge   None .. Neutral  
🗑
These two parts of an atom are found in the NUCLEUS   Protons (+) and Neutrons (neutral)  
🗑
Electrons have this type of charge   Negative (-)  
🗑
Where are electrons found?   Outside the nucleus in the electron cloud  
🗑
The process when one or more substances change chemically to produce one or more different sustances   Chemical reaction (or chemical change)  
🗑
The shorthand description that uses chemical formulas to describe a chemical reaction   Chemical equation  
🗑
The starting substance(s) in a chemical reaction   Reactants  
🗑
The new substance(s) that are formed in a chemical reaction   Products  
🗑
A change that affects the size, shape, phase or color of a substance, but does not affect its composition. The SAME substance(s) remain and no new substance is formed   Physical Change  
🗑
Substances that transfer heat easily   Conductors  
🗑
Substances that do NOT transfer heat easily   Insulators  
🗑
The basic building blocks of matter, and are made of only one type of atom.   Elements  
🗑
How many known elements are there?   Approximately 120  
🗑
Two or more elements combined   Compound  
🗑
This is an arrangement of elements according to their atomic numbers   Periodic Table  
🗑
Elements in the same ???? or column have similar properties   Group  
🗑
Elements that have a shiny luster, are malleable and ductile, and conduct heat and electricity   Metals  
🗑
Elements that have a dull luster, are brittle and are poor conductors of heat and electricity.   Nonmetals  
🗑
Elements that have properties of metals AND nonmetals   Metalloids  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
