Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Elements   Substance made entirely from one type of atom; 118 elements  
🗑
Atomic nucleus   Protons and neutrons bound together in the center of the atom  
🗑
Surrounds the nucleus   Electrons  
🗑
Why are atoms electrically neutral   Same # of protons as electrons (+1 cancels -1)  
🗑
Atomic #   # of protons each atom of a given element contains  
🗑
Mass #   # of protons and neutrons in the nucleus; used to describe isotapes  
🗑
Atomic Mass   # of electrons, protons and neutrons  
🗑
Atomic Mass Unit (AMU)   unit to measure the mass of an element; mass of one proton and neutron  
🗑
Isotape   All isotapes have the same # of protons, different number of neutrons  
🗑
Shell model of the atom   at least 7 shells; each shell can hold a limited number of electrons; inner holds 2; 2nd & 3rd holds 8 each; 4th and 5th holds 18 each, and 6th and 7th holds 32 each  
🗑
Valance electrons   Electrons in the outer shell; they are available to participate in chemical bonding  
🗑
Determining the valance electrons using the periodic table   groups, the columns  
🗑
Covalent bonds   sharing of electron pairs; same element oe close to each other in the periodic table; primarily between non-metals  
🗑
Ionic bonds   electrostatic force of attraction between two oppositely charged ions (cation) and the negative ion (anion); one electron donor and one electron acceptor (seesaw)  
🗑
organic compound   Molecules associated with living organisms; any compound containing a carbon atom  
🗑
inorganic compound   Non living; any compound lacking carbon atoms  
🗑
Hydrocarbon   organic compound consisting entirely of H and C  
🗑
Pure substance   consists of only one type of atom, molecule, or ion e.g. tin, water, table salt  
🗑
Mixture   collection of two or more atoms, molecules or ions that are physically mixed  
🗑
Heterogeneous mixture   contains substances that are not evenly distributed e.g. bowl of cereal, pizza  
🗑
Homogeneous mixture   substances are evenly distributed e.g. honey, air  
🗑
Solution   homogeneous mixture consisting of ions or molecules e.g. vodka, salt water, sugar water  
🗑
Solids   occupy a constant amount of space and does not readily deform  
🗑
Liquids   occupy space; form changes readily  
🗑
Gas   has neither volume nor shape; assumes shape/volume of the container  
🗑
When an arrangement melts   molecules begin to move around more and more; they spread out  
🗑
When an arrangement freezes   molecules slow down and become more compact  
🗑
Addition of heat energy; Boiling causes   molecules move/vibrate quickly; they separate and create gas  
🗑
Conductor materials   electric current can flow freely; outer electrons are loosely bound and move freely through material  
🗑
Insulators   prevent the flow of electrons; outer electrons tightly bound  
🗑
Metals   solid at room temp; has a density of 19.3 grams per milliliter e.g. gold, zinc, sodium  
🗑
Nonmetals   solid at room temp; has a density of 3.5 grams per milliliter e.g. oxygen, carbon  
🗑
Metalloids   silicon, arsenic  
🗑
Minerals   rocks and inorganic materially; naturally ocurring  
🗑
Silicates   most common mineral group; contains oxygen and silica; 95% of Earths surface crust e.g. quartz, talc, garnet  
🗑
Non-silicates   usually not rock forming minerals; no silicates e.g. calcite, dolomite, gypsum, alabaster, copper, silver, gold  
🗑
Igneous rocks   crystalline solids for directly for the cooling of magna; names represent composition and texture e.g. granite, lava, pumice  
🗑
Metamorphic rocks   "meta" (change) "morph" (form) any rock can become this; e.g. slate, schist, gneiss, marble  
🗑
Sedimentary rocks   they are secondary rock; they are the result of accumulation of small pieces broken off of pre-existing rocks e.g. conglomerate, limestone, dolomite, travertine, shale  
🗑
Seismic waves   waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion. They are the energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs.  
🗑
P-waves   primary waves; fastest kind of seismic wave, and, consequently, the first to 'arrive' at a seismic station; can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquid layers of the earth  
🗑
S-waves   secondary waves; which is the second wave you feel in an earthquake; can only move through solid rock, not through any liquid medium.  
🗑
Composition of earth   inner core, outer core, mantle, crust  
🗑
Inner core   solid iron and nickel, dense  
🗑
Outer core   liquid; mostly iron  
🗑
Mantle   thickest layer of earth, hot rock  
🗑
Crust   solid and rocky, continental and oceanic  
🗑
Happens in the outer core when the earth spins   creates a magnetic field by moving electrical current  
🗑


   

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.
