*WAHS TAKS Science: Earth & Elements

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

Question
Answer
Matter   states of energy on earth, including solid, liquid, and gas  
🗑
Fluids   matter that flows, takes the shape of its container  
🗑
Viscosity   a fluid’s resistance to flow; high  
🗑
Buoyancy   the ability of a fluid to exert an upward force on an object immersed in it  
🗑
Density   the mass per unit volume; depends on temperature, warmer  
🗑
Permeability   the rate of flow of a liquid or gas through a porous material  
🗑
Infiltration (water)   the process of water entering the soil  
🗑
Pressure   force exerted per unit area; related to particles and their motion; warmer means more pressure  
🗑
Mass   the amount of matter in an object  
🗑
Volume   the amount of space occupied by an object  
🗑
Polarity   the imbalance of charges in a molecule  
🗑
Ions   a charged particle with an imbalance between electrons and protons  
🗑
Base   a substance that forms hydroxide ions in a water solution; slippery, cleansers  
🗑
Acid   a substance that produces hydrogen ions in a water solution; sour, corrosive  
🗑
Acidity   how well or poorly a compound ionizes (separates into ions) when dissolved in water  
🗑
Element   pure chemical substances  
🗑
Bonding   when elements share electrons to form compounds  
🗑
Compounds   when two or more elements combine chemically  
🗑
Mixtures   material made up of two or more pure substances  
🗑
Single-Displacement Reaction   when an element or ion moves out of one compound and into another  
🗑
Ion Concentration   the number of ions present when an ionic compound dissolves in water, it dissociates, and ions form  
🗑
pH levels   the measure of hydronium ions in a solution, from 0 – 14, with 0 being highly acidic, and 14 being highly basic  
🗑
Electrolytic Behavior   compounds that break down into ions in water, and can conduct electricity  
🗑
Chemical Stability   a complete outer level of electrons (two or eight/octet)  
🗑
Valence   outer layer of electrons, determines chemical properties of an atom  
🗑
Covalence   the ability of an element to bond with other elements by sharing electrons across a bond  
🗑
Electron Configuration   the arrangement of electrons around a proton/neutron nucleus  
🗑
Periodic Table   list of chemical elements; based on patterns of atomic mass  
🗑
Periodic Table - First column   mainly soft metals that react readily with other elements  
🗑
Periodic Table - Last Column   gases that do NOT react readily with other elements  
🗑
Physical Changes   the identity of the material does not change, only the state/form does  
🗑
Chemical Changes   the identity of the material does change chemically; such as energy change, color or odor change, or released gas  
🗑
Chemical Equations   substances going into a reaction (reactants) must equal/balance substances produced by the reaction (products)  
🗑
Balanced Coefficient Ratio   the numbers written BEFORE the elements in a chemical equation; both sides need to be balanced in element quantity  
🗑
Phase Changes of Matter   solids, liquids, and gases  
🗑
Water as Universal Solvent   it dissolves more materials than most other solvents due to polarity (molecule charge imbalance)  
🗑
Reactivity   chemical reactions occurring when particle collisions take place  
🗑
Nature of Solute and Solvent   the content of molecules that determine how they dissolve  
🗑
Solubility   the amount of solute at a specific temperature and pressure  
🗑
Solute   the substance that is dissolved in another substance  
🗑
Rock Cycle Stages   the 3 phases of rock formation (Igneous, Metamorphic, Sedimentary)  
🗑
Igneous   rocks formed mainly by heat  
🗑
Metamorphic   rocks formed mainly by pressure  
🗑
Sedimentary   rocks formed mainly by deposits and erosion  
🗑


   

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.
