What is the difference between Accuracy and precision? | Accuracy is how close to the a accepted value a measurement is. Precision is the repeated agreement of the data being gathered. |
What is the formula for density? | Density equals mass over volume. |
What are the standard SI units for mass, length, Temperature, time and amount? | Mass-kilogram length-meter temperature-kelvin time-per second amount-mole |
what are The metric prefixes? | kilo (1000)/ Hecto (100)/ Deca (10)/ Deci (0.1)/ Centi (0.01)/ Milli (0.001)/ Micro (0.000001 |
How do you explain absolute Zero?? | Absolute Zero is no matter motion. |
How many significant digits are in this number : 14.379 ? or 0.0478 ? | 5 / 3 |
What is a heterogeneous mixture? | A Heterogeneous Mixture is a solution that is not uniform in composition |
What is a homogeneous mixture? | A Homogeneous Mixture is a type of solution that is uniform in composition. |
What are some characteristics of a chemical change? | Rusting, decomposing (changes of composition) |
What are some characteristics of a physical changes? Lab Examples? | Freezing, melting, evaporation, and condensation (changes of state) |
What are the three different states of matter? | Solid, Liquid and Gas |
What are some Intensive properties? | Density, Color, and Flammability (independent variable) |
What are some Extensive Properties? | Volume, Melting Point, Length (dependent variable) |
What is filtration used for? | |
What is distillation used for? | Distillation is used for separating a solid from a liquid by evaporating the liquid. |
What are the diatomics? | Hydrogen, Oxygen, nitrogen, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, & Fluorine |
What is the Atomic Number based on? | the number of protons in an atom |
What is Atomic Mass comprised of? | it is comprised of both number of protons and number of neutrons |
What is an atom with a charge called? | an Ion |
What is an atom that contain the same number of protons but a different amount of neutrons? | An isotope |
What are Spectral lines a representation of? | they are representation of where wavelengths land on the visible color spectrum |
What are the different electromagnetic waves in order from smallest to largest? | Radio < Microwave < Infrared < Visible < ultraviolet < X rays < Gamma Rays |
What does Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle state? | It states that the specific path of an electron cannot be determined. However, we can use quantum mechanics to determine the probability of where the electron might be. |
What does Pauli's Exclusion Principle state? | It states that each orbital may only hold 2 electrons with opposite spins. |
