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

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.
