Matter
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| atom | paricles that make up all matter. |
| atomic # | # of protons in the nucleus. |
| chemical properties | describes how one substance changes when it reacts to other substances. |
| compound | it has properties different from the two elements. |
| density | is amesure of the mass of an object divided by its volume. |
| the formula for density | D=M/V |
| electron | negitivly charged particales wich move around the nucleus of an atom |
| element | form of matter that contains one type of an atom. |
| fission | spliting of the atoms nuclei of atoms in heavy elements such as Uranium. |
| ion | an electrically charged atoms |
| isotpes | atoms of the same element but have different # of neutrons |
| mass# | equal to the protons and netrons making up its nucleus. |
| matter | anything that takes up space and has mass. |
| mixture | differnt objects mixed together but each object which retains its properties. |
| molecule | combined atoms. |
| neutron | particals in the nucleus of an atom which have a neutral charge. |
| nuclear energy | alternate energy produced from atomic reactions. |
| nuclear waste | waste produced by nuclear energy. |
| physical property | properties you can observe without chaging a substance into a new substance. |
| proton | positivly charged particales which are located in the neucleus of an atom. |
