| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| element | made up of one type of atom examples- cabon, oxygen, nitrogen, zinc, iron |
| atom | smallest unit of matter retaining the properties of the element |
| subatomical particles | smaller then atoms |
| proton | mass 1+ charge |
| neutron | mass 1 - charge |
| electron | no mass-1 charge |
| atomic number | is the # of protons an atom contains(determines the atom) |
| How many naturaly occuring elements | 92 |
| what is atomic weight | protons plus neutrons |
| isotopes | atom of an element with a different number of neutrons(also different atomic weight) |
| uses for isotopes | power production, medicine( both diagnosis & treatment), dating fossils, sterization |
| half life | the time for one half of the isotope to "decay" |
| molecules | 2 or more atoms bonded together |
| compounds | 2 or more atoms from different elements bonded together |
| electrons | determine bonding between atoms. Atoms ant to be stable which requires the right # of electrons |
| what is stable | 2 electrons in the first shell and 8 in the outer one |
| ionic bond | forms when there is a complet transfer of one or more electrons |
| ion | a charged particle |
| covalent bond | the electrons are shared |
| hydrogen bond | involves hydrogen atoms, forms a weak bond; the reason water molecules stick together |
| acid | a substance with free hydrogen ions(H+) in it |
| base | a substance with free hydroxyl ion(OH-) in it |
| acid presipitation | rain or snow, can damage eco system. Coms from water combining with sulfur & nitrous oxidies released in burning fossil fuels |
| what is the range on Ph scale | 0 to 14 0 very acidic 14 very basic 7 neutral |
| acidic household cleaners with high acid | lemon juice, grape fruit juice, soft drinks, vinegar, beer, tomatoe juice |
| Base household cleaners with | Oven cleaner, bleach, ammonia, milk of mag |

| Carbon | C |
| Hydrogen | H |
| Nitrogen | N |
| Calcium | Ca |
| Phosphorus | P |
| Potassium | K |
| Sulfur | S |
