9th earth science chapter 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Define Element | A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances |
| What particles make up an atom | protons, neutrons, electrons |
| What charge does a proton have and where is it found | positive, found in nucleus |
| What charge does a neutron have and where is it found | no charge, found in nucelus |
| What charge does an electron have and where is it found | negative, found surrounding the nucleus |
| Define compound | when elements are more stable in a combined form |
| Define isotopes | atoms of an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons |
| When do chemical bonds form | when an atoms outer energy level doesn't have the maximum number of electrons |
| What is crystallization | the forming of minerals from the cooling of magma |
| what is precipitation | the forming of minerals from dissolved substances are left behind to form minerals after water in lakes or ponds evaporate |
| what is hypothermal | the forming of minerals from very hot mixtures of water and dissolved substances |
| Define mineral | solid, inorganic, arranged crystallization, naturally occurring, and definite chemical composition |
| How are minerals classified | composition |
| What are the classes of minerals | oxides, carbonates, sulfates, sulfides, halides, silicates, and native elements |
| What is the most common groups of minerals | silicates |
| What are the properties of minerals | cleavage, fracture, streak, color, density, hardness, luster, and distinctive properties |
| If a mineral breaks along flat or even surfaces it has what property | cleavage |
| What are some distinctive properties of minerals | Greasy feel, magnetic, fizzes with hydrochloric acid, double refraction, and rotten egg smell |
| What is Moh's scale | It measures the hardness of minerals |
| Define molecule | the smallest particle of a covalent compound that shows properties of the compound |
| Define covalent bond | when atoms share electrons |
| Define hydrothermal solutions | when minerals form from very hot mixtures and dissolved substances |
| What is the equation to find density | density = mass/volume |
| How is carbon 12 different from carbon 13 | carbon 12 has 6 neutrons, and carbon 13 has 7 neutrons |
| How does temperature result in the formation of new minerals | high temperatures breaks bonds and cooling creates new ones |
| How does pressure result in the formation of new minerals | increased pressure causes crystals to reform |
| What are carbonates | minerals with carbons and oxygen and metal |
| what are 2 examples of carbonates | calcite and dolomite |
| why is streak a helpful property to use when identifying minerals | mineral color on outside can vary but the streak remains constant |
