QuestionAnswer
What is an Atom? The smallest part of an element that maintains the properties of that element.
What is an element? A pure substance that cannot be separated or Cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. They make up the periodic table.
What is an ion?
What is a compund? Substance that is formed when 2 or more different elements chemically bond.
What is a molecule? A molecule is when two of the same elements bond.
What does a chemical formula tell you? ex. C 6 H 12 0 6 How many of each element is in the molecule.
Where would you find non-metals on the periodic table? Non-metals are found mostly on the right except for hydrogen (top left).
Where would you find metaloids on periodic table? In a minecraft sword shape on the right side
Where would you find metals on periodic table? In the middle, left, and bottom section.
What is a covalent bond? When non-metals and non-metals join together and share electrons (strong bond).
What is an ionic bond? When non-metals and metals join together and gain or lose electrons (weak wond).
What is a hydrogen bond? More of an attraction between F (Fluorine), O (Oxygen), or N (Nitrogen) in different molecules wich does not change the substance, just brings them closer together
How does water's polarity allow life to exist? Water can dissolve many substances that organisms need. Water's polarity helps it dissolve other polar substances.
What are the properties of water? Water is polar. ... Water is an excellent solvent. ... Water has high heat capacity. ... Water has high heat of vaporization. ... Water has cohesive and adhesive properties. ... Water is less dense as a solid than as a liquid.
