Scanlan P.S. Review

QuestionAnswer
What is kinetic energy? The energy of motion including particle motion
How does kinetic (energy) theory explain the movement of particles of solids, liquids and gasses? Particles are always in motion, the higher the temperature of the substance, the faster the particles move
Which particles move the fastest, solid liquid or gas? Particles in gasses move the fastest of the three common states of matter.
Density is the measure of? The ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of a substance.
The formula used to calculate density is? Density = Mass/Volume or D=M/V
If two immiscible liquids of different densities are mixed, which will settle on the bottom? The more dense liquid
The upward force exerted on an object immersed in or floating in a fluid is called? Buoyancy
What is pH? Hydronium ion concentration
What is the process called by which nuclei are split, releasing large amounts of energy? Fission
What is the process called by which nuclei are combined, releasing large amounts of energy? This happens in the sun. Fusion
What is the name of the group of atoms, elements or compounds that go into a chemical reaction. Reactants
What is the name of the group of atoms, elements or compounds that result from a chemical reaction. Products
When energy (sometimes as heat) is transferred from the reactants to the surroundings (given off), the reaction is said to be? Exothermic
When energy (sometimes as heat) is transferred from the surroundings to the products (taken in), the reaction is said to be? Endothermic
Velocity is said to be speed with? Direction
The change in the location of an object, regardless of speed is called? Displacement
In radioactive materials these are unstable? Nuclei or nucleus
When a solution of an acid reacts with a solution of a base, hydroniumions react with hydroxide ions to form? Water and salt
The process of a liquid becoming a gas is called? Evaporation
The process of a liquid becoming a solid is called? Freezing
The process of a solid becoming a gas is called? Sublimation
The process of a solid becoming a liquid is called? Melting
The process of a gas becoming a liquid is called? Condensation
When atoms are rearranged due to some kind of chemical change, what has taken place? Chemical reaction
When nuclei get too big they become? Unstable
The process of nuclear change in an atom of radioactive material is called? Nuclear decay
In a balanced chemical reaction, the total mass of the products always equals the total mass of the? Reactants
Unlike liquid and gas, a solid is not considered to be? Fluid
Gaining or losing electrons is called? Ionization
The change in distance divided by time is called? Speed or velocity
The change in velocity divided by time is called? Acceleration
Any factor in an experiment that can change is referred to as a? Variable
Half-life is considered to be? The time required for half a sample of radioactive nuclei to decay
When a chemical reaction is taking place you often can recognize a ____ with your nose? Smell
When viewing a distance-time graph, which variable is the dependent variable? Distance is always dependent on the time that has elapsed.

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.
