| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is matter? | Very tiny particles that are constantly in motion. |
| What are chemical forces? | the forces of attraction among particles |
| What is an element? | An element is a substance that can not be broken down. ONE type of atom. |
| On what chart can I locate ALL elements? | The Periodic Table of Elements |
| What is a compound? | A compound is 2 or more elements that are chemically combined. |
| What is the difference between a chemical symbol and a chemical formula? | A chemical symbol is one or two letters that represent an element. A chemical formula represents a compound. |
| How many atoms does a molecule of water have? | 3 total. 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. |
| How many atoms does a molecule of sugar have? | 45 in total. 12 carbon, 22 hydrogen, 11 oxygen. |
| Which direction does heat travel? | Heat travels from hot to cold. |
| Why does your hand feel cold if there is an ice cube in it? | The heat is being removed from your hand and added to the ice. |
| What are the 3 states of matter? | Solid, liquid, gas. |
| Does a solid have a definite shape and volume? | Yes = shape Yes = volume |
| Does a liquid have a definite shape and volume? | No = shape Yes = volume |
| Does a gas have a definite shape and volume? | No = shape No = volume |
| Describe the movement and attraction of the particles of a solid? | The attraction is very close and the particles vibrate. |
| Describe the movement and attraction of the particles of a liquid? | The attraction is not too close and not too far apart and the particles vibrate while moving slightly around. |
| Describe the movement and attraction of the particles of a gas? | The attraction is very far apart and the particles are vibrating and moving all around. |
| What is the phase change from a solid to a liquid called? | Melting |
| What is the phase change from a liquid to a solid called? | Freezing |
| What is the phase change from a liquid to a gas called? | Evaporating |
| What is the phase change from a gas to a liquid called? | Condensation |
| Why do things get cold? | Heat is removed. We do not add cold, we only remove heat. |
| What is a physical property or physical change? | You can use your senses to observe physical properties or changes. A phase change is a physical change. |
| Give an example of a physical property or change? | Melting, freezing, evaporating, color, density, shape, smell or odor. |
| What is a chemical property or chemical change? | When the substance has changed. |
| Give an example of a chemical property or change? | Burning, rusting, oxidizing. |
| Why does your hand feel warm when holding a hot muffin? | The muffin is warmer than your hand so the heat goes from the muffin to your hand. |
| What is kinetic energy? | Energy of motion or movement. Atoms and particles are always moving. |
| What happens to kinetic energy when heat is added? | The kinetic energy increases and the particles move faster. |
| Are we adding or removing heat energy when something goes from hot to cold? | We are removing heat energy. |
| What happens to the energy when something goes from cold to hot? | We are adding heat energy. |
