Question
Answer
matter   anything that has mass, made of atoms and molecules  
🗑
physical change of matter   caused by motion, temperature, pressure - substance stays the same  
🗑
chemical change of matter   happen on a molecular level - substance changed  
🗑
Conservation of Mass   (Lavoisier) matter is neither created or destroyed  
🗑
Conservation of Energy   (Mayer) aka First Law of Thermodynamics - energy is neither created or destroyed  
🗑
Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy   (Einstein) the total amount of mass and energy in the universe is constant  
🗑
kinetic energy   energy of moving objects; energy in use  
🗑
potential energy   stored energy; it is energy that has the potential to do work  
🗑
oxidation reduction reactions   transfer energy between molecules in the form of electrons - the molecule that loses an electron is oxidized, molecule that gains electron is reduced  
🗑
endergonic reactions   store energy within a molecule because the reactants have less free energy than the products - require energy input  
🗑
exergonic reactons   release energy, laving reactants with more free energy than the products  
🗑
heat   (amount of energy in a system) total energy in a substance - kinetic energy of molecules AND potential energy of molecules  
🗑
temperature   (measure of the average moleculation motions in system) average kinetic energy of the molecules of the substance  
🗑
conduction   materials in physical contact - energy transferred trough collisions of their particles, Kinetic Theory of Matter  
🗑
convection   movement of thermal energy from one area to another in a liquid or gas  
🗑
radiation   warm or hot matter emits electromagnetic radiation - especially infrared - that is then absorbed by an object at a distance, absorption heats the second object  
🗑
calorie/joules   1 cal = 4.186 J  
🗑
BTU   amount of energy necessary to raise temperature of 1lb water to 1 degree fahrenheit  
🗑
First Law of Thermodynamics   energy can be transferred from one sysem to another - energy cannot be created or destroyed - total amount of energy in universe is constant  
🗑
Second Law of Thermodynamics   heat cannot transfer from colder to hotter body - all natural processes that involve energy must have one direction, natural processes are irreversible, disorder/randomness of isolated system always increases with time  
🗑
atom   smallest unit of element that displays all of that elements characteristics  
🗑
protons   positively charged particles located within the atomic nucleus  
🗑
neutrons   neutral particles located within the atomic nucleus  
🗑
electrons   negatively charged particles orbiting around nucleus  
🗑
atomic number   protons in an atom  
🗑
atomoic mass   protons and neutrons combined  
🗑
first electron shell   one orbital; two electrons  
🗑
second electron shell   four orbitals; eight electrons  
🗑
third electron shell   four orbitals max; eight electrons  
🗑
fourth electron shell   max nine orbitals; eighteen electrons  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
