Question
Answer
Atom   Atoms are the basic building blocks of the universe. Made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.  
🗑
Matter   Anything that has mass and takes up space. All matter is made up of atoms.  
🗑
Subatomic Particles   Atoms are made of 3 smaller parts: protons, neutrons, electrons  
🗑
Proton   Protons are the subatomic particles that have a positive charge.They are found in the nucleus.  
🗑
Neutron   Neutrons are the subatomic particles that have no charge(neutral charge). They are found in the nucleus  
🗑
Electron   Electrons are the subatomic particles that have a negative charge. They are extremely small and circle around the nucleus in different energy levels. Determines whether the atom will react.  
🗑
Nucleus   The center of the atom containing the Protons and Neutrons is called the Nucleus  
🗑
Electron Shell/Energy Level   The electrons circle around the nucleus in different pathways called “shells" or "energy levels".  
🗑
Atomic Number   Tells you how many protons the atom has. Atoms must have equal number of protons and electrons.  
🗑
Atomic Mass   Tells you the average mass of the nucleus of the atom which contains both Protons and Neutrons, NOT electrons.  
🗑
2n^2 Rule   Tells you the maximum number of electrons in each energy level is the 2n2 Rule where n = the number of the energy level.  
🗑
Bonds   Two or more atoms share or transfer electrons to become stable. When electrons do this the atoms are said to be bonded together  
🗑
Octet Rule   Atoms are stable if they have 8 electrons in their outermost energy level  
🗑
Compound   The atoms in the molecule are all different (example, C02) .  
🗑
Molecule   Atoms of the same element that are bonded together form molecules .  
🗑
Chemical Reaction   Making and/or breaking bonds. When these bonds break, energy is released. Living organisms get their energy from bonds breaking in chemical reactions.  
🗑
Enzymes   Protein molecules that speed up chemical reactions. Also known as Catalysts.  
🗑
Lock and Key Model   The enzyme and substrate must fit together to work. Key (substrate) and Lock (enzyme)  
🗑
Chemical Equation   Shows the atoms or molecules that you begin with and will react  
🗑
Reactant   The atoms that undergo a chemical reaction. These are to the left of the arrow in a chemical equation  
🗑
Product   Shows what is made in the chemical reaction. These are to the right of the arrow in a chemical equation.  
🗑
Yields   The arrow in a chemical equation that separates the reactants from the products.  
🗑
Ions   Atoms with a positive or negative charge  
🗑
Acids   compounds that form H+ (hydrogen ions) in a solution. Below 7 on pH scale  
🗑
Bases   compounds that work OH- (hydroxide ions) in solution. Above 7 on pH scale  
🗑
pH Scale   A scale that goes from 0-14 that measures the strength of acids and bases  
🗑
Indicator   A substance that shows the presence or concentration of a certain substance  
🗑
Chemistry   The study of matter and how it changes.  
🗑


   

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.
