Biology Chapter 2.1 Terms and Conditions

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
matter   anything that has mass and takes up space  
🗑
mass   a measure of the amount of matter in an object; a fundamental property of an object that is not affected by the forces that act on the object, such as the gravititraditional force  
🗑
element   a substance that cannot be separated or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means; all atoms of an element have the same atomic number  
🗑
atom   the smallest unit of an element that maintains the chemical properties of that element  
🗑
nucleus   in physical science, an atom's central region, which is made up of protons and neutrons  
🗑
proton   a subatomic particle that has a positive charge and that is located in the nucleus of an atom; the number of protons of the nucleus is that atomic number which determines the identity of an element  
🗑
neutron   a subatomic particle that has no charge and that is located in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
atomic number   the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom; the atomic number is the same for all atoms of an element  
🗑
mass number   the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
electron   a subatomic particle that has a negative charge  
🗑
orbital   a region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons  
🗑
isotope   an atom that has the same number of protons (or the same atomic number) as other atoms of the same element do but that has a different number of neutrons (and thus a different atomic mass)  
🗑
compound   a substance made up of atoms of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds  
🗑
chemical bond   an attractive force that holds atoms or ions together  
🗑
covalent bond   a bond formed when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons  
🗑
molecule   a group of atoms that are held together by chemical forces; a molecule is the smallest unit of matter that can exist by itself and retain all of a substance's chemical properties  
🗑
ion   an atom, radical, or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons and has a negative or positive charge  
🗑
ionic bond   the attractive force between two oppositely charged ions, which form when electrons are transferred from one atom to the other  
🗑


   

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.
