Atoms and Kinetic Molecular Theory

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

Question
Answer
atoms   smallest piece of matter that retains the properties of the element  
🗑
nucleus   very small, very dense center of the atom with a positive charge, contains protons and nuetrons  
🗑
proton   subatomic particle found in the nucleus, has a positive charge  
🗑
neutron   subatomic particle found in the nucleus, has no electrical charge (neutral)  
🗑
electron   subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus, has a negative charge  
🗑
quark   subatomic particle that makes up protons and neutrons  
🗑
atomic number   number of protons in the nucleus  
🗑
atomic mass   the average mass of an atom of an element and all its isotopes  
🗑
periods   (Rows) horizontal rows of elements- first element a very reactive solid, last element a very non-reactive gas  
🗑
families   (Columns) columns of elements who share similar characteristics  
🗑
luster   shininess, high melting point  
🗑
malleable   can be pounded into sheets- good conductors  
🗑
ductile   can be made into wires  
🗑
solid   particles vibrate in place packed tightly together  
🗑
liquid   particles are spaced apart more than solids; move moderately fast and flow around each other  
🗑
gas   particles move very fast and expand to fit the container  
🗑
plasma   state in which matter is heated to extermely high temperature and the electrons separate from atoms  
🗑
phase change   when a substance changes from one phase of matter to another due to gain or loss of heat energy  
🗑
conservation of matter   matter cannot be destroyed, it can only change forms  
🗑
physical property   any characteristic of a material such as a size or shape that you can observe without changing the identity of a material  
🗑
matter   solids, liquids, gases, or plasmas  
🗑
mass   measure of the amount of matter in an object; always constant  
🗑
weight   gravitational force on an object; changes depending on the amount of gravity  
🗑
density   the amount of mass in a certain volume; mass/volume  
🗑
melting   when a solid changes phase to a liquid due to the addition of heat energy; happens a the melting point  
🗑
freezing   when liquid changes to a solid due to a loss of heat energy; happens a the freezing point  
🗑
vaporization   when a liquid changes to a gas due to the additon of heat energy; happens at the boiling point  
🗑
sublimation   when a solid changes phases to a gas without becoming a liquid due to the addtion of heat energy  
🗑
condensation   when a gas changes to a liquid due to a loss of heat energy  
🗑


   

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.
