Cards

Term
What is the scientific method and all of its steps?
Definition

A set of steps used to approch a problem to concudt a repeatable experment.

 

Obeservation, questions, collect data, hypothese, experment, conclusion.

Term
What is a controlled experment? Why is it important?
Definition
The controlled experment is the part of the experment that has no changes done to it. It's important because it helps show the differnce between what's being changed.
Term
Convert the following into scientific notation: 3.1 X 10^7 or 3.1 X 10^-7
Definition

1. 31000000

2.00000031

Term
What are all the basic SI (metric) for mass, temperature, length, and volume?
Definition
Grams, Celsius, meters, and mL.
Term
Know the values amd meaning of kilo, hecto, deka, deci, centi, and milli.
Definition

Kilo thousand

Hecto hundred

Deka ten

Deci tenth

Centi hundreth

Milli thousenth

Term
Know the basic tools for measurig mass, temperature, length and volume.
Definition

Mass triple beam balance or a digital balance

Temperature thermometer

Length meter stick 

Volume graduated cylinder

 

Term
Convert the following Measurments: 2500 mm to dkm, 0.034hg to cg.
Definition
0.0025 dkm and 3400 cg
Term
What is the conversion of mass? Why is it important?
Definition
It is the principle that means that mass is converted into weight not energy. It is important because you will need to know this when converting.
Term
In the compound Al2(SO4)3 how many atoms are in it; how many Oxygen compounds?
Definition
10 atoms and 4 oxygen compounds.
Term
Tell me which of the following are physical or chemical changes; freezing point, density, rusting iron, cooking eggs, burning wood, dissolving salt, and buoyancy.
Definition

The physical changes are rusting iron, buoyancy, freezing point, burning wood, and cooking eggs.

The only chemical change is dissolving salt.

Term
What is true about the density of a substance?
Definition
If it is more dense than another one, it will stack on top of it while the substance rest on the bottom.
Term
Explain the difference of a pure substance and a mixture?
Definition
A pure substance is when it is chemically combined while a mixture is when it is physically combined.
Term
What are part of a solution?
Definition
Solute, solvent, and the solution.
Term
What are ways you can dissolve a solute faster? Give all three.
Definition

 

Increase temperature, increase surface area, and increase pressure (stir it up) 

Term
Know the history of the modern atomic theory and the location of proton, neutron, and electron.
Definition
19th century chemists learned the concept of sub-atomic particles. The proton and neutron are in the nucleus and the electron is orbiting it.
Term
Know how to find number of protons, neutrons, and electrons using the Periodic Table.
Definition
The protons and electrons will be the atomic number; the number of neutrons is the atomic weight.
Term
Be able to compare and contrast elements off the Periodic Table.
Definition
Their location on the table and the atomic weigh will determine the difference.
Term
Know the trends of the periodic table families: alkali earth metals, alkali metals, transition metals, halogens, metalliod, and noble gases.
Definition
Alkali matals and alakli earth metals are good conductors, transition metals and noble gases are nonmetals and are poor conductors, amd the halogens and metalliods are fine conductors.
Term
Why do atoms have no charge? Why do ions have a charge?
Definition
The atom has the same number of protons and electrons that cancel each other out. An ion either loses or gains electrons.
Term
Why is a mixture different from a compound?
Definition
A mixture is physically combined and a compound is chemically combined.
Term
Elements on the periodic table of elements are orginized by what two things?
Definition
They are orginized by family amd chemical property.
Term
How do elements bond?
Definition
When their valence electrons are shared.
Term
What are the two types of bonding? Explain the process and give examples.
Definition
Covalent bonds and ionic bonds are the two types of bonds that are bonded by their valence electrons.
Term
How many galaxies exist in the universe?
Definition
More than 500 billion and the number is rising.
Term
What is a light year?
Definition
Distance light travels in a year.
Term
What is the difference between inner and outer planets in our galaxy?
Definition
Inner planets move faster in velocity while outer planets move slower.
Term
How are galaxies classified?
Definition
They are grouped in 3 different catagories: spirals, elliptical, and irregular.
Term
Speed
Definition
How fast and object goes.
Term
Velocity
Definition
How fast and object goes in a certain direction.
Term
Acceleration
Definition
How fast an object is speeding up.
Term
Net Force
Definition
Force acting on an object.
Term
Balanced Forces
Definition
The object putting equal force on another object or gravity.
Term
Unbalenced Force
Definition
The object putting unequal force on an object or gravity.
Term
Friction
Definition
The force resisting solid material or fluid layers.
Term
Perihelion
Definition
When a planet is closest from the sun.
Term
Aphelion
Definition
When a planet is furthest from the sun.
Term
Revolution
Definition
When the Earth revolves around the sun once; equivilent to a year.
Term
Rotation
Definition
When the Earth spins on its axis once; equivilent to a day.
Term
Parallax
Definition
Displacement or difference in the apparent position of and object viewed.
Term
Heliocentric
Definition
When the planets revolve around the Sun.
Term
Geocentric
Definition
When the planets revolve around the Earth.
Term
