Cards

Term
Matter
Definition
Anything that has mass and takes up space.
Term
Molecule
Definition
A group of atoms that are held together by chemical forces
Term
Heterogeneous Mixture
Definition
You can see separated parts in the.
Term
Pulsar
Definition
A pulsar is a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
Term
Solution
Definition
A homogeneous mixture throughout which two or more substance are uniformly.
Term
Solid
Definition
Has a rigid structure, Has a true shape,Not able to move as easily.
Term
Atomic Number
Definition
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
Term
Electron
Definition
A subatomic particle that has a negative charge.
Term
Chemical Symbol
Definition
Any process determined by the atomic and molecular composition and structure of the substances involved.
Term
Speed
Definition
The distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred.
Term
Net Force
Definition
The overall force acting on an object.
Term
Friction
Definition
A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact.
Term
Revolution
Definition
A forcible overthrow of a government or social order for a new system.
Term
Heliocentric
Definition
Having the sun as the center.
Term
Elliptical
Definition
Rounded like an egg.
Term
Evaporation
Definition
The process of becoming a vapor.
Term
Melting Point
Definition
The temperature at which a given solid will melt.
Term
Metal
Definition
A solid material that is typically hard.
Term
What is the conservation of mass. Why is it important?
Definition

 

Mass (Matter) can neither be Created nor Destroyed.

Term
What is always true about density of a substance?
Definition
The density of a pure substance will stay constant.
Term
Explain the difference between a pure substance and a mixture.
Definition
The difference between a pure substance and a mixture is that a pure substance is made up of only one type of particle. Where a mixture is made up of more than one type of particle.
Term
Know the history up through the modern atomic theory and then tell me the location of the electron, proton and neutron.
Definition
The electrons are surrounding the nucleus. Protons neutrons  are located in nucleus of the atom.
Term
Know how to find the number of protons,neutrons and electrons off the periodic table.
Definition

protons = atomic number

electrons = atomic number

neutrons = rounded atomic mass - atomic number

Term
Why do atoms have no electric charge? Why do ions have a charge?
Definition
The negative particles (electrons) are balanced by the positive particles (protons).
Term
Why is a mixture different from a compound?
Definition
An ion is positively or negatively charged due to the amount of electrons it has compared to the amount of protons it has.
Term
What are the two types of bonding? Explain the process of each type. Give examples.
Definition
Ionic bonds and covalent bonds. An ionic bond is formed when one atom accepts. Acovalent bond is formed when atoms share valence electrons.
Term
How many galaxies exist in the universe?
Definition
170 billion galaxies in the Universe.
Term
How are galaxies classified?
Definition
Piral, barred spiral, elliptical and irregular.
Term
Know the main difference between a heliocentric and a geocentric belief.
Definition
The heliocentric model is a theory that places the Sun as the center of the universe, and the planets orbiting around it. The heliocentric model replaced geocentrism, which is the belief that the Earth is the center of the universe.
Term
Approximately how old is the universe?
Definition
In a universe that is estimated at 13.7 billion years old.
Term
What are newtons 3 laws of motion? Give an example of three.
Definition
1.An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 2.Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction..
Term
Can you have a negative slope on a graph? Tell me how.
Definition
The points are going on a downward slant.
