Thermal Energy
What is absolute zero?
The temperature at which no more energy can be removed from matter. -273°C
What is energy?
The ability to do work or to cause a change.
What does an Atomic Number do?
It tells you the total amount of protons in the nucleus.
The smallest particle of an element that has the chemical properties of that element is...?
An Atom.
What is a boiling point?
A process by which a substance changes from its liquid state to its gas state. The liquid is heated to a specific temperature at which bubbles of vapor form within the liquid.
What is the definition of Velocity?
A speed in a specific direction.
What section of the periodic table are the metals located on?
The left side.
An elementary particle and fundamental part of matter is a...?
Quark.
What happens when something condenses?
The water molecules become organized in a less random structure, which is less random than in vapor, and heat is released into the atmosphere as a result.
What is a form of nuclear energy?
Fission or Fusion.
Where are the metalloids located on the periodic table?
The staircase.
A very small piece of matter, such as an atom, molecule, or ion is a...?
Particle.
What is radiation?
Energy that travels across distances in the form of electromagnetic waves.
How does Potential Energy occur?
Potential Energy occurs when an object has the potential to have Kinetic Energy.
How many groups are there on the Periodic Table?
18
What are orbitals and who's theory had them in their design?
A orbital is a path of the electrons and Niels Bohr had them in his design.
How do you define Thermal Energy?
The total amount of kinetic energy of particles in an object.
What is Radiant Energy or an example of Radiant Energy?
Energy transmitted in the form of waves. Examples-radio waves, x-rays, and visible light.
How do you find the number of electrons in an element?
You look at the group number and minus 10 if the group number is 10 or higher.
What did Ernest Rutherford discover?
Atoms. They are composed of mostly empty space – the positive charge is found at the center – gold foil experiment.
