Why does it matter?
100
Where are the electrons found in an atom?
In electron shells/clouds/rings on the outside of the nucleus.
100

How are elements arranged in the periodic table?

The elements are arrange in order of atomic number or number of protons.

100

What is the difference between a chemical and a physical change?

A physical change can be reversed and a chemical change cannot be reversed easily.

100
What is the simplest unit of matter?
An atom
100

Matter exists in these 3 states.

What are solids, liquids, gases (bonus: plasma)

200

What are the three subatomic particle (small particles) that make up an atom?

Protons and Neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom and the electrons are found outside the nucleus.

200
What is the difference between a group and a period?
Groups form vertical columns and periods are horizontal rows.
200
What are three signs of a chemical change?
Color change, Formation of a gas, Temperature change, and Formation of a precipitate
200

A pure substance that is made of only one kind of atom.

What is an element.

200

A bowl of chocolate M&M's is an example of what type of mixture?

Heterogeneous Mixture

300

What is the charge of an electron?

Negative charge.

300
What is the most reactive group of nonmetals?
The Halogens
300

Digesting food turns the food we eat into substances needed for life processes is this type of change.

What is a chemical change

300

An element that conducts heat and electricity well.

What is a metal.

300

Two different ways that matter can change.

What is physical and chemical change.

400
What subatomic particle do we use to identify an atom?
Protons
400

The substance formed from the atoms of two or more elements.

What is a compound

400

A logger cutting down a tree is this type of change.

What is a physical change

400

All atoms of the same element have this in common.

What are protons.

400
What term best describes the change in temperature during a chemical reaction that causes the products to become cold?
Endothermic Reaction
500

How many neutrons does an oxygen atom?

Round the atomic mass which is 16 and subtract the proton number which is 8 (the atomic number).

Neutrons = Atomic Mass - # of protons

Neutrons = 16-8 = 8 neutrons

500
List the following elements in order of their reactivity. Start with the most reactive and move to the least reactive. Ca , C, Br, K, He
K, Ca, Br, C, He
500
Do physical changes produce compounds or mixtures?
Mixture
500

The element with the symbol Fe.

What is Iron.
