Periodic Table
This information is described by the atomic number of an atom
What is the number of protons?
This state of matter can be described as having a definite volume and shape?
What is a solid?
A mixture that is not uniform and has distinct parts that are visible
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
A substance with an ordered geometric arrangement is described using this word
What is a crystal?
Minerals are broken up into these three groups
What are oxides, silicates, and carbonates?
This information is described by the mass number of an atom
What is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?
This state of matter can be described as having no definite shape or volume
What is a gas?
This type of mixture is described as uniform without distinct parts
What is a homogenous mixture?
This type of crystal can be described as having three equal sides and right angles.
What is a cubic system?
This test is used to describe the appearance of an object with respect to how it reflects light
What is luster?
If an element has an atomic number of 17, how many protons and electrons does the element have?
It has 17 protons and 17 electrons
This causes matter to change from one state of matter to another
What is thermal energy?
This element's identity is described by its chemical symbol "Na"
What is sodium?
This type of crystal can be described as having 2 equal sides,1 unequal, and all right angles
What is a tetragonal system?
Give an example of each type of mineral group and describe what unique elements or compound are generally found in each
What is feldspar, quartz (silicates), hematite, magnetite (oxides), dolomite, calcite (carbonates)?
Which particle(s) of the atom are responsible for chemical bonding in atoms?
The electron
This kind of chemical bond can be described by two atoms sharing electrons between each other
What is a covalent bond?
What is the number of carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms, and oxygen atoms described by the chemical formula C6H12O6
6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 6 oxygen
This type of crystal can be described as having no equal sides and right angles
What is an orthorhombic system?
Mineral that contains a valuable substance that can be mined at a profit; natural resource that may be associated with igneous rocks or formed by processes at Earth's surface.
What is an ore?
If an element has a mass number of 56 and an atomic number of 26, what is the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom of this element?
This kind of chemical bond can be described as an attraction between atoms through charges because of a gain or loss of electrons
What is an ionic bond?
What is the difference between an element, compound, and a mixture?
An element cannot be divided up any further by chemical or physical means, whereas a compound is where two or more elements are chemically bonded together with unique properties and can be divided further. A mixture in contrast to either of the first two are simply a physical combination of substances (which may be elements, compounds, or both put together without chemical reactions occurring).
This type of crystal can be described as having no equal sides and no right angles
What is a triclinic system?
A mineral
What is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and crystalline structure called?
