The only portion of the Electromagnetic Spectrum that we can see without scientific tools.
VISIBLE LIGHT
Heat moves from __________ objects to the __________ objects.
Heat moves from WARMER objects to the COLDER objects
mass per unit volume of a material
Density
TRUE or FALSE Physical properties, like density, does not depend on how much of the substance you have.
TRUE! Physical properties DOES NOT depend on how much of the substance you have – if it is the same substance it should have the same properties!
The smallest particle of an element that still retains the properties of the element
atom
Long wavelengths have _________ energy and _______ frequency.
Long wavelengths have LOW energy and LOW frequency.
Short wavelengths have HIGH energy and HIGH frequency.
Adding or removing heat can change the ____________ and/ or the _________ of the object or matter.
Adding or removing heat can change the TEMPERATURE and/or the STATE OF MATTER of the object.
substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being permanently changed itself
catalyst
A melting ice cube is an example of what type of change?
PHYSICAL CHANGE! Phase changes are physical changes- NO new matter is formed.
Electrically neutral particle inside the nucleus of an atom
Neutron
Light waves travel the fastest in a _______________.
Light waves travel the fastest in a VACUUM. (No matter present)
When heat is transferred between two objects through direct touch.
CONDUCTION
a substance in which its different components are easily distinguished
Heterogenous mixture
The smallest unit of matter is called _______. And in the nucleus are ______ and ________.
The smallest unit of matter is called an ATOM. And in the nucleus are PROTONS and NEUTRONS.
Electrons are found in the cloud or shells on the outside of the nucleus!
An outer shell electron that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond
Valence Electron
Sound waves travel the fastest in _________ and the slowest in _________ types of medium.
Sound waves travel the fastest in SOLIDS and the slowest in GASES types of medium.
Remember SOUND waves MUST have a medium to travel!
When heat is transferred between two objects when there is no matter needed.
RADIATION
In a solution, the substance being dissolved
Solute
If you go to the moon your __________ will change, but your _______ will remain the same.
If you go to the moon your WEIGHT will change, (because of the gravitational difference) but your MASS will remain the same.
Horizontal row in the periodic table and how many?
Period- 7
What is this an example of- when light changes direction when it goes through a different medium

Refraction- changing direction of light wave when it goes through a matter of different density.
This type of heat transfer can only occur in a fluid (liquid or gas). Warmer matter moves up and cooler matter sinks forming currents.
CONVECTION
a substance that produces hydroxide ions (OH-) in a water solution.
Base or Alkaline. pH is greater than 7
The periodic table is organized by the ____________ number which is also the number of __________ in the nucleus of an atom.
Ther periodic table is organized by the ATOMIC number which is also the number of PROTONS in the nucleus of an atom.
Remember GROUPS are VERTICAL COLUMNS (18) and the PERIODS are HORIZONTAL ROWS (7).
Area around the nucleus of an atom where the atom's electrons are most likely to be found
Electron Cloud
