Protons: 19 

Neutrons: 20

Electrons: 19

Valence Electrons: 1

Can astronauts burp in space? 

No! Because the constant of gravity is different in space, the liquids, gasses, and solids in your stomach do not separate like they do on earth.

Why are noble gases unique? 

Their valence electrons have 8 electrons and do not easily bond with other elements. 

400

Describe the particles in the 3 states of matter covered in class.

Solids: particles are in a fixed, condensed position and vibrate in place 

Liquids: particles are more spread out, have higher kinetic energy than solids, and flow

Gas: particles move freely and quickly and have a lot of kinetic energy

500

Describe what happens to the particles and the temperature when ice turns to water.

particles gain kinetic energy as they absorb heat from their surroundings (endothermic reaction) and spread out more
