What type of charge does a proton have
positive
What are the two main types of energy
kinetic and potential
Given a solid and a gas...in which are particles farther apart and in which are they closer together?
solid- closer
gas- farther

How many valence electrons does calcium have
What is an example of radiant energy?
the sun
What type of charge does an electron have
negative
A globe sitting high on a shelf has what type of energy?
(gravitational) potential
What happens to particles when thermal energy (heat) is added?
they move around faster
How many neutrons are in the sulfur cell? (use 32 as the atomic mass)
32 - 16 = 16
If the atomic mass is 25 and the atomic number is 12 what is the number of neutrons
25 - 12 = 13
What type of charge does a proton have
no/neutral
When you rub your hands together what kindS of energy is being used? (list at least 2)
sound, thermal, mechanical, kinetic
Why is thermal energy considered kinetic energy
particles are vibrating and moving
A wind up toy was wound up but not yet released...what kind of energy is that
mechanical potential
What does the law of conservation of energy say
energy can never be created or destroyed...it just changes forms
where can you find valence electrons
outermost shell of an atom
pulling back on a rubber band or bow and arrow have what type of energy
elastic (potential)
how does energy travel through air to reach an object
particles vibrate back and forth and bump into other particles
Where is an atoms mass located
nucleus
What subatomic particle (parts of an atom) determines the identity of an element?
protons
What information does the atomic number tell you
number of protons and electrons
an unused glow stick, a battery disconnected, and a slice of pizza all have what kind of energy
stored chemical potential
What happens to a glow stick when you put it in hot water vs cold water and WHY
When you turn on a light switch electrical energy turns into what two other forms
light and thermal
What determines how many valence electrons an atom has
where it's located on the periodic table
