what is matter?

Anything that has mass and takes up space.

100

A element is?

A pure substance consisting only of a certain type of atom.

100

Chemical bonds form by interactions of the atom’s…

Electrons.

100

Water is necessary for life.  Water helps…

  1. Regulate temperature

  2. Allows for transport of nutrients and minerals

  3. Is used as a habitat by many living things

100

When water molecules stick to other substances.

Adhesion.

200

Matter can be 

Liquid, solid, and gas

200

Elements cannot be broken down.

True

200

Energy is stored in…

Chemical bonds.

200

What type of molecule is water?

A polar molecule.

200

Examples of cohesion.

Surface tension (skater bugs on water), drops on a penny

300

A atom is? 

The smallest unit of matter that retains all the properties of an element.

300

What 4 elements make up over 96% of living things?

C (carbon), H (hydrogen), O (oxygen), N (nitrogen).

300

Living things obtain energy by…

Breaking apart chemical bonds.

300

What is held together by…

Polar covalent bonds.

300

Examples of adhesion.

Water moving up paper (paper chromatography), water stick to the sides of a graduated cylinder (meniscus).

400

Atoms are made of? 

Subatomic particles - protons (+), neutrons (neutral), electrons (-).

400

What’s the difference between a compound and a molecule?

Molecules form when atoms join together by chemical bonds (O2, H2O).  Compounds form when two DIFFERENT elements join together by a chemical bond (H2O).

400

More bonds

More energy!

400

What gives water it’s properties?

Hydrogen bonds between water molecules.  Hydrogen bonds are very strong.

400

Solvent

A molecule able to dissolve other substances.

500

Atoms are bound together by…

Chemical bonds.

500

Chemical bonds form by interactions of the atom’s…

Electrons.

500

Put in order from least to most energy… polysaccharide, disaccharide, monosaccharide.

  1. Monosaccharide

  2. Disaccharide

  3. Polysaccharide

500

When water molecules stick to each other.

Cohesion.

500

Difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic.

Hydrophilic substances easily dissolve in water (sugar, salt).  Hydrophobic substances do not dissolve in water (oil, fats).
