Physics
This model of the atom contains chunky, negatively charged electrons and a thin, whispy positive charge.
What is the Plum Pudding Model of the Atom?
These are the characteristics of an element when it is isolated.
What are physical properties?
When a medium or large mass star dies, this extremely energetic explosion can result.
What is a supernova?
This posits that the Earth consists of dynamic layers and separate surface plates that move over time.
What is the Plate Tectonics Model of the Earth?
This festive fall gourd is classified as a fruit, not a vegetable.
What is a pumpkin?
This model of the atom attempts to explain atoms' ability to emit light.
What is the Bohr Model of the Atom?
Dmitri Mendeleev arranged his periodic table primarily on this basis.
What are chemical properties?
This makes up approximately 99% of our Solar System's mass.
What is the sun?
These occur mostly near coastlines and are caused by tectonic plates suddenly slipping or moving against each other.
What are earthquakes?
This famously fearsome arachnid cannot chew! It digests prey by injecting victims with enzymes that break down their tissues into a liquid.
What is a spider?
To explain the results of his gold foil experiment, Rutherford added this small, dense region to his Solar System Model of the Atom.
What is a nucleus?
In 1879, this element was discovered, supporting Mendeleev's hypothesis that the holes in the periodic table would eventually be filled in.
What is scandium?
During a supernova, all of these are produced in less than a second through random fusions.
What are elements?
This layer of the Earth is a slowly flowing liquidy-solid that contains convection currents and is made up of mostly silicate compounds.
What is the mantle?
This astronomical colloquialism refers to a type of galaxy merger where a larger galaxy strips material from or completely consumes a smaller one.
What is "galactic cannibalism"?
The Bohr Model of the Atom was incapable of predicting the atomic spectra of all the elements except this one.
What is hydrogen?
This would be the resulting entity if a neon atom lost three protons.
What is nitrogen?
This high density ball of carbon occurs when a low mass star dies and is about the size of the Earth but with the mass of the sun.
What is a white dwarf?
This geological phenomenon retains a record of past magnetic pole reversals.
What is sea-floor spreading?
This psychological term refers to an intense and irrational fear of ghosts.
What is phasmaphobia?
In the Quantum Mechanical Probability Density Model of the Atom, the electrons exist and operate within this region.
What is the electron cloud?
These are the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom of cobalt.
What are P=27, N=32, and E=27?
This is the point at which the force of gravity is equal to the speed of light (the point at which light can no longer escape the force of gravity).
What is an event horizon?
These seismic waves are unable to travel through liquid substances.
What are S. waves (secondary waves)?
This pathogenic fungus hijacks the brains of ants, causing them to seek out perfect conditions for fungal growth before blasting out of the ants' heads and consuming their bodies.
What is Ophiocordyceps (zombie-ant fungus)?
