What are the three components of the atom?

electrons, protons, neutrons

100

This is called the "good" ozone.

stratospheric ozone

100

He believed all matter was made up of four elements-- earth, air, fire, water

Aristotle

100

What is the first step of the scientific method?

Observation.

100

TRUE or FALSE. Nuclear reactions use electrons.

False

200

The nucleus is made of what components?

protons and neutrons

200

These are the two types of natural resources.

renewable and nonrenewable resources

200

He came up with the atomic theory

John Dalton

200

If your conclusion is that your data did not support your hypothesis what should you do?

Revisit your hypothesis, change it and test again.

200

TRUE or FALSE. Nuclear reactions create a large amount of energy

TRUE

300

Is most of the mass of an atom located in the nucleus or outside the nucleus?

Inside the nucleus. There are neutrons and protons. Outside only has electrons

300

These are used to produce electricity and energy.

nuclear power plants

300

This man discovered the electron

Thomson

300

TRUE or FALSE. Anyone can use the scientific method.

TRUE

300

In this reaction, one substance is converted into another, but atoms never change identity

Chemical reactions

400

This element has one valence electron to share

Hydrogen

400

List two health concerns of "bad" ozone or smog.

Respiratory irritant: coughing, throat irritation, difficulty breathing

400

He discovered protons and the nucleus

Rutherford

400

What do you do after your research has supported your hypothesis?

conclude and then share your research with others!

400

In this reaction, rates are influenced by temperature, concentration, and catalyst.

Chemical reactions

500

An atom or molecule with a net electric charge (+) or (-)

Ion

500

TRUE or FALSE. Ecological footprint measures the CO2 emitted by nature

FALSE. It measures the renewable and nonrenewable resources used.

500

He suggested that electrons are in energy levels in atoms.

Bohr

500

What is the proper way to write a formal hypothesis?

If then statements

500

In this reaction, rates depend on the concentration of the element.
