100

This type of mixture is when the molecules are not completely mixed together.

What is heterogeneous?

100

In this type of radioactive decay, energy is released without changing the number of protons and neutrons.

What is gamma decay?

100

This law states that elements show regular and repeating properties when arranged by increasing atomic number.

What is the periodic law?

100

These are the electrons in the outermost shell of any atom.

What are valence electrons?

200

This type of bond occurs when two atoms share two pairs of electrons in a covalent bond.

What is a double bond?

200

In this type of radioactive decay, an electron is emitted.

What is beta decay?

200

This idea states that tiny particles do not absorb or release energy in a smooth flow, but in specific amounts.

What is quantum theory?

200

This is the sum of the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule.

What is molecular mass?

300

This force occurs between all molecules, whether polar or nonpolar.

What is the London force?

300

In this type of radioactive decay, an unstable atom ejects a clump of two protons and two neutrons.

What is alpha decay?

300

This idea states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.

What is the Pauli exclusion principle?

300

This type of element has a positive electron because of losing electrons.

What is a cation?

400

This is the strongest intermolecular force.

What is the hydrogen bond?

400

This is the minimum amount of fissionable material required for a chain reaction to occur.

What is the critical mass?

400

This type of force is present between all polar molecules but NOT between nonpolar molecules.

What is a dipole-dipole force?

400

This unit refers to 6.022 x 10^23 particles of a substance.

What is a mole?

500

This property describes how strongly atoms of an element pull on electrons in a chemical bond.

What is electronegativity?

500

This type of nuclear reactor produces more fuel than it consumes.

What is a breeder reactor?

500

What is the formula used to find the molality of a solution?

b = n_"solute"/m_"solvent"

500

These are the three groups that elements are divided into by physical properties.

What are metals, semimetals, and nonmetals?

600

This type of bond is typically formed between a metal and a nonmetal.

What is an ionic bond?

600

This type of formula shows only the simplest ratio of atoms in a compound.

What is the empirical formula?

600

This type of element has a negative electric charge because of gaining electrons.

What is an anion?

700

This is the suffix to the name of a simple covalent compound.
