The Periodic Table
What everything thing on earth is made of--the different "ingredients" of the universe.
What are elements?
The definition of matter.
What is all the physical things in the universe; anything that has mass and takes up space.
What an atom is composed of.
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?
The type of bonding where electrons are given up or taken to create oppositely charged particles which attract each other.
What is ionic bonding?
When the oxygen atom has a stronger attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atoms in a water molecule and the electrons are spending more time in one area of the molecule.
What is polarity?
The reason copper can't be melted down into other parts.
What is that it's an element?
The three most common states of matter.
What are solid, liquid, and gas.
The charge on a proton.
What is positive?
The motto electrons in the outer shell live by. The ideal number of electrons.
What is "8 is great."
The reason alcohol evaporates quicker than water.
This man if the father of the periodic table.
Who is Dmitri Mendeleev?
The state of matter where molecules vibrate but are able to move past one another, have a definite volume, but not a definite shape.
What is a liquid?
The name for the outer shell or ring of electrons.
What are valence electrons.
These do not bond due to their filled outer electron shells.
What are noble gases?
Why sugar doesn't dissolve in mineral oil.
What is oil is carbon bonded to hydrogen which is not polar so the polar sugar molecule is not attracted to the oil molecules?
The order of the elements on the periodic is based on this characteristic of atoms.
What is the atomic number?
This changing state of matter is responsible for the liquid on the inside of your car window on a cold winter day.
What is condensation?
Most hydrogen atoms don't have this common part of an atom.
What are neutrons?
The reason covalent bonding happens. There is an attraction between these two parts of the atom.
What is what happens when the electrons from one atom are attracted to the protons from another.
When it takes more energy for water to dissolve, or break apart, the solute than is released, this is the type of dissolving.
What is endothermic dissolving?
Atoms in a group (the columns going up and down) of the periodic table have the same number of these.
What are valence electrons?
When matter changes directly from a gas to a solid.
What is deposition?
The names of the four electron cloud orbitals in an atom.
What are s, p, d, and f?
How it's possible for 2 oxygen atoms to bond together to form O2 even though there are only 6 outer electrons in each atom.
What is a double bond?
The scientific reason soda becomes flat if left without the lid too long.
What is that CO2, a gas, can dissolve in water, but the attraction between the polar water and slightly polar CO2 molecule is slight, so CO2 comes out of the solution rather easily.
