Nature of Science
Observing and asking questions, inferring and hypothesizing, designing controlled experiments, collecting data, and analyzing conclusions
What is The Scientific Method?
made up of the same particles called atoms
What is an Element?
atoms that have an electric charge
What is Ion?
all matter is made of particles that are in constant motion
What is The Kinetic Theory of Gases?
the energy is stored in a object
what is potential energy?
a scientific explanation that can be tested
What is a Hypothesis?
atoms of different elements react and join together
what is a compound?
atoms achieve stable electron configuration when they have 8 valence electrons
what is octet rule?
the shortest wavelength
what is gamma rays?
energy of motion
what is kinetic energy?
move the decimal point until there is one digit to the left of the decimal point
What is Converting to Scientific Notation?
electrons that occupy the outermost shell or principle energy level
what is a valence electron?
a bond that "steals" electrons from the other atom to achieve its full octet in valence shell
What is Ionic Bonds?
the small range of the spectrum that can be seen by the human eye
what is visible light?
if temperature goes up, pressure goes up
what is Gay-Lussac's Law?
Variable I change during an experiment
What is an Independent variable?
show the localization of valence electrons
what is a Lewis Dot Diagram?
takes place when two or more chemicals mix and a new compound is formed
What is a Chemical Reaction?
objects with a temp above 0 kelvin emit...
what is infrared radiation?
if volume goes down, pressure goes up
what is Boyle's law?
a tested, reliable scientific explanation
What is a Scientific Theory?
