Scientific Inquiry
Grouping items together in like ways.
What is CLASSIFYING?
What are SOLIDS, LIQUIDS, and GASES?
The electrons that have the highest energy.
What are VALENCE ELECTRONS?
Any change that alters the form or appearance of a substance but does not change into another substance.
What is a PHYSICAL CHANGE?
Explaining or interpreting things you observe.
What is INFERRING?
Molecules in a fixed position with slight movement.
What are SOLIDS?
Includes the symbol for the element, surrounded by dots.
What is an ELECTRON DOT DIAGRAM?
A change in matter that produces one or more new substance.
What is a CHEMICAL REACTION?
Making a statement of claim about what will happen in the future based on past experience or events.
What is PREDICTING?
The change of state from a solid to a liquid.
What is MELTING?
In terms of valence electrons, which group of elements is considered the most "stable"?
What are NOBLE GASES?
Ice melting is an example of this type of reaction.
What is a PHYSICAL REACTION?
Comparing observations and data to reach a conclusion.
What is EVALUATING?
Molecules with very big places in between them, very quick moving.
What is GAS?
The force of attraction that holds atoms together as the result of the rearrangement of electrons between them.
What is a CHEMICAL BOND?
Fireworks is an example of this type of reaction.
What is a CHEMICAL REACTION?
Definite volume but no shape of its own.
What is LIQUID?
This happens to particles when they are heated up?
Atoms are most stable when they have this many valence electrons.
What is EIGHT?
Mowing the lawn is an example of this type of reaction.
