Chemical Bonding
A neutral atom of Magnesium loses 2 electrons. What is the charge of the resulting ion?
+2 or Mg2
This rule states that electrons always fill the lowest energy level orbital available first.
The Aufbau Principle
In the isotope Carbon-14, this is the number of protons and the number of neutrons
6 Protons and 8 Neutrons
The Earth's layers are sorted by this property, with the heaviest material sinking to the core
Density
A chemical reaction that releases heat (feels hot) is called this
Exothermic
This is the chemical formula for the ionic compound formed between Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl).
NaCl
This is the full electron configuration for Carbon (Atomic Number 6)
1s2 2s2 2p2
In a Bohr model of Oxygen, this is the number of electrons found in the second ring valence shell
6 electrons
In the Oreo Tectonics lab, the creamy filling represented this semi-fluid layer of the Earth that the plates float on
The Asthenosphere
Using the staircase method, convert 500 milliliters (mL) into Liters (L)
0.5 Liters
Because they share electrons rather than transferring them, Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is considered this type of compound.
Covalent Compound (or Molecular Compound
This is the Noble Gas shortcut configuration for Sodium (Atomic Number 11)
According to Boyle's Law, if the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure does this
Increases
This type of plate boundary occurs where two plates slide past each other horizontally, often causing earthquakes (like the San Andreas Fault)
Transform Boundary
When ice melts into liquid water, energy is doing this (absorbed or released)
Absorbed (Endothermic)
What is the correct name for the compound Fe2O3? (Remember to include the Roman numeral for the transition metal
Iron (III) Oxide
This is the full electron configuration for Chlorine (Atomic Number 17)
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5
This is the maximum number of electrons that can fit in the first, second, and third energy shells of a Bohr Model
2, 8, and 18 (though for the first 20 elements, the third shell holds 8)
On a tectonic map, a line with triangles usually indicates this type of boundary where one plate goes under another
Convergent Boundary (Subduction Zone)
Calculate the density of a rock that has a mass of 20 grams and a volume of 4cm3
5 g/cm3 (D=M/V)
In a molecule of Methane (CH4) Carbon shares electrons with 4 Hydrogen atoms. Draw or describe the shape of this molecule
Tetrahedral
This is the Noble Gas shortcut configuration for Iron (Atomic Number 26)
[Ar]4s2 3d5
A balloon has a volume of 2L at 300 Kelvin. If the temperature increases to 600 Kelvin, this will be the new volume
4 Liters. (Direct relationship: T doubled, so V doubles)
On a tectonic map, a jagged line usually found in the middle of the ocean represents this feature where new crust is being made
Mid-Ocean Ridge (Divergent Boundary)
This type of heat transfer occurs when heat travels through empty space (like heat from the sun or a fire feeling hot from a distance) without touching it
Radiation
