100
What is a solvent? 

The substance that dissolves something else. (doing the dissolving)

100

Which is more accurate: a digital or a non-digital scale?

Digital

100

Is this electron configuration or an orbital diagram?

Electron Configuration

100

Which block(s) contain the "representative elements"?

The S&P Blocks

200

True or false: An element can have multiple different kinds of isotopes

True

200

What is the type of matter called that has definite, uniform characteristics and cannot be separated by physical means?

A pure substance

200

What is the formula for calculating percent error?

(Experimental-Accepted)/Accepted*100

200

What is an orbital?

A pathway in an energy level

200

As you go right across a period, does atomic radius get bigger or smaller and why?

Smaller, because a bigger nucleus means that the pull on the electrons actually causes the atoms to be smaller rather than bigger

300

What unit is atomic mass measured in?

Atomic Mass Units.

duh.

300

Milk, Asphalt, and Paint are all examples of what deceptive homogenous mixture?

Colloids

300

What is the difference between a precise measurement and an accurate one?

Precision needs several measurements (how close they are to each other), while accuracy only needs 1 (how close to goal).

300

What shape is the d-orbital?

Cloverleaf

300

What is the name for the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom?

Ionization Energy

400

Which atomic model is most commonly used today?

The Bohr Model

400

What does the Law of Definite Proportions state?

A certain compound of elements is always composed in the same proportions by mass.

400

How many significant figures are in the following number?

270000000000

2

400

When does an atom emit a photon?

When it is returning to its ground state.

400

Which scientist decided to arrange the Periodic Table by atomic number, not mass?

Henry Moseley

500

What type of radiation is implied by this symbol? 

β
