Matter and Energy
The subatomic particle that has a positive charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom.
What is a proton?
A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
What is an element?
This type of bond forms when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons (two nonmetals!)
What is a covalent bond?
A substance that tastes sour and has a pH value between 0 and 6.
What is an acid?
Ms. Beban's college for BOTH degrees.
What is Adelphi University?
This is the smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element.
What is an atom?
The rows on the periodic table are called periods, while these vertical columns group elements with similar properties.
What are groups?
This type of bond forms when metals and nonmetals STEAL electrons from eachother.
What is an ionic bond?
In a chemical formula, this small number written to the right of an element's symbol tells you how many atoms of that element are present.
What is a subscript?
Ms. Beban is thinking of a teacher!!!!
Who is Mr. Nuñez?!?!
These are the particles located in the outermost energy level of an atom, responsible for chemical bonding.
What are valence electrons?
This state of matter has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.
What is a liquid?
The type of bond formed between Sodium and Chlorine.
What is an ionic bond?
A substance that feels slippery, tastes bitter, and has a pH value between 8 and 14.
What is a base?
What Ms. Beban would teach if she wasn't a physics teacher.
Atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
What are isotopes?
The state of matter where particles are packed very tightly together and vibrate in fixed positions.
What is a solid?
In chemical nomenclature, this is the name for a charged atom or molecule.
What is an ion?
The proper name of a compound containing one Carbon and one Oxygen atom.
What is carbon monoxide?
Ms. Beban's age. (Negative points for all answers calling me OLD)
What is 24??
This term describes the spontaneous emission of radiation from an unstable atomic nucleus.
What is radioactivity?
This type of mixture is uniform throughout, such as salt dissolved in water.
What is a homogeneous mixture (or a solution)?
The type of radioactive decay that releases a particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons.
What is alpha decay?
Number of years Ms. Beban has been teaching!
