100
what do power plants produce
energy( eletricity and gas ).
100
How does a gecko adhere to a wall?
Van der Waals Forces
100
What is sea breeze?
A cooling wind blowing from the sea to land
200
What is the Valence Shell?
The outermost shell of the atom is made up of electrons.
200
What Device is used to find voltage, amperage, and other measurements?
Multimeter

are hydroeletric plants bad for the enviorment? ( pollution wise ).
no

Why is an electrical panel important?
The electrical panel distributes power to all circuits in the home and contains circuit breakers that
automatically cut power if a circuit is overloaded — preventing electrical fires and equipment damage.
200
What is sublimation?
The process where a solid turns directly into a gas
300
What is an Ion?
An atom with an imbalance of electrons and protons.
300
Why do homes use parallel circuts in wiring?
If a applience or light goes out the rest of the circuts are able to functon.
300
in what type of power plant is fisson used
A nuclear plant

What is the Chemical Symbol for Lead
Pb
300
What is Causation?
What you experimentally show is related to something else
400
What is a unstable isotope.
An atom with an imbalance of Protons and Neutrons
400
What are the three types of circuts?
Parallel, Seiries, Combonation Circut.
400
What types of powerplants use water.
Almost all of them.

Why copper is a good conductor?
Copper has only 1 electron in its outermost shell. A free electron from a battery easily knocks it loose,
which then hits the next atom in a chain reaction — allowing current to flow with very low resistance.
400
What does stability refer to in chemistry?
The ability for an atom or molocule to resist changes in it's state.
500
What is columbs law formula for atoms?
500
Electricity flows along the path of...
Least resitance
500
What are some downsides to nuclear powerplants
1:creates spenet fuel.
500
What is the difference between alternating current and direct current?
DC (Direct Current): electrons flow in ONE direction only.
Found in: batteries, flashlights, phones, laptops, solar panels.
AC (Alternating Current): electrons reverse direction rapidly (60 Hz in USA).
Used in: household wall outlets, power grid, most home appliances.
500
What is the environmental lapse rate?
The rate at which air temperature decreases with altitude
