Atomic Structure
The three particles found in an atom
What are protons, neutrons and electrons?
This type of energy is caused by an object vibrating
What is sound?
This needs to bounce off, or be made by, an object to be seen
What is light?
Also called heat
What is thermal energy?
Has its own shape
What is a solid?
Having a negative charge, these particles orbit the nucleus of an atom
What are electrons?
In general, sound travels fastest through this state of matter
What are solids?
Light travels as this type of wave
What is electromagnetic?
Energy that is contained in an atom's nucleus
What is nuclear energy?
Out of the four states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) which would be the hottest
What is plasma?
These particles have a positive charge
What is a proton?
The number of waves produced in a given time
What is frequency?
The process of light bouncing off an object
What is reflection?
Energy stored in the chemical bonds of a molecule
What is chemical energy?
If a solid melts, it turns to this state
What is liquid?
These particles have a neutral charge
What are neutrons?
These particles are squeezed together
What is compression?
This happens when light travels through different materials
What is refraction?
Energy an object has due to its position
What is potential energy?
Condensation is the change from this to this
What is from a gas to a liquid?
This is where the protons and neutrons can be found
What is the nucleus?
Sound can not travel though this
What is a vacuum?
You can see through a material if it is this
What is transparent?
This energy travels through air at 330 meters per second
What is sound energy?
The temperature point that a liquid turns into a gas
What is the vaporization point?
