True or False: 

The particles in a solid do not move at all.

False - they vibrate in place 

100

What do the periods tell you in the periodic table? 

The number of energy levels that an atom has.

Name the 2 characteristics of an ionic bond.

1. between a metal and a nonmetal 

2. electrons are permanently transferred

What is the location of the smallest bone in the human body? 

In the middle ear

200

Describe the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy.

Higher temperatures = more kinetic energy

200

Write the charge for a cation and an anion 

Cation (+) 

Anion (-) 

200

Can the same element have different numbers of protons? Why or why not? 

No, protons are specific to each element. 

200
Name the 2 characteristics of a covalent bond. 

1. between two nonmetals 

2. electrons are shared 

200

Can astronauts burp in space? 

No! Because the constant of gravity is different in space, the liquids, gasses, and solids in your stomach do not separate like they do on earth. 

300

Choose one of the 4 states of matter and explain the particle movement and kinetic energy of that state. 

Solids: particles are in a fixed, condensed position and vibrate in place 

Liquids: particles are more spread out, have higher kinetic energy than solids, and flow

Gas: particles move freely and quickly and have a lot of kinetic energy

Plasma: particles carry a charge, move freely and very quickly due to extremely high kinetic energy

300

What is an isotope? 

An atom with naturally occurring variations in neutrons.

How many protons, neutrons, and electrons, and valence electrons are in Xenon (Xe) 

Protons: 54 

Neutrons: 77

Electrons: 54

Valence Electrons: 8

300

What is an ion? 

An atom that carries a positive or negative charge by losing or gaining electrons

What is the only bird that can fly backwards and upside down? 

Hummingbirds

400

Explain how are endothermic and exothermic different. 

Endothermic changes = absorb energy 

Exothermic changes = release energy 

400

What purpose do the neutrons serve? 

They hold protons together because the positive charges will repel each other - they act as a glue. 

400

A carbon atom with 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons would have an atomic mass of what?  

12 amu (protons + neutrons)

400

Is this ionic or covalent? C₆H₁₂O₆

Covalent

How many bones do human babies have? 

300

What is the relationship between pressure and volume in a gas?

What is the relationship between temperature and volume in a gas?  

Pressure and volume: inverse/indirect 

Temperature and volume: direct 

500

Why are nonmetals more likely to take in electrons than lose them in ionic bonding?

They have more valence electrons than metals, so they are more likely to take in more electrons.
