What type of charge does a proton have

positive


100

What are the two main types of energy 

kinetic and potential

100

Given a solid and a gas...in which are particles farther apart and in which are they closer together?

solid- closer

gas- farther

100


How many valence electrons does calcium have

2
100

What is an example of radiant energy?

the sun

200

What type of charge does an electron have

negative


200

A globe sitting high on a shelf has what type of energy?

(gravitational) potential

200

What happens to particles when thermal energy (heat) is added?

they move around faster

200

How many neutrons are in the sulfur cell? (use 32 as the atomic mass)

32 - 16 = 16

200

If the atomic mass is 25 and the atomic number is 12 what is the number of neutrons

25 - 12 = 13

300

What type of charge does a proton have

no/neutral

300

When you rub your hands together what kindS of energy is being used? (list at least 2)

sound, thermal, mechanical, kinetic

300

Why is thermal energy considered kinetic energy

particles are vibrating and moving

300

A wind up toy was wound up but not yet released...what kind of energy is that

mechanical potential

300

What does the law of conservation of energy say

energy can never be created or destroyed...it just changes forms

400

where can you find valence electrons

outermost shell of an atom

400

pulling back on a rubber band or bow and arrow have what type of energy

elastic (potential)

400

how does energy travel through air to reach an object

particles vibrate back and forth and bump into other particles

400

Where is an atoms mass located

nucleus

400

What subatomic particle (parts of an atom) determines the identity of an element?

protons

500

What information does the atomic number tell you

number of protons and electrons

500

an unused glow stick, a battery disconnected, and a slice of pizza all have what kind of energy

stored chemical potential

500

What happens to a glow stick when you put it in hot water vs cold water and WHY

it glows more in hot water, because to particles are moving around faster and in cold water they slow down
500

When you turn on a light switch electrical energy turns into what two other forms

light and thermal

500

What determines how many valence electrons an atom has

where it's located on the periodic table
