Resolution!

100

Fill in the blank: The strength of _________ between particles determines the temperatures at which it will change phase.

Intermolecular forces (or cohesion)!


100

Fill in the blank: Substances that decay have a measurable __________ that can help us determine how old they are.

Half life!

100

Fill in the blank: Valance electrons affect which atoms can make _________ with other atoms to make molecules. 

Chemical bonds!

200

What is the most common isotope of the element carbon?

Carbon-12

200

Why do  scientists care whether a measurement is written "2" grams or "2.0" grams? 

Significant digits help scientists understand the strength of the tools used to make the measurement. 

200

Which section(s) of this graph show a substance changing phase?

B to C and D to E (the flat sections)

200

How do engineers keep a fission nuclear reactor from melting down?

They use substances that absorb neutrons to slow down the chain reaction. 

200

Fill in the blanks: a chemist would call water a _______ and the particles that make it up ________

compound (or chemical), molecules
300

Write the noble gas shorthand electron configuration for Thallium (Tl).

[Xe]6s24f145d106p(use your colored periodic table!)

300

How many square centimeters (cm2) could fit in a square meter (m2)?

10,000 cm2 = 1 m2

300

Draw a graph showing the relationship between volume and pressure of a gas.

Draw an inverse graph!

300

What daughter nucleus would be left over after Uranium-235 goes through alpha decay?

Thorium-231!

300

Write the unabbreviated electron configuration for Fluorine.

1s22s22p5 (use your colored periodic table!)

400
How many neutrons does an atom of lead 207 have? 

207 mass - 82 protons = 125 neutrons

400

What is the correctly rounded mass of 75.0 mL of a substance with a density of 1.834 g/mL?

138 grams!

400

The mass of 1 million atoms of gold. 

What is 3.2*10^-16 grams?

400

Polonium-214 has a relatively short half-life of 164 seconds.  How many seconds would it take for 8.0 g of this isotope to decay to 0.1 g?


400

What is the final volume of a balloon if temperature is halved and pressure is halved?

It wont change size. Lowering temp lowers volume, but lowering pressure raises volume. 

500

What is the charge of an atom of Carbon with 5 electrons in its orbitals?

6 protons - 5 electrons = +1 charge

500

256 googs = 1 plotz

1 wraslm = 12.3 plotz

3.4 tpocks = 1 mulm

How fast is 4.27 googs/mulm in wraslms/tpock?

0.000399 wraslms/tpock

500

The correctly rounded final pressure if a rigid container starts with 1.0 atm of pressure at 30.0 ºC and is cooled to 0.0 ºC.

What is 0.90 atm?

500

Write a CER style response: Explain which type of decay (alpha, beta minus, or beta plus) is most likely to occur in one of the four regions shown below. 

Make a claim 

Back your claim up by reading the x and y axis of the graphs. 

Explain why that type of decay would fix the imbalance of protons and neutrons.

500

Write a CER style response: which lab, activity, or assignment will help you the most on this upcoming test? 

Choose an assignment to include as your claim. Write some evidence that makes you think that material will be on the test. Explain in reasoning why that activity was useful for learning that material.
