The aspect of the experiment that you keep the same 

What is the constants

200

What does the atomic number tell you? 

The number of Protons & Electrons 

200

In a chemical reaction, what are the starting "ingredients" called? 

What are Reactants 

300

What is Atomic Mass 

300

The new substances formed at the end of a chemical reaction are called 

What are products 

400

True or false? Compounds are always molecules but molecules are not always compounds 

True 

400

These two subatomic particles make up the nucleus of an atom

What are Neutrons and Protons

400

Identify the independent and dependent variable in the following experiment; 


Izzy is curious to know if her sleep will be affected by painting the walls in her room bright pink. 

Independent variable: color of walls 

Dependent variable: Amount of sleep 

400

What does atomic mass tell you? 

The mass of the protons + neutrons 

400

A student mixes a strong base, NaOH with a strong Acid, HCl. In the end, the student is left with Water (HOH) and Salt NaCl. Even though the same elements are present before and after, why is this a chemical change? 

It is chemical because the properties of the reactants are different than the products. For example, HCl is a strong, dangerous acid, while NaCl is an edible food. 

500

How can the atoms in a molecule, like Cl2, reform into a new compound like HCl? 

Bonds need to break, atoms rearrange, and new bonds form. 

500

How many electrons can fit on the first energy shell? 

What is 2

500

A student is going to test how the pH of different drinks affects the enamel on teeth. What would the control group be and why? 

Water- pH of 7 which is neutral, therefore the "normal". 

500

Boron has 6 Neutrons and an atomic mass of 10.81. How many electrons does it have? SHOW YOUR WORK. 

What is 5

500

A student is making elephants toothpaste with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), yeast, warm water, and food dye. After adding the ingredients together, there is an explosion and he notices bubbles have formed. What was produced that formed the bubbles? 

H2O2 gets broken down into H2O and Omolecules. Ois a gas that gets trapped in the soap and forms bubbles.
