the smallest particle of an element that retains the elements properties
What is Atom?
a change in which one or more substances are converted into new substances.
What is Chemical Reaction?
A moving object has a property
What is Momentum?
described as the ability to do work.
What is Energy?
the bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another.
What is Refraction?
The small, positively charged center of the atom
What is Nucleus?
What is Chemical Equation?
the distance an object travels per unit of time.
What is Speed?
the energy a moving object has because of its motion.
What is Kinetic Energy?
when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it.
What is Diffraction?
Scientists have inferred that protons and neutrons are composed of smaller particles
What is Quarks?
the mass in grams of one mole of a substance.
What is Molar Mass?
the total distance traveled divided by the total time of travel.
What is Average Speed?
energy stored by something that can stretch or compress, such as a rubber band or spring.
What is Elastic Potential Energy?
When two or more waves overlap and combine to form a new wave
What is Interference?
the area around the nucleus of an atom, where electrons are most likely to be found.
What is Electron Cloud?
when a substance reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light.
What is Combustion Reaction?
the change in an object’s position relative to a reference point.
What is Motion?
energy due to gravitational forces between objects.
the waves subtract from each other as they overlap.
What is Destructive Interference?
Energy levels of electrons in an atom are measured through the atom’s
What is Emission Spectrum?
When one element replaces another element in a compound
What is Single-Displacement Reaction?
the distance and direction of an object’s change in position
What is Displacement?
Energy stored due to chemical bonds
waves add together.
