Defined steps to research the world
What was is the scientific method?
Transfer of electrons
What is an ionic bond?
the energy an object possess due to its motion
what is kinetic energy?
anything that has mass and takes up space
What is matter?
Meets the needs of the present and doesn't affect the future generations ability to meet their needs
What is sustainable development?
describe how elements of nature behave under certain circumstances, often a formula
What is a scientific law?
Sharing of electrons
what is a covalent bond?
Potential energy stored within the structural bonds of an atom or molecule
what is chemical energy?
smallest component of a element
what is an atom?
people must proceed carefully when an activity threatens human health or the environment: proceed cautiously in the face of incomplete knowledge about something's potential harm
Part of an experiment that changes on it's own (might change because of the independent)
What is the dependent variable?
affinity for electrons which affects the type of bond
what is electronegativity?
Natural tendency of systems to move from order to disorder and disperse energy (chaos)
what is entropy?
two or more elements chemically bonded to make a new substance
what is a molecule?
exchanges of both energy and matter within its surroundings
what is an open system?
receives the new treatment
what is the experimental group?
measurement of acidity or alkalinity
what is the pH level?
stored in an object or human/system due to its current state or position
what is potential energy?
Protons + Neutrons in an atom
what is the mass number?
study of transformation of energy in living organisms
what is bioenergenetics?
Uses science to solve a real-world problem, underlying question or problem to solve
what is applied science?
Must contain carbon
what is an organic molecule?
energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted between systems and surroundings
what is the 1st Law of Thermodynamics?
same element with different masses
what is an isotope?
accounting tool that uses land to show how much area a population is using for consumption, production and waste discharge
what is your ecological (carbon) footprint?
