A phrase used to describe the study of the motions of small bundles of matter
What is Quantum Mechanics?
100
The redistribution of electrons to form a more stable atom or atoms; filling up valence shells.
What is a chemical bond?
100
This type of reaction absorbs heat and actually cools its surroundings
What is an endothermic reaction?
100
Maintains a constant volume and shape
What is solid?
100
An atom that does not have the same number of protons and neutrons in its nuclei and therefore, is heavier than the original element.
What is an isotope?
200
This is how we communicate measurements of quantum things.
What is probability?
200
Ionic, Covalent and Metallic
What are the three primary types of bonds?
200
This type of reaction releases energy in the form of heat, sound, and light.
What is an exothermic reaction?
200
Polymer, Crystal, and Glass
What are types of solids?
200
The amount of time it takes half of a batch of radioactive material to decay.
What is a half-life?
300
The energy of the probe is too close to the energy of the thing that we are measuring. Thus, the energy of the probe changes the state of the thing we are measuring
What is the Observer Effect?
300
A bond where one atom loses electrons and the other atom gains electrons but both components end up with their valence shells filled.
What is an ionic bond?
300
In this type of chemical reaction, one reactant loses an electron (is oxidized) and the other gains one (is reduced).
What is an oxidation-reduction reaction?
300
Has a constant volume but can have a variable shape
What is a liquid?
300
This is the process of splitting atoms to get energy and is the basis for nuclear power.
What is fission?
400
States that the error in the velocity measurement and the error in the position measurement are dependent upon the mass of the object being measured.
What is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle?
400
Two subcategories of covalent bonds.
What are Polar Bonds and van der Waals bonds?
400
In this reaction solids dissolve in water, and the formation of a solid results.
What is solution-precipitate reaction?
400
The Five States of Matter
What are Plasma, Gas, liquid, Solid, Bose-Einstein Condensate?
400
This is the process of gaining energy by fusing atoms together. It is very efficient.
What is fusion?
500
The phenomenon that describes how a particle can have the characteristics of a wave and a particle on the the quantum scale.
What is wave-particle duality?
500
The strongest type of bond.
What is a covalent bond?
500
The Four Fundamental Forces of Nature!
What are Electromagnetic, Gravity, Strong and Weak?
500
One is super hot and super active and the other is super cold and super slow.
Describe how Plasma and Bose-Einstein Condensate are opposites?
500
An equation which describes how the energy of a nuclear reaction comes from converting mass to energy.
