Properties and States of Matter
This state of matter has particles that vibrate rapidly, but are very close together.
What is a solid?
This subatomic particle is not found in the nucleus
What is an electron?
This type of element is found on the right of the periodic table.
What are metals?
This type of bond results from a transfer of electrons to another element.
What is an ionic bond?
This is the name we call the participants on the left hand side of the reaction arrow.
What are the reactants.
This is the process by which a gas forms a liquid.
What is condensation?
This subatomic particle is found in the nucleus and identifies the element.
What is the proton?
This group of elements are very electronegative.
What are the halogens?
This type of bond shares electrons
What is covalent?
This is the name of the number that comes before a compound in a reaction equation.
What is a coefficient?
This type of matter is highly conductive, shiny, has high boiling points and are malleable.
What are metals?
These two particle have close to the same mass.
What is a neutron and proton?
This group of elements are nonreactive and therefore good to use to stabilize an environment.
What are noble gases?
This type of bonding dissolves easily in water.
What is ionic bonding?
This is the name of a reaction that has oxygen gas as a reactant and produces carbon dioxide and water.
What is combustion?
What is density?
Elements that have different number of neutrons but the same number of protons are called this.
What are isotopes?
This group of metals have just one electron in the outer valence shell?
What are alkali or group 1 metals?
This element will make up to 4 covalent bonds and is the backbone for biological compounds.
What is carbon?
We must balance a chemical reaction because of this law.
What is the law of conservation of mass.
These three phase changes are all exothermic.
What are freezing, condensation and deposition.
Rutherford discovered this type of subatomic particle with his gold-foil experiments
What is the proton?
Atomic size increases as one travels which way across the periodic table?
Right to left or up to down.
A molecule that has an uneven distribution of charge is called this.
What is a polar molecule?
This element is oxidized in the following reaction
2K(s) + Cl2 (g) --> 2KCl(s)
What is Potassium?
