The Periodic Table
What are groups?
These are the vertical columns on the table where all the elements act like 'family' and have similar traits
What is density?
This is a physical property that measures how heavy or packed together a substance is for its size.
What is the nucleus?
This is the brain or the center of the atom where all the mass is.
What is the solute?
In a mix of Kool-Aid and water, the powder is this part of the solution.
What are reactants?
In a science experiment, these are the ingredients or the stuff you start with.
What is the atomic number?
This is the number at the top of an element's square that tells you how many protons it has.
What is flammability
If a substance can easily catch on fire, it has this chemical property.
What are atoms?
These are the tiny, invisible building blocks that make up everything in the universe.
What is a homogeneous mixture?
This is a well-mixed mixture where everything looks exactly the same throughout.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
This law says you can't just create or destroy matter it has to go somewhere.
What are metals?
You can find these on the left side of the stairs on the periodic table they’re usually shiny and good at conducting heat
What is a chemical change?
When you see bubbles, a color change, or a weird smell, it’s a big sign that this has happened.
What are electrons?
These are the negative particles that zoom around the outside of the nucleus.
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
A bowl of Chex Mix is this kind of mixture because you can easily see and pick out the different parts.
What is 50g?
If you have 50g of reactants, you have to end up with exactly this much product.
What are the Noble Gases?
This is the group of 'snobby' gases on the far right that don't like to react with anyone else.
What is a precipitate?
This is what you call a solid that suddenly forms when you mix two liquids together.
What is a compound?
This is what you get when you chemically bond two or more different types of atoms together.
What is the universal solvent?
Water is called this because it’s really good at dissolving almost anything.
What is gas?
If you burn something and it seems to lose weight, the missing mass usually turned into this.
What are Halogens?
This group of elements is super reactive because they only need one more electron to be happy and full.
What is a physical change?
Crushing a can or melting an ice cube are examples of this, because the substance is still the same thing.
What are protons and neutrons?
These two particles are found inside the nucleus and give the atom its mass.
What are physical ways?
Because the parts of a mixture aren't stuck together chemically, you can use these types of ways to separate them.
What is balanced?
To show that mass is saved, you have to make sure both sides of a chemical equation are this.
