Atomic Structure
The smallest particle of matter
What is an atom?
The ability to cause change
What is energy?
Mass
What is the star characteristic that determines its life cycle path?
Distance measured from crest to crest, or trough to trough
What is a wavelength ?
Where elements are located
What is a periodic table?
Surrounds the nucleus and electrons are found here
What is an energy level/what does it contain?
Energy due to motion
Ex- running
What is kinetic energy?
A cloud of dust/gas and has H and He
What is nebula facts?
More energy so close together in wavelength
What is high frequency waves like?
Goes up and down
What is a group on periodic table?
Neutrons(0), protons(+), electrons(-)
What is particles and their charge in an atom?
Energy stored by the compressing or stretching of an object ex- stretched rubber band
What is elastic potential energy?
Where fusion continues, expands 100x main sequence size, and He+He—> C
What is a red giant?
The waves are long and have low energy
What is low frequency waves like?
Goes side to side
What is a period on periodic table?
Number of electrons on outer shell determines elements reactivity, number of elements group deteremines this.
What is valence electron?
Energy due to gravitational forces between objects
Ex- apple hanging from tree
What is gravitational potential energy ?
Planetary nebula, white dwarf, black dwarf
What is three steps our sun would take on star lifecycle ?
The top hump of wave
What is a crests location on wave?
Metal, nonmetal, metalloids, and noble gasses
What are categories on periodic table?
Protons are atomic number, electrons are the same as protons, and neaurtons are mass number minus atomic number (number of protons)
What is the correct way to determine number of each particle ?
Energy stored between bonds
Ex- burned coal
What is chemical potential energy?
Super giant, supernovas, neutron star, and black hole
What is four steps a larger star would take ?
Bottom hump of wave
What is the trough location on wave?
Noble gasses (8)
What is the category with full outer shell?
