How many neutrons does it have?

How many valence electrons?

How many total electrons?

(Ar) Argon

18 protons, 22 neutrons, 8 valence electrons, 18 total electrons.

100

How many Neutrons does element #34 have?

45 neutrons.

100

Mushrooms are producers, true or false?

False.

100

What type of weather can be expected after a cold front?

Clear skies (sunny) and cold temperatures.

200

What are Newton's Three laws of motion in order?

1. Inertia

2. F=ma

3. Action/reaction

200

What is the chemical symbol of this element?

What is the net charge of this element?

(Al) Aluminium

The element has a net charge of -2

200

This element has three electron shells and two valence electrons. What is it?

200

Which trophic level gets about 1% of the original energy produced by a producer?

Secondary consumers.

200

What can be expected after a warm front?

Cloudy skies (overcast), warm temperatures, and precipitation (rain/snow/etc...)

300

What is the difference between Speed, Velocity, and acceleration? 

Speed= distance/time

Velocity = speed + direction

Acceleration = change in speed or change in direction.

300

An isotope of Surfer-36 is neutral, so it has the same number of protons and electrons. How many neutrons does it have? 

20 neutrons

Triple points!!!

300

B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, Lv, Ts

300

What are the three symbiotic relationships that involve a parasite and a host?

Mutualism

Commensalism

Parasitism 

300

What are the three types of plate boundaries?

Convergent boundaries

Divergent boundaries

Transform boundaries.

400

What is the mass in kg of an object moving at 30 m/s2 and has a force of 120 Newtons?

4 kg

400

Answer in order of the questions.

Which group is the Alkali Metals group?

Which group is the Halogens?

Which group is the Noble Gases?

Which group is the Alkaline Metals group?

Group 1A

Group 7A

Group 8A

Group 2A

400

Find Gold on the periodic table. What group and period number is it in?

Period 6, group (11 or 1B)

400

What causes algae blooms?

Runoff from farms send fertilizer and other substances into lakes, and oceans. This causes vegetation to grow rapidly and die causing toxic chemicals and lack of oxygen through the process of decomposition.

(As long as you're close). 

400

What is the difference between continental and oceanic crust?

Oceanic crust is newer and more dense because of the pressure from the ocean above.

500

A car traveled 92 miles in four hours. What was the vehicles average speed?

23 miles/hour

500

What determines an element's identity?

What determines an elements reactivity?

Protons determine an element's identity.


Valence electrons determine an elements reactivity.

500

This element is in period 2 and group 7. Draw it. 

Must have two electron shells and seven valence electrons, the element is (F) Fluorine.

500

What is primary succession?

Pioneer species arrive on a rocky island with no living organisms. They will break down rock and over time soil will begin to form on the island. Other species will follow.  From nothing, an ecosystem will develop/

500

What are some evidence for continental drift?

1. Continents look like puzzle pieces.

2. Fossils of plants and animals are found oceans apart. 

3. Seafloor spreading (magnetic fields flip, and younger crust closest to mid-ocean ridges).
