What phase of matter is being shown here:
Solid
100
What are the two factors that influence the strength of the electrostatic force?
Distance and Charge
100
Which element has 13 protons?
Aluminum
100
What does this symbol mean?
Partial Charge
100
Why do metals conduct electricity?
They have loosely held electrons that are able to move freely, allowing charge to flow.
100
What is the capital of Oregon?
Salem

What is the name of the equation for finding the strength of an electrostatic force?
Coulomb's Law
200
Find the missing information:
p = 12
e = 10
n = 12
200
How do you ionize something?
Add or remove an electron
200
What does Effective Nuclear Charge (ENC) mean?
The actual pull on the outer electrons from the nucleus.
200
What state is this? 
South Carolina
300
What happens to the energy of particles as a liquid turns into a gas?
It increases
300
If the distance between two charged particles is cut in half, what happens to the strength of the force between them?
It increases by 4
300
Draw a bohr model for Nitrogen.
Image to be drawn up front.
300
When someone is rubbing a balloon and their sweater, what is happening at the atomic level?
Electrons are being transferred because of frictional forces.
300
What do the electrons of insulators do when an electric current is applied?
They vibrate and generate heat.
300
Who sings this song? (Bonus 100 points if you can name both)
Dua Lipa and Elton John
400
What are the two main components of plasma, the 4th state of matter?
Free electrons & Positive Ions
400
Why do metals have a less firm hold on electrons compared to non-metals?
Valence electrons are typically farther away and metals have a lower ENC
400
Complete the missing information: 
Fluorine, atomic mass 20, atomic number 9, charge -1
400
Name 2 examples of polarized objects we have discussed.
A wall, the ground, water molecules, soda can, etc.

Draw how this image would change if an electrical current was applied:
400
What is the population of Bellingham? (within 3 thousand is correct)
94,720 measured in 2023 at least...
500
What is the term for when a solid turns directly into a gas?
Sublimation
500
When electrons are pushed close together, where does the kinetic energy of movement go?
Into the electric field between the electrons.
500
Write the nuclear symbol for two different isotopes of the Boron
So long as they have different atomic masses with the same amount of protons, it works.
500
What causes water to be polar?
The oxygen atom holds the electrons closer to the nucleus.
500
Why does adding salt to water allow it to conduct electricity?
It adds ions (charges) to the liquid that move freely when a current is applied.

What movie is this image from?
The Truman Show
