1

As you go across a period what happens to reactivity

reactivity decreases because there are more [protons which means that there is a bigger attraction.

New cards
2

as you go across a period what happens to the elements

The size of the atom decreases because their are more protons.

New cards
3

For metals when you go down a group what happens

the size of the atom increases because their are more shells

New cards
4

is a compound a pure substance

Yes a compound is a pure substance

New cards
5

the attraction between a ion and a compound forms what

anions

New cards
6

What are covalent bonds?

a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms

New cards
7

What are ionic compounds

formed from metals and non metals

New cards
8

What are Isotopes.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have a different mass because electrons have no mass it has a different number of neutrons. Like a fat twin.

New cards
9

What are molecular compounds

compounds formed from two or more nonmetals

New cards
10

What are molecules?

atoms bonded together by covalent bonding.

New cards
11

What are the 7 diatomic elements?

H.O.F.Br.I.N.C.l

New cards
12

what do cations bond to

anions

New cards
13

what do molecular compounds form

compounds without metals

New cards
14

what does neutral mean

have an equal number of protons and protons.

New cards
15

What happens to the reactivity as you go down a group

the reactivity increases because the atom is bigger which means that there is less attraction between protons and valence electrons

New cards
16

what is a compound.

2 or more elements chemically combined

New cards
17

What is an alloy

a MIXTURE of 2 metals

New cards
18

what is an anion

A negatively charged ion

New cards
19

What is an cation?

A positively charged ion (metal)

New cards
20

What is an Ion

A charged atom

New cards
21

What is an Ionic compound

a metal and non metal this also completes both valence shells by giving not sharing

New cards
22

What is an molecular compound

2 non metals completes valence shell by sharing

New cards
23

What is the octete rule?

when a element fills there outer shell

New cards
24

When you have covalent bonds what order do you do it in.

the element that needs the most amount of electrons in the middle and add the ones that need the least at the end.

New cards
25

where are anions on the periodic table

right side

New cards
26

where are cations on the periodic table

left side

New cards
27

why are the diatomic elements special?

they can not be alone

New cards
28

why is an alloy good

takes the best qualities of both metals and combines them into one.

New cards
29

4 ways nitrogen is fixed

Lightning (turns 5% into nitrates), Nitrifying bacteria, Soil bacteria and Man-made

New cards
30

how are nutrients recycled

air, land,water, and living organisms

New cards
31

how do humans get their carbon and in what form

in the form of glucose and we get it by eating other organisms.

New cards
32

how is carbon found in the atmosphere

co2

New cards
33

How is CO2 put back into the atmosphere?

respiration, burning of fossil fuels, volcanoes, anything burning, weathering

New cards
34

what do decomposers do in the carbon cycle

return the co2 back into the atmosphere.

New cards
35

what do humans need carbon for

cell growth, cell repair, energy

New cards
36

what do producers turn co2 into

glucose

New cards
37

What does de-nitrifying bacteria do?

it unfixes bacteria and returns it to the atmposphere.

New cards
38

What is nitrogen used for

Cellular reproduction, DNA, and Proteins

New cards
39

what is the word equation for cellular respiration

glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy

New cards
40

What is the word equation for photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide + water + Energy--> glucose + oxygen

New cards
41

why do nutrients have to be recycled

because if they did not there would be none left

New cards
42

Substances with electrons that move easily are called

Conductors

New cards
43

Substances with electrons that can not move easily are called

insulators

New cards
44

Objects with = number of protons and electrons have a…

neutral charge

New cards
45

Objects that gain electrons get

- charge

New cards
46

Objects that lose electrons have a

+ charge

New cards
47

What is Friction

rubbing 2 insulators together

New cards
48

What Happens to the electrons during friction

transfering of electrons between two neutral objects

New cards
49

What happens when a neutral object is touched with a charged object.

When a charged object touches a neutral object electrons move from the object with more electrons (from more to less). Objects end up having the same charges

New cards
50

how can an electroscope can be used to detect charge.

electroscope detects charges by contact or induction, leaves will spread or go closer together.

New cards
51

Define electrical discharge

When electrons move to or from a statically charged object all at once this is called electrical discharge

New cards
52

Describe the process of grounding and state its importance

Connecting an object to the ground. We do this to keep things neutral. It always involves conductors

New cards
53

Define current electricity

When electrons are made to flow through conductors (wires) in a controlled manner this is called current electricity.

New cards
54

Identify the positive and negative terminals of a battery

Identify the positive and negative terminals of a battery

New cards
55

What is the symbol for resistance

Ω

New cards
56

What can affect resistance

Diameter, Length, Temperature, Material

New cards
57

What is a series circuit

has only 1 way for the electrons to flow

New cards
58

Parallel circuit

more than 1 way for electrons to flow.
