Ch 1 : theory differences from hypothesis

A theory is :

  • broader in scope ( umbrella ; hypothesis grouped under )

  • evidence based

  • current ( changes as new info is presented )

  • doesn’t have to be testable

New cards
New cards

ch 2 : full valence shells

a full valence shell causes an atom to become unreactive

  • Opposites attract : Cations and anions are attracted to each other

  • the strength is affect by environment : ionic bonds become weak in cells

  • between atoms
