What is the scientific method and all of its steps? Give examples.

Definition
The scientific method is a series of steps. The steps are observation, question, research, hypothesis, experiment, and conclusion. For observation you would observe an experiment. For question you would ask anything that you are confused about. For research you would search up the topic and find out information. For the hypothesis you would guess what you think the object would do. Experiment is when you play around with the object and see what it would do and wouldn't do. So for the conclusion you would collect all of your data and take your hypothesis and if needed change it. So when you are done with all of your data and your hypothesis you will then write what you have learned about this expiriment.

Explain the difference between a pure substance and a mixture. (Give the different types of each)
Definition
A pure substance is a sample of matter, either a single element or a single compound, that has definite chemical and physical properties. Ex : Water, Elements, Compound, Sodium, and Carbon Dioxide. A mixture is a combination of more than one pure substance that are only physically combined. Ex: Homogeneous, Heterogeneous, Cake Batter, Soil, and Eggs.
Term
What are the parts of a solution? Give examples of each.
Definition

The parts of a solution is the solvent and the solute. The solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves. Solute is the substance that dissolves in the substance. Ex: Salt water. The solute is the salt and the solvent is the water.  

Term
What are the ways you can dissolve a solute faster? Give all three and how they change the process.
Definition

A way that you can disolve the solute faster is that you can change the temperature, increase the surface area, and stir the solute. If you change the temperature higher then the soulte will dissolve faster. If you increase the surface area ex. if you have a full tablet and crush it then there is less of the product and it will easily dissolve and it will dissolve faster. Last is that you can stir the solute and if you stir the solute then you will break down the solid much more faster. 

Term
Know the history up through the modern atomic theory and then tell me the location of the electron, proton, and neutron.
Definition
The protons and neutrons are at the center of the atom. Scientists call the center of the region of the atom the nucleus. The nucleus in an atom is a place where you find protons and neutrons. The electrons are found are always found whizzing around the center in areas called shells or orbitals. Atomic Theory is the theory that is made with tiny little particles and the atoms of each element are effectively identical, but differ from those other elements, and unite to form compounds in fixed proportions.
Term
Know how to find the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons off the periodic table.
Definition
To find the number of protons, elctrons, and neutrons on the period ic table. You need to find the atomic number and the atomic weight. The protons and electrons are the atomic number. To find the number of neutrons you first round the atomic weight to the nearest whole number and then subract the atomic weight from the atomic number which is also the protons and electrons.
Term
Be able to compare and contrast elements off the periodic table.
Definition
Sodium is a reactive elements and is not found in nature such as uncombined elements and is combined with other elements such as NaCl. (Alkali Metals) Calcium has two valence electrons and is less reactive but is harder, denser, stronger, and have higher melting points and Calcium combines with other elements to make up compounds. (Alkaline-Earth Metals) Gold is much less reactive than Sodium and Calcium. They can lose electrons to form positive ions. (Transition Metals) Neon is unreactive and does not lose or gain electrons to form ions. Neon is different from Gold because gold can from positive ions by losing elctrons and Neon cannot lose or gain electrons to form ions. Calcium and Sodium can combine elements and both can make compounds.

Term
Why do atoms have no electric charge? Why do ions have a charge?
Definition
Atoms have no electric charge because they have an neutral charge that has positive and negative particles mixed together. Ions have a charge because when you are losing a electron you have a positive charge but two electrons is a negative charge. If you put an negative and positive charge it creates an electric charge when the ions have lost an electron.
Term
Why is a mixture different from a compound?
Definition
A mixture is different from a compound because it is a combination of more than one pure substance and that is only physically combined. A compound is the other pure substance. A compound is made up of two or more atoms that are chemically combined and create a brand new substance.
Term

Explain what each scientist contributed to science and why they were important to today theories?

Aristotle

Definition
Aristotle was writing about his geocentic model. The geocentric model is how the Earth is believed in that time that it was the center of the universe and that the sun, other planets, and even the stars orbited around the earth, but that is entirely false. This is important today becuase if Aristotle never predicted this theory then we wouldn't have looked into it and would have never discovered that the Earth orbits around the sun and then moon orbits around the Earth and the other planets orbit around the Sun.
Term

Explain what each scientist contributed to science and why they were important to today theories?

Newton

Definition
Newton contributed his 3 laws of motion, and his 1st law is an object which is at rest stays at rest unless acted by an outside net force. The 2nd law is the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting upon it. The 3rd law is  For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. These laws are important to today's theories because these laws involve our daily lives by sports when a soccer ball gets hit by a foot unless acted upon and when a lawnmower is pushing enough energy to cut the grass but at a constant force and a plane goes up and down to find the right position.
Term

Explain what each scientist contributed to science and why they were important to today theories?

Mendeleev

Definition
He is the father of the periodic table. He created all the elements on the periodic table. This has helped us today becuase we can now know what is an element and what is a compound and we know what are pure elements and what are non pure elements.
Term

Explain what each scientist contributed to science and why they were important to today theories?

Dalton

Definition
Dalton's theory was that he revised atomic theory. He proposed to say that atoms cannot be divided. All the atoms of one element were all exactly alike, and atoms of diffrent elements could be combined to form a compound. This has helped us today becuase if we also didn't look up this we wouldn't have ever created bombs, which I don't think it's bad. But we did look into it and created bombs and found out that even if you pull/ divide an atom then there will be this great amount of force and will create a small but powerful explotion.
Term

Explain what each scientist contributed to science and why they were important to today theories?

Kepler

Definition
He contributed his first law of planetary motion which is the orbit of a planet around the sun is an ellipse with the Sun's center of mass at one focus. This law is important to today's theories because he discovered that planets make an oval shape which mean that the planets circle around the Sun and that the Sun is in the center and is at one focus.
Term

Explain what each scientist contributed to science and why they were important to today theories?

Eratosthenes

Definition
He discovered the circumference of the earth by the distance between Syene and Alexandria which he measured and the angle of the shadow in Alexandria on the solstice and divided it into 360 degrees of a circle and then multiplied the distance from Syene to Alexandria and calculated the circumference as 25,000 miles but the exact measurement was 24,901 miles about 100 miles difference. It is important because by a 100 miles of a difference he found out the circumference of the earth by angles and it had led other scientists to measure the circumeference of the earth different ways then by a camel.
Term

Explain what each scientist contributed to science and why they were important to today theories?

JJ Thompson

Definition
JJ Thompson believed that atoms were not indivisible. He studied cathode rats, mysterious rays in a vacuum tube. He also believed that the cathode rays were negatively charged and causes within an atom. This revealed that atoms could be divided into smaller parts. He discovered electrons are negatively charged and his theory is called plum pudding a dessert in his day. It is important to todays theories because not only did he not study atoms but also discovered electrons are negatively charged and he also finded a way with rays to discover about electrons and how atoms can be seperated.
Term

Explain what each scientist contributed to science and why they were important to today theories?

Copernicus

Definition
Copernicus discovered the Heliocentric model which is a theory that the Sun is the center of the universe and the planets orbit around it. It is important to today's theories because he figured out that the sun is the center of the universe and the planets orbit around the Sun and how the Earth rotates.
Term

Explain what each scientist contributed to science and why they were important to today theories?

Term

Explain what each scientist contributed to science and why they were important to today theories?

Ptolenmy

Definition
Ptolenmy discovered the Geocentric model which is a theory that the Earth is the center of the universe. He is important to today's theories because we looked and see if the Earth is the center of the universe but that is false and that the Sun is the center of the universe.
Term

Explain what each scientist contributed to science and why they were important to today theories?

Bohr

Definition
Niels Bohr created the Bohr Model which states that electrons can only be found in certain energy levels and he also created the Bohr Model which relates to his theory. This is important to today's theories because Bohr's theory of energy levels is still used by scientists today.
Term

Explain what each scientist contributed to science and why they were important to today theories?

Galileo

Definition
Galileo discovered the causes of motion around the object. He also made a telescope 20 times view and discovered the moons of Jupiter. It is important to today's theories because he found out causes of motion of objects and made a telescope to look up close to planets and founded out the moons of Jupiter.
