AC current
Definition
is current from power companies in AC and is produced by generators, it changes directions over and over. The electrons vibrate back and forth 120 times per second or 60 cycle sec.
Term
Atom
Definition
the smallest part of an element that has all the properties of that element.
Term
CH^4
Definition
methane
Term
Co^2
Definition
carbon dioxide
Term
Conservation of charge
Definition
a fundamental law of nature, states the electric charge cannot be created or destroyed. Everything contains a positive and negative charge. Something is neutral if +=-. Electric discharge- the process of balancing electrical charges.
Term

Co^2--- carbon dioxide
Term
DC current
Definition
is current flowing steadily in one direction (battery)
Term
Democritus
Definition
suggested that the world was made of 2 things.
1. empty space 2. particles he called “atoms”
He believed that matter was continuous and not made up of smaller particles. He called this continuous substance hyle. Unfortunately this was accepted until the 17th Century.
Term
Dry cell
Definition
an electric cell that contains a paste live electrolyte (flashlight batteries)
Term
Electric current
Definition
the flow of electrons. 6.24 X 10^18 electrons moving through a piece of wire in one second to make an amp
Term
Electrical discharge
Definition
the process of balancing electrical charges. Ex of this is lighting
Term
Four simple facts behind the miracle of life
Definition
1. Ice floats
2. Night sky is dark
3. Proton #=electron #
4. We have the right kind of sun
Term
Gravitational force
Definition
weakest of the four forces every particle feels the force of gravity, according to its mass and energy. Can act over a large distance and is always attractive.
Term
How does this polarity explain water’s characteristics?
Definition
Water is a liquid at normal temperatures(one of the very few)
Water does not evaporate quickly
Water is polar
Ice floats in liquid water
Water is less dense as it approaches freezing (expands when it freezes)
Term

CaCO^3---calcuim carbonate
Term
Isotopes
Definition
Atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses. Due to their atoms having different atomic masses.
Term
Law of conservation of energy
Definition
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can be changed from one form to another.
Term
Law of conservation of matter
Definition
Matter cannot be created nor destroyed
Term
Law of conservation of matter and energy
Definition
Matter can be converted to energy and vice versus
Term
Molecule
Definition
two or more atoms chemically bonded together
Term
NaOH
Definition
sodium hydroxide
Term
The big rule of electric charge
Definition
protons repel, electrons repel and opposites attract
Term
Wet cell
Definition
all electric cell that contain a liquid electrolyte (car battery)
Term
aluminum
Definition
Al
Term
boiling
Definition
matter changing from a liquid to a gas
Term
characteristics of covalent compounds
Definition
low melting point, do not conduct electricity, usually brittle solids
Term
characteristics of ionic compounds
Definition
high melting point, conduct electricity in a solution or molten form, definite crystal shape
Term
chemical change
Definition
occurs when a chemical reaction takes place and something new is formed.
Term
chlorine
Definition
is a nonmetal and it gains one electron and becomes negative
Term
compound
Definition
two or more different substances chemically bonded together. They have a definite composition and can only be separated by chemical means
Term
condensation
Definition
matter changing from a gas to a liquid
Term
covalent
Definition
bonds that form as a result of atoms sharing electrons to become more stable
Term
gas
Definition
matter that has no definite shape or volume. No attraction between molecules and individual atoms
Term
ionic bonds
Definition
bonds that form as a result of atoms becoming ions and are drawn together by their opposite charges.
Term
liquid
Definition
matter that takes the shape of its container. Atoms and molecules are held together by bonds and intermolecular force
Term
melting
Definition
process by which matter goes from a solid to a liquid
Term
mixture
Definition
a blend of substances they are not chemically bonded and can be separated by physical means.
Term
physical change
Definition
only changes the appearance of the matter. Does not change the matter itself.
Term
physical change
Definition
melting, boiling, condensation, sublimation
Term
physical properities of matter
Definition
malleability, ductility, conductivity, melting point, boiling point.
Term
plasma
Definition
matter that is very hot, usually 5000 degree c or above usually exist as very hot gases atoms and molecules have lost electrons are now ions. Ex. Sun and stars
Term
sodium
Definition
is a metal and it loses one electron and becomes positive
Term
solid
Definition
matter that has a definite shape and volume atoms and molecules are close together but can move and vibrate.
Term
sublimination
Definition
matter changing directly from a solid to a gas
Term
what are the other forces of nature
Definition
3. Gravitational force, electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force, strong nuclear force
Term
why is water a polar molecule
Definition
The bonds between the hydrogen atoms and the oxygen atom are covalent. The oxygen atom has a stronger pull on the pairs of electrons being shared therefore the electron pairs are pulled toward the oxygen. This makes the oxygen side partially negative and the hydrogen side partially positive. This creates a intermolecular force between water molecules thus drawing them together.
