Q

What did J.J. Thomson discover, which disproved the idea that atoms are indivisible?

17
Q

Who created the plum-pudding model?

18
Q

Who was a British chemist who experimented with different substances and published an atomic theory?

19
Q

Who found that electrons move in paths, or energy levels?

20
Q

An atom’s atomic number is also… (2 things)

A
  1. The number of protons in an atom

2. The number of neutrons in an atom (assuming the atom has no overall charge)

21
Q

How do you find the mass number of an atom?

A

Add the number of protons and the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

22
Q

If there is an element J-37, what is 37?

A

The element’s atomic mass/mass number

23
Q

If two atoms are isotopes, then ____

A

They have the same number of protons (and therefore the same element) but a different number of neutrons (and thus a different mass number)

24
Q

What is the atomic mass of an element?

A

The average mass number of all naturally occurring isotopes of an element.

25
Atom : mass number :: element : ____
Atomic mass
26
Theory
An explanation for some phenomenon based on observation, experimentation, and reason, but cannot be proven.
27
What are the steps of the scientific method?
1. Ask a question 2. Form a hypothesis 3. Test the hypothesis 4. Analyze the data 5. Draw conclusions 6. Communicate results.
28
What are the steps of the engineering design process?
1. Identify a problem and research a need 2. Imagine - develop possible solutions 3. Plan - Build a prototype 4. Create - Test and evaluate the prototype 5. Improve - Modifying the prototype and retesting it
29
What is the independent variable of an experiment?
The factor that purposely varies throughout each experimental group in the experiment in order to test a hypothesis.
30
What is the dependent variable of an experiment?
The result or effect of the independent variable; the outcome that depends on the variable.
