16
Q

Special microscopes use what to show the arrangement of atoms?

17
Q

What is the name of the microscope that uses a needle that is so sensitive that it can show single atoms?

A

The scanning tunneling microscope

18
Q

What is matter made of?

19
Q

Which element is most likely to be dull? Carbon, Aluminum, Mercury, or Sodium

A

Carbon because it is a nonmetal

20
Q

What are the properties of metals?

A

Shiny, luster, conductivity, and flexibility

21
Q

What are the properties of nonmetals?

A

Poor conductivity, dull, and brittle

22
Q

Be able to list the properties of elements.

A

One important property of elements is the state of matter at room temperature (solid, gases, or liquid). Another property of elements is the way they combine with other elements.

23
Q

What makes up an atom?

A

An atom is made up of the NUCLEUS (the center of the atom) which includes PROTONS and NEUTRONS and ELECTRONS which move within the space outside the nucleus.

24
What charge do the protons have?
They have a positive electric charge.
25
What charge do the neutrons have?
They have NO electric charge.
26
What charge do the electrons have?
They have a negative electric charge.
27
Where are the protons located?
In the nucleus of an atom.
28
Where are the neutrons located?
In the nucleus of an atom.
29
Where are the electrons located?
Within the space outside the nucleus of an atom.
30
How do you find the atomic number of an element?
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in it. ????
31
Be able to explain why atoms usually have no charge.
Usually the number of electrons and protons are equal, so atoms have no overall charge.
32
How do you find the atomic mass unit or amu of an element?
To find the amu of an element, you add the number of protons and neutrons together.
33
Be able to find the atomic mass unit of an element.
P. 26 - 27
34
Where do atoms link to form molecules?
When a molecule forms from elements, atoms link together through their electrons.
35
How are elements classified in the periodic table?
There are four classification on the periodic table - metal, metalloid, nonmetal, and artificial.
36
Be able to read a box from the periodic table and answer questions.
P. 26-27. 1. Element Name 2. Element Symbol 3. Atomic Number
37
Know what an electron microscope examines.
Special electron microscopes use electrons instead of light particles to examine a sample. They can show single atoms, or the arrangement of atoms.
