bell ring/exam Flashcards
(150 cards)
physical changes
-Change of form or shape. (ripping paper, shaping clay)
-Change of state.
(Solid, liquid, gas)
-Dissolving.
(dissolving sugar can be reverse if it’s boiled)
Chemical Changes
New Color appears
Heat/Light produced (hot) or absorbed (cold).
Bubbles of gas are formed
A solid material precipitate.
(the solid substance that appears when specific two substances mix)
Difficult to reverse
reactants vs products
reactants r the elements that make the products
what’s a Cation
Lose electrons and have a positive net charge
what’s a Anions
Gain electrons and have a negative net charge
Reactivity of metals vs nonmetals in periods
Reactivity of metals increases from right to left. Reactivity of nonmetals increases from left to right.
Reactivity of metals vs nonmetals in groups
Reactivity of metals increases from the top to the bottom. Reactivity of nonmetals increases from the bottom to the top
4 examples of Renewable energy
-Solar
-Wind
-Tidal (Hydro)
-Biomass (if properly managed)
2 examples of non- renewable energy
Fossil Fuels (Natural gas, propane, coal, and petroleum)
Nuclear
what’s a Path
a complete trip to and from the cell(s) with no back or repeat step
Series Circuit vs Parallel
A Series Circuit is where charges have only 1 path to follow.
A Parallel Circuit is where charges have more than 1 path to follow
What happens when a load goes out in a parallel vs series circuit?
Series– All loads in the circuit will go out
Parallel circuits– All loads in the circuit will stay the same brightness
How are Ammeters connected
Series
How are Voltmeters connected
Parallel
If the Ammeter/Voltmeter shows a negative number what does that mean?
The wires were incorrectly connected and needed to be switched
If a circuit only has one load, how must it be wired
In series
what’s a Combination Circuit
Circuit in which it has both elements of series and parallel
Unsafe use of circuits can cause
Short circuiting
What safety device can be used when the current exceeds a safe limit
A fuse will heat up and melt (breaking the circuit)
Automatic fuses
Circuit breakers
Resistor
a device that reduces the current in a circuit
