What are the particles in a solid like?
Particles are packed tightly together in rows. They can vibrate but not move.
What are the particles in a liquid like?
Particles are close together but can move freely.
What are the particles in a gas like?
Particles in a gas are far apart and they move quickly.
What are the three particles of an atom?
Protons, neutrons, and elctrons
What is the shell?
Outer part of the atom
What is the nucleus?
Is the protons and neutrons inside of the atom
What is the electrons?
Is negatively charged and exists on the shell.
What is the neutrons?
They are neutral and is next to the protons on the inside of the atom. Part of the nucleus.
What is the protons?
Protons are positively charged and is part of the nucleus.`
Can the number of protons, neutrons and elctrons vary?
Yes as this is what makes elements different from each other.
What does the atomic number equal?
Number of protons
What two things does the number of protons equal?
Atomic number and number of electons
How do you find the number of neutrons?
Mass number- number of protons.
What is the gas test for oxygen?
The test for oxygen is whether it relights a glowing splint.
What is the gas test for hydrogen?
Hydrogen explodes with a pop when it is tested with a lit splint.
What is the test for carbon dioxide?
Turns lime water cloudy.
Where is carbon found?
In all living things, ocean, air, rocks.
Does carbon stay in the same place? if not why?
Carbon dioxide is incorporated into living tissue through photosynthesis and it is returned to the atmosphere through resperation, the decay of dead organisms and the burning of fossil fuels.
What is the balance of gases in the air?
Made up of different gases but mostly nitrogen.
What does the air contain
78% nitrogen
21% oxygen
0.9% argon
0.04% carbon dioxide
