36
Name two nuclear fuels
Uranium and plutonium (Both of which are radioactive metals)
37
Fossil fuels
Formed from the remains of an ancient plants or animals. Examples of coal, crude oil and natural gas.
38
Biofuels
Any fuel taking from living or recently living organisms?
39
Wind
A turbine uses the force of wind
40
Wave
Waze are used to make a floating generator, move up and down
41
Hydroelectric
Uses the power of floating water to turn turbines
42
Tidal
Traps water from each high tide behind a barrage, the high tide can then be released into see-through turbines
43
Solar
Solar cells and solar panels are the sons energy to generate electricity or heat water
44
Geothermal
You just some energy from hot rocks beneath the earths surface to turn turbines
45
Particle model
Away to think about how substances behave, in terms a small, moving particles
46
Gas pressure
Caused by collisions of particles of the walls of the container
47
Density
How much matter that is in a particular volume or how close the particles are?
48
Evaporate
Change from liquid to gas at the temperature surface of a liquid at any temperature
49
Boil
Change from a liquid to a gas all the liquid when the temperature reaches boiling point
50
Condense
Change of state from gas to liquid when the temperature dropped to the boiling point
51
Melt
Change from solid to liquid when the temperature rises to the melting point
52
Freeze
Change from a liquid to a solid when the temperature drops to the melting point
53
Sublime
Change from a solid directly into a gas
54
Melting point
Temperature when a solid becomes a liquid
55
Boiling point
Temperature when a liquid becomes a gas
56
Solution
Mixture formed when a solvent dissolves a solute
57
Solubility
A measure of how much is substance, dissolves in a certain volume of solvent
58
Filtration
Separating substances using a filter to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid
59
Density (g/cm3) =
mass (g) / volume (cm3)
60
What will An object less dense than water do?
Float
