Hypothesis - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔a small statement that you can test
Theory - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔broader in scope than a hypothesis and can lead
to a new testable hypothesis; supported by a large body of evidence in
comparison to a hypothesis
Deductive - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Testing what you think is true; Design, Test,
Conclusion
Inductive - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔making observations and solution from that
observation; All observations have the same result.
, Valence - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Outer shell of electrons; the number of unpaired
electrons in the valence shell of an atom is generally equal to its valence
(the # of covalent bonds it can form)
Atomic mass - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the atom's total mass, which can be
approximated by the mass number
Mass number - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the sum of protons and neutrons in the
nucleus
Atomic number - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the number of protons in an element
Isotopes - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔two atoms of an element that differ in the
number of neutrons
Radioactive isotopes - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔decay spontaneously, giving off
particles and energy
Hydrogen bonds - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔forms when a hydrogen atom covalently
bonded to one electronegative atom is also attracted to another
electronegative atom
covalent bonds - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Strongest bonds in organisms are
_______ ________ that form a cell's molecules.
