The distance between the two crest of a wave is the ? - Answers Wavelength
The top of a wave is called? - Answers Crest
The bottom of the wave is called? - Answers Trough
Frequency is what? - Answers The number of cycles that the wave makes every second
On the electromagnetic spectrum the frequency goes left to right doing what? - Answers Increasing
Democritus stated what? - Answers The idea that substances can only be broken down so far
Who made the periodic table? - Answers Dmitri Mendeleev
Atoms are made up of what? - Answers Electrons, Neutrons, and protons
The atomic mass is arranged on the periodic table go left to right does what? - Answers Increases
Column 18 are what? - Answers Noble gasses and they do not like to combine easily
The majority of the mass of an atom lie where? - Answers The nucleus
The electrons found on the outside of nucleus are called what? - Answers Electron Cloud
Electrons exists in what? - Answers Energy shells or electron shells
If Coulombs law were the only force acting on a nucleus what would happen? - Answers It would fly
apart, because there needs to be another force present in the nucleus.
H20 is what kind of bond? - Answers A chemical bond and it is a COVALENT BOND.
Electrons in subshells have? - Answers An exact amount of energy
A photon is what? - Answers A packet of energy
The frequency corresponds to what? - Answers Energy
Each valence shell only allows? - Answers Certain energies
The energy that the electron gives up comes out of the atom as a? - Answers Photon
Three types of chemical bonds? - Answers Ionic, Metallic, covalent
What bond is the transfer of electron results in oppositely charged ions? - Answers Ionic bond /
example table salt
What bond is when two metallic atoms are close to each other? - Answers Metallic bond
What bond are electrons shared between two atoms? - Answers Covalent bond
What bond Is it when H bonds covalently with another element? - Answers Hydrogen Bond

Solid and liquid substances have? - Answers Shape and a volume
Increasing a solids temperature will break the intermolecular bonds and the substance will? -
Answers Liquify, that temperature is called the melting point
Increasing the temperature of a liquid is? - Answers The boiling point , the molecular bonds break
down further and the substance becomes a gas
When two substances combine to make a new substance is called? - Answers Chemical reaction
Exothermic ? - Answers Release energy , example is a fire
