What are extensive properties? Properties that depend on sample size like mass or
volume.
What are intensive properties? Properties that do NOT depend on sample size like density
or temperature.
What's accuracy? What's precision? Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the true value.
Precision is how close measurements are to each other.

What's relative average error? What's relative average deviation? Relative average error refers
to the average difference between a measurement and its true value. Relative average deviation
refers to the average difference of measurements from each other.
A data set is accurate if the average measurements are close to the true value.
What are conversion factors made from? Equality statements...e.g. 2.54 cm. =1 in 1 in.
What are the steps for converting degrees C to degrees F? 1. Convert C to F using the equality
statement/conversion factor 1 C = 1.8 F.
2. Add 32 F to the result of step 1.
What are the steps for converting degrees F to degrees C? 1. Subtract 32 F.
2. Convert F to C using the equality statement/conversion factor 1 C = 1.8 F.
What does it mean that an isotope is stable? It is not radioactive... Po and beyond have
radioactive isotopes.
What does it mean that an atom is fissile? The atom can undergo nuclear fission.
Is there a such thing as a normal isotope? No, for example C-12, C-13, and C-14 are all
isotopes.
