Front

What is frequency in relation to waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in a specific amount of time, usually measured in Hertz (Hz). Higher frequency means more waves in a given time.

Front

How does amplitude affect the energy of a wave?

Back

Amplitude is the height of the wave. Higher amplitude means more energy; thus, a wave with a higher amplitude carries more energy than one with a lower amplitude.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related. As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa.

Front

Define a molecule.

Back

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound.

Front

What is the difference between an element and a compound?

Back

An element is a pure substance made of only one type of atom, while a compound is made of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together.

Front

What does a ball-and-stick model represent in chemistry?

Back

A ball-and-stick model visually represents the arrangement of atoms in a molecule and the bonds between them.

Front

What is energy in the context of waves?

Back

Energy in waves refers to the capacity to do work, which is carried by the wave as it travels through a medium.

Front

Explain the concept of amplitude in waves.

Back

Amplitude is the maximum extent of a wave's displacement from its rest position. It is related to the energy of the wave.

Front

What is the significance of a higher frequency wave?

Back

A higher frequency wave has more energy and can carry more information, making it useful in various applications like communication.

Front

What is a chemical bond?

Back

A chemical bond is the force that holds atoms together in a molecule, which can be ionic, covalent, or metallic.
