What are metalloids?

Back

Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They are found along the staircase line on the periodic table.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined. It determines the object's acceleration.

Front

What is the force on an object due to gravity called?

The force on an object due to gravity is called weight.

Front

Which atomic particle has a negative electrical charge?

Back

The electron has a negative electrical charge.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Front

What are the three main types of chemical bonds?

Back

The three main types of chemical bonds are ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a chemical bond formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

What is the role of neutrons in an atom?

Back

Neutrons are neutral particles in the nucleus of an atom that contribute to the atomic mass and stability of the nucleus.

Front

What is the periodic table?

Back

The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of elements organized by increasing atomic number, showing periodic trends in properties.
