Match the following

Terms and Definitions

• Valence Shell

• The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus

• Atomic Number

• An energy level of electrons at a characteristic average distance from the nucleus of an atom

• Orbital

• The outermost energy shell of an atom

• Electron Shell

• Mass Number

• The three dimensional space where an electron is found 90% of the time

A type of weak chemical bond that is formed when the slightly positive hydrogen atom of a polar covalent bond in one molecule is attracted to the slightly negative atom of a polar covalent bond in another molecule or in another region of the same molecule.

• Chemical bond

• Ionic bond

• Covalent bond

• Hydrogen bond

The making and breaking of chemical bonds, leading to changes in the composition of matter

• Chemical reaction

• Chemical equilibrium

• Physical reaction

• Chemical bond

Match the following

Terms and Definitions

• Ion

• The total mass of an atom, numerically equivalent to the mass in grams of 1 mole of the atom

• Covalent bond

• Any substance that cannot be broken down to any other substance by chemical reactions

• Element

• A type of strong chemical bond in which two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons

• Compound

• An atom or group of atoms that has gained or lost one or more electrons, thus acquiring a charge

• Atomic mass

• A substance consisting of two or more different elements combined in a fixed ratio

A measure of mass for atoms and subatomic particles; the same as atomic mass unit or amu.

• Element

• Gram

• Dalton

• Kelvin

NGSS.HS-PS1-7

In a chemical reaction, the state in which the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction, so that the relative concentrations of the reactants and products do not change with time.

• Chemical reaction

• Chemical bond

• Chemical equilibrium

• Covalent bond

Identify the independent variable:

What effect does high temperature have on radish germination?

Answer explanation

The independent variable is the one that is intentionally changed in an experiment.
