QUESTIONS FULLY CORRECT
⫸ A ZERO is not a significant figure if ------> Answer: - if its at the
beginning of a decimal number
- A placeholder in a large number without a decimal point
⫸ What happens during alpha decay? Answer: The mass number of the
isotope produced decreases by four and the atomic number decreases by
two.
Mass number -4
Atomic number -2
⫸ What are isotopes Answer: They are atoms with identical atomic
numbers but with different mass numbers. ( atoms with the same number
of protons but different number of neurons.)
⫸ Elements Answer: Pure substances that consist of only one type of an
atom.
, ⫸ Gamma Decay Answer: Will not change the mass number or the
atomic number of the product.
⫸ Physical Change Answer: Does not change the composition or
identity of a substance
Example: Change of state, temp changes, dissolving
⫸ Mass Answer: The amount of material (matter) in a substance.
⫸ What does the nucleus of an atom contain? Answer: Protons and
neutrons
⫸ AMU mean ---> Answer: Atomic Mass Unit
⫸ Which state of matter has the lowest kinetic energy? Answer: Solids
⫸ What does a chemical formula tell you? Answer: The type and
number of elements that make up that compound
⫸ Can an element be separated into different substances? Answer: No
⫸ What are the first three forms of radiation and what charge is each?
Answer: Alpha- Positively Charged
Beta- Negatively Charged
