with answers |\
matter - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔anything that takes up
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
space and has mass |\ |\ |\
element - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔substance that cannot
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
be broken down to other substances
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
compound - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔a substance |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
consisting of two or more elements in a fixed ratio |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
emergent properties - CORRECT ANSWERS |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔characteristics specific to an element |\ |\ |\ |\
essential elements - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔elements |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
that are required for life
|\ |\ |\ |\
trace elements - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔elements that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
are only required in small quantities for life
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
atom - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the smallest unit of matter
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
that still retains the properties of an element
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
,subatomic particles - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
components of an atom |\ |\ |\
neutrons - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔a subatomic particle
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
with no charge that is located in the atomic nucleus
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
protons - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔a subatomic particle
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
with a positive charge located in the atomic nucleus (ex:
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
carbon always has 6 protons) |\ |\ |\ |\
electrons - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔a subatomic particle
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
with a negative charge located in electron shells (electron
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
cloud)
|\
daltons - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the unit of measure for
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
an atom's mass. calculated by neutron mass+ proton
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
mass. electrons have a negligible amount of mass, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
therefore do not contribute to the calculation|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
atomic # - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔number of protons in
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the nucleus
|\
mass # - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the sum of protons and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
neutrons
, atomic mass - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the atoms total
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
mass, can be approximated by the mass #
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
isotopes - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔two atoms of an
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
element with the same # of protons, but a different # of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
neutrons
radioactive isotopes - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔isotopes|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
that will decay spontaneously giving off particles and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
energy
half-life - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the time it takes for a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
radioactive isotope (the parent isotope) to decay hald
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
way to the daughter isotope (ex: for the parent isotope to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
reach 50% concentration)
|\ |\
radiometric dating - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔using |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
radioactive isotopes to measure how old something is by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
comparing the parent isotope concentration to the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
daughter concentration |\
energy - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the capacity to cause
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
change
