Describe the theory of relativity. - answer That matter and energy are interchangeable

Who developed the theory of relativity? - answer Albert Einstein

What is the formula for Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation? - answer Energy
(E) = mass (m) x speed of light in a vacuum (c)^2

Define matter. - answer Anything that occupies space and has mass
- The material substance that composes physical objects

Is mass the same as weight? Why or why not? - answer No, mass is not the same as
weight because weight includes the gravitational pull on the object as well.

List the structures of matter from smallest to largest. - answer1) Atom, 2) Element, 3)
Molecules, 4) Chemical compounds

What is an atom? - answer An atom is the building blocks of matter. It is the smallest
particle of any matter that has the properties of an element.

What is an element? - answerAn element is any quantity of identical atoms that
combine to form a particular element

What is a chemical compound? - answerA chemical compound is any quantity of one
type of molecule.

answerThey stand for how many electron shells the atoms have and there are seven of
them.

What do the groups (columns) stand for in the periodic table? How many are there? -
answerThey stand for how many electrons are in the outer shell and there are eight of
them.

In what year did J.J. Thomson develop his atomic model? - answerThe specific year is
not know but it is within the 1890's.

What was new about the Thomson atom? - answerHis atom was the first to mention
anything about electric charges, both of the negative electrons and the positive charges.

Describe J.J. Thomson's atomic model. - answerThis model was also called the plum
pudding model because Thomson believed that the electrons were like the plums in the
pudding, spread out through a mass of positive electrification.

Thomson believed ___ and ___ were equal. - answerThe number of electrons and the
quantity of positive electrical charge.

In what year what the Thomson atom disproved and by whom? - answer1911 by Ernest
