berg)Question and verified Answers 2025
1. Inorganic compounds: Small, simple substances; water, many simple acids and
bases, and simple salts.
2. Organic compounds: Carbon-containing compounds that are large and complex. In
all but the simplest organic compounds, two or more carbon atoms are bonded to
each other to form backbone, or skeleton, of the molecule.
3. Elements: Are substances that Connor be broken down into simpler substances by
ordinary chemical reactions.
4. Chemical symbols: The first letter or first and second letters of the English or Latin
name of the element.
5. What composes more than 96% of the mass of organisms?: Four elements-
oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
6. What elements are consistently present but in smaller elements?: Elements like
calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium.
7. Trace elements: Elements such as iodine and copper because they are required in
minute amounts.

9. Atom: The smallest portion of an element that retains the chemical properties.
10. Matter: Are tiny particles (anything that has mass and takes up space) known as
subatomic particles.
11. 3 subatomic particles: Electrons, protons, and neutrons
12. Electron: Carries units of negative electric charge
13. Proton: Carries units of positive electric charge
14. Neutron: An uncharged particle
15. What is in the nucleus of an atom?: Protons and neutrons; electrons move rapidly
through the empty space surrounding the atomic nucleus.
16. Atomic number: Fixed number of protons in the atomic nucleus, which determines
an atom's identity and element.
17. Periodic table: Chart of elements arranged in order by atomic number.
18. Electron configurations: Bohr models shows the electrons arranged in a series of
concentric circles around the nucleus, convenient but inaccurate.
