A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
proton |
|
atom |
|
neutron |
|
electron |
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
An electrically charged atom is a(n):
electron |
|
ion |
|
proton |
|
neutron |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
plasma |
|
gas |
|
liquid |
|
solid |
The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
Which of blood component allows blood to clot?
platelets |
|
plasma |
|
white blood cells |
|
red blood cells |
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
A __________ is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound.
molecule |
|
isotope |
|
ion |
|
neutron |
A molecule is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound. The molecules of elements consist of two or more similar atoms, the molecules of compounds consist of two or more different atoms.
