Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
vector quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
|
composite quantities |
|
scalar quantities |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?
products |
|
ions |
|
isotopes |
|
reactants |
The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.
Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?
atom |
|
neutron |
|
element |
|
molecule |
An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.
__________ is caused by a lack of Vitamin C.
diabetes |
|
shingles |
|
anemia |
|
scurvy |
Scurvy is a difficiency disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C in the diet.
Which of the following substances gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water?
alkaline |
|
acid |
|
base |
|
solution |
An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
