1

A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

electron

neutron

isotope

proton


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


2

80% Answer Correctly

electron

proton

neutron

atom


Solution

A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.

polyunsaturated

cholesterol

monounsaturated

saturated


Solution

4

The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?

77% Answer Correctly

seasons

tides

the northern lights

day and night cycle


Solution

Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.


5

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:

74% Answer Correctly

conduction

reflection

refraction

convection


Solution

Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.
