Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
electrons |
|
atomic mass units |
|
protons |
|
electron shells |
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
|
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
In the heart, blood flows from the right __________ to the lungs then back to the heart via the left __________.
ventricle, atrium |
|
ventricle, ventricle |
|
atrium, ventricle |
|
atrium, atrium |
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?
covalent |
|
ionic |
|
chemical |
|
acidic |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. 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.
The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:
blood type |
|
universal recipient status |
|
postive or negative |
|
universal donor status |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
