In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?
chemical |
|
acidic |
|
ionic |
|
covalent |
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.
Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?
water |
|
metal |
|
air |
|
vacuum |
The speed of a sound wave will vary with the medium. Sound travels fastest through media that has particles that are very close together, like metal. Thus, it travels faster through water than through air and doesn't travel at all through a vacuum (there are no particles in empty space to vibrate).
Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?
products |
|
isotopes |
|
ions |
|
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 these is not a component of blood?
red blood cells |
|
marrow |
|
white blood cells |
|
plasma |
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.
