In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:
atomic number |
|
group |
|
family |
|
period |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
Which of the following is not a base unit in the metric system?
degree Fahrenheit |
|
liter |
|
meter |
|
gram |
The Fahrenheit scale is used for measuring temperature in the British system. The metric system uses the Celsius scale.
Work is measured in:
amps |
|
watts |
|
horsepower |
|
joules or newton-meters |
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?
kinetic |
|
gravitational |
|
inherent |
|
potential |
Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
