Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
electron shells |
|
atomic mass units |
|
electrons |
|
protons |
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 the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
I biome is made up of naturally occurring flora and fauna. Fauna is which of the following?
minerals |
|
animals |
|
plants |
|
habitats |
A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?
sedimentation |
|
photosynthesis |
|
evaporation |
|
decomposition |
The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.
Which of the following substances gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water?
ion |
|
acid |
|
base |
|
hydrogen |
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.
