Explain the difference between a hypothesis and a theory.

A hypothesis is a tentative explanation for observations made and a theory is a unifying principle that explains a body of experimental observations and the laws that are based on them.

Briefly explain the relationship between hypothesis and experiment in the scientific method.

A hypothesis should be capable of leading to a prediction which is testable by experiment. If the experimental result differs from the prediction, the hypothesis should be modified.

Hypothesis

A tentative explanation that explains observations

Significant Figures in Addition and Subtraction

the answer cannot have more digits to the right of the decimal point than the original number with the smallest number of digits to the right of the decimal point.

Significant Figures in Multiplication and Division

the number of significant figures in the final product or quotient is determined by the original number that has the smallest number of significant figures.

Discuss the difference between the Celsius and Fahrenheit scale for measuring temperatures.

0°C = 32°F and 100°C = 212°F. To convert from °F to °C use the equation °C = (°F -32°F) x 5°C/9°F and to convert from °C to °F use the equation °F = [9°F/5°C](°C) + 32°F

Significant figures Rules

Any digit that is not zero is significant (112.1 has four significant figures). Zeros located between nonzero digits are significant (305 has three significant figures, and 50.08 has four significant figures). Zeros to the left of the first nonzero digit are not significant (0.0023 has two significant figures, and 0.000001 has one significant figure). Zeros to the right of the last nonzero digit are significant if the number contains a decimal point (1.200 has four significant figures Zeros to the right of the last nonzero digit in a number that does not contain a decimal point may or may not be significant (100 may have one, two, or three significant figures—it is impossible to tell without additional information. To avoid ambiguity in such cases, it is best to express such numbers using scientific notation Ex: 1.3 × 10^2 two significant figures 1.30 × 10^2 three significant figures

Significant figures

Are the meaningful digits in a reported number.

Valence electrons

Electrons far away from nucleus and in outermost shell Roman numeral numbers indicates its valence electrons

Dalton's Atomic Theory

Elements are composed of extremely small particles called atoms. All atoms of a given element are identical, having the same size, mass, and chemical properties. The atoms of one element are different from the atoms of all other elements. Compounds are composed of atoms of more than one element. In any given compound, the same types of atoms are always present in the same relative numbers. A chemical reaction rearranges atoms in chemical compounds; it does not create or destroy them.

Temperature

The Celsius scale was originally defined using the freezing point (0°C) and the boiling point (100°C) of pure water at sea level. The SI base unit of temperature is the kelvin. Kelvin is known as the absolute temperature scale, meaning that the lowest temperature possible is 0 K, a temperature referred to as "absolute zero."
