Albert Einstien

Why can't atoms be seen with a powerful optical microscope?

Atoms are much smaller than a wavelength of light.

What is a mixture? Cite two examples.

Atoms pressed together without bonding: air and salt and sand

What are the five most common elements in humans?

C, H, O, N, and Ca

What causes dust particles and tiny grains of soot to move with Brownian motion?

Collisions with invisible molecules

What is the evidence that dark matter exists?

Gravitational forces within galaxies are too great to be accounted for with ordinary matter.

Which of the following is an inert gas?

Helium

What element has the lightest atoms?

Hydrogen

What is the most abundant element in the known universe?

Hydrogen

Where in the atom is most of its mass concentrated? What is this mass composed of?

In the nucleus as protons and neutrons

How does one isotope differ from another?

It has a different number of neutrons.

How does the electric charge of a proton compare with the electric charge of an electron?

It is equal and opposite.

Distinguish between mass number and atomic mass.

Mass number is the number of nucleons; atomic mass is the total mass of an atom.

Most are older than the Sun

How are most of the elements with nuclei heavier than those of hydrogen and helium formed?

Nuclear fusion in stars

Where did the heaviest elements originate?

Nuclear fusion in supernovae

The number of protons in its nucleus

Compared with the energy it takes to separate oxygen and hydrogen from water, how much energy is released when they recombine?

The same amount of energy

Why can atoms be seen with an electron beam?

The wavelength of the electrons is smaller than an atom.

What occurs when a proton and an antiproton meet?

They annihilate each other.

an electrical force

Which of the following is NOT a mixture?

beach sand air granite cake none of the above

A pair of helium nuclei fused together produces

beryllium

Heavy atoms are not appreciably larger in size than light atoms because the nuclei of heavy atoms have more

electric charge

Although solid matter is mostly empty space, we don't fall through the floor because of

electrical forces

The chemical properties of matter are due mostly to their

electrons

The volume of matter is due mostly to its

electrons

To become a negative ion, does an atom lose or gain an electron?

gain

An isotope is simply an atom that

has different numbers of neutrons for the same element.

The electrical force is stronger between the nucleus and an inner electron for atoms of

high atomic number

Which of these has the greatest number of protons in its nucleus?

lead

To become a positive ion, does an atom lose or gain an electron?

lose

Which of the following statements is true?

molecules are the smallest subdivision of matter that still retain a substance's chemical properties

A granite block is mostly empty space because the atoms in the granite are

mostly empty space themselves

The charge in the nucleus of an antimatter hydrogen atoms is

negative

Which of the following are electrically neutral?

neutrons

If no molecules in a body could escape, would the body have any odor?

no

Mass number refers to the number of

nucleons in the nucleus.

The number of protons in a neutral atom is balanced by an equal number of

orbital electrons

Dark matter is considered to be

plentiful in the universe

An element is distinct because of its number of

protons

The mass of matter is due mostly to its

protons

Atomic number refers to the number of

protons in the nucleus

Which is the smallest particle?

quark

What element results if two protons and two neutrons are ejected from a radium nucleus?

radon

When carbon and oxygen atoms combine, energy is

released by the reaction
