8419328208ElementIs a pure substances that can not be boken down into other substances by chemical means( Gold, Helium, Mecuy, and Oxygen)1
8419367391ElementBasic Ingredintes of matter. The most complex forms of matter are made fom basic element that makeup Humans2
8419396186Four main elemnts to human lifeOxygen(O), Carbon(C) Hydrogen(H), and Nitrogen(N) equal about 96 Percent of human body.3
8419444639The rest of you bodyCalcuim(Ca), Phosphorus(P), Potassium(K), Sulfur(S) and a few others4
8419488943Trace ElementsMake up less than (0.01) of your body.5
8419534558Amount of Elements6
8419551670CompoundA substances contaning two or more elements that are physically combined in a fixed ratio. For example water(H2O) is a compound that contains the same amount ratio. ( Hydogen cmbined with oxygen)7
8419621268Elements and compounds differCompound is a mixtue or substances contaning two or more elements that are chemically combined, Elements are a pure substances on the other hand.8
8419658425Trace Elements in body0.15 milligrams of iodine which your thyroid needs. Iron makes up (0.004) percent of body mass. Copper, Fluoride, Manganese, and selenium.9
8419707549Ways to get all of bodies Trace ElementsA well balanced diet10
8419768080AtomsInvisible, Smallest paticle of an element. Carbon Atom is the smallest peice"11
8419834730Atom make upAtoms of all elements are made up of even smaller componetes, Called subatomic particles12
8419855024ProtonIs a subatomic particle with a single unit of postive electiacal charge(+)13
8419867976ElectronIs a subatomic particle witha single unit of a negative charge(-)14
8419884728NeutronIs a subatomic charge that has no electrical charge.15
8419906797NucleusAn atom's protons and neutrons are tightly packed together, Creating the central core.16
8419924242Helium atom17
8419938468Atomic NumberAll atoms of a particular element have the same numbe of protons18
8420028577IsotopesThe other fom of elements. Same amount of protons and Electrons but differnt number of Nuetrons.19
8420073148Radioactive IsotopesThe nucules decayes over time giving off radation. In the form of matter or energy.20
8420150809Atoms structure and reacting with other atomsElectons determine all of this. Electns differ in the amount of energy they have and how tight they are held in by proton in nucules.21
84202135153 Subatomic particles in an atomProtons, Electons, and Nuetrons are in the nucles while the electon wraps around them.22
8420285156What is an Isotope and explain how Radioactive isotopes are useful in ScienceIsotopes of an element have the same number of proton in their atom but differnt neutons. And RadioActive help sciecnce, Showing what happens to differnt atoms within an organism. Also show radioactive decay. And can be used in meds to show body scans23
8420409683Electron energy level24
8420419935Ionic BondsAtom transfer an electron to anothe atom.25
8420431618Covalent Bondstwo atoms share electrons26
8420509806Number of bondsThe number of bonds an atom can form usaly equals the higgestnumber of electrons that will fill its highest enegy level27
8420534704Number of bondsA hydogen atom can accept one additional28
8420628621Number of BondsIn contast, an oxygen atom can accept two electrons, in its hihest level, so it can form two bonds29
8420646682MoleculeTwo or more atoms held together by covlent bonds form a molecule.30
8420677551Chemical Formulatells you the number and types of atoms in a molecue31
8420743283Structural FormulaShow how atoms in a molecule are linked by bonds32
8420767023Space Filling MoeculesColered circles show atoms33
8420779981Chemical ReactionChanges which result in the fomation of one or more new substances ( Som echemical reactions release more energy than they release.34
8420809127ReactionsStarting materials for the reaction( Hydrogen and oxygen.)35
8420820110ProductEnding materials (water)36
8420839888Polar moleculeA molecule in which one side is more positive and the other side is more negative37
8421020810hydrogen bondweak attraction between a hydrogen atom and another atom38
8421020811CohesionAttraction between molecules of the same substance(stronger for water)39
8421020812AdhesionForce of attraction between different kinds of molecules40
8421020813thermal energyThe total energy of motion in the particles of a substance41
8421020814WaterIs resist to water42
8421020815TemperatureA measure of the average energy of motion of the particles of a substance.43
8421020816Density of iceA high density substance is more tightly packed. Than a low substance is. In most case the solid state is more dense than liquid state44
8421020817Density of IceIce less dense than liquid water which makes it float45
