smothers the person to keep oxygen from continuing to fuel the fire.

mechanical waves

require media.

types of mechanical waves

longitudinal (ex sound)
transverse (ex ocean)

longitudinal waves

particles of the medium dont move, just oscillate.

transverse waves

medium moves from side to side.
wave shaped like S (tranSverSe).

compressions

increase in density from waves

rarefactions

decrease in density from waves

electromagnetic waves

dont require a medium, but can use it if its there.

list waves from least to most energetic

radio, micro, infra, light, x, gamma

trough

the bottom of the wave

crest

the top of the wave

wavelength

distance from one part of a wave to the corresponding part of the same wave.

waves

disturbances of vibrations that carry energy from place to place. not matter.

how to solve for period

1 / frequency

how to solve for frequency

1 / period
velocity / wavelength

how to solve for wavelength

velocity / frequency
lamda (upside-down y) = wavelength

how to solve for velocity

frequency x wavelength

atomic number =

number of protons

number of protons =

# of electrons in a NEUTRAL atom. also = atomic #

if protons and electrons are not equal, then

the atom is charged, called an Ion.

if you gain an electron you are

more negative

if you lose an electron you are

more positive

protons + neutrons =

mass number

2 atoms with the same number or protons but different neutrons =

isotope

average mass of all isotopes

atomic mass

valance electrons

electrons on outer energy lever. count to 8. in families 1, 2, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 & 18.

octet rule

atoms will gain, lose or share electrons to have the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas.

law of conservation of mass

mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction, just reorganized.

oxidation number

apparent sum of the charges of an atom in a compound. the # of electrons that an element would either gain of lose if in an ionic bond and the resulting charge. Metals tend to have positive oxidation #s, the opposite for non metals.

diatomic elements

H (hydrogen)
N (nitrogen)
Cl (chlorine)
Br (bromine)
I (iodine)
At (astatine)
O (oxygen)
F (flourine)

exothermic

feels hot

endothermic

feels cold
