|
mechanical waves |
require media. |
|
types of mechanical waves |
longitudinal (ex sound) |
|
longitudinal waves |
particles of the medium dont move, just oscillate. |
|
transverse waves |
medium moves from side to side. |
|
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 |
|
how to solve for wavelength |
velocity / frequency |
|
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) |
|
exothermic |
feels hot |
|
endothermic |
feels cold |
