You should know all of these words like the back of your hand!!!

AB
Atomic Massthe total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
Atomic Numberthe number of protons in the nucleus
Atomthe smallest particle into which an element can be divided and still be the same substance
Dalton's Atomic TheoryAll substances are made of atoms, atoms are small particles that cannot be created, divided, or destroyed, atoms of the same element are exactly alike, and atoms of different elements are different, and atoms join with other atoms to make new substances.
Halogensvery reactive group of gases located on the right of the periodic table
Metalloidshave properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Noble GasesGroup of unreactive nonmetals.
Reactiveto undergo a chemical change
Controlled Experimenta control group, an experimental group, and a variable.
Balanced Forcesproduce a net force of zero
Air ResistanceFluid friction
Control of Variableschange one variable in an experiment and all the other variables stay the same in the experiment
MotionAny change in position over time
Densitythe amount of matter in a given space
PressureThat amount of force applied to a surface
Unbalanced forcescreate movement
Newtonunit of force or weight
Accelerationa change in velocity created by an object speeding up, slowing down or changing direction
Velocityspeed in a particular direction
Gravitya force between objects that depends on their masses
Phase Changewhen a substance changes state for example water freezing.
Periodicwhen something happens in a repeating pattern
Rolling Frictionthe friction between wheels and a surface
Analyzeto look ant information and figure out what it means
Deriveto discover by looking at other things. The classroom definition is that the property of the substance can be discovered by using math.
Sublimationchange of state that goes from a solid to a gas.
Pure Substanceall of the particles in a substance are the same.
Atomic Theorythe idea that everything is made up of tiny particles called atoms that combine with other atoms to make new things.
