3 most common forms of energy | Heat, light, and electricity |
Hydrocarbons (def) | Organic fuels that contain carbon & hydrogen |
Fossil Fuels (ex.) | Coal, Natural Gas, Oil |
Fossil Fuels (def) | Organic fuel made from the remains of plants & animals |
Location of Neutron in atom | Nucleus |
Location of Proton in atom | Nucleus |
Location of Electron in atom | Outside Nucleus |
Charge of Neutron | Neutral |
Charge of Proton | Positive |
Charge of Electron | Negative |
amu of a Proton | 1 amu |
amu of a Neutron | 1amu |
amu of an Electron | ~0amu |
Peat (def) | First stage in the formation of coal |
Petroleum (def) | Liquid Fossil fuels |
Bioconversion (def) | The conversion or processing of organic materials into fuels |
Bituminous coal (def) | 3rd step in coal formation, must be mined, most abundant form of coal in USA |
Lignite (def) | 2nd step in the formation of coal; must be mined; burns smokey & does not release a lot of energy |
Natural gas (def) | Cleanest burning fossil fuel, usually a mixture of methane, ethane, propane, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and helium |
Biomass fuels (def) | A fuel formed from the products of recently living organisms |
Biomass fuel ex. | Wood, methane, garbage, alcohol |
Ion (def) | Charged atom; formed by gaining or losing electrons |
Isotope (def) | Formed when there is a change in the number of neutrons in an atom |
What happens if the # of protons are changed in an atom? | Atom forms a different element |
How many protons and neutrons does Uranium have. Use the image,  | 92 Protons & 146 Neutrons (Atomic # = protons & Mass # - Atomic # = neutrons |
First scientist to use the word radioactivity to describe an element and won a Noble Prize for their work with these types of elements | Marie Curie |
Draw the 1st Atomic model (Dalton's) |  |
Draw the 2nd Atomic Model (Thompson's Plum Pudding) |  |
Draw the 3rd Atomic model |  |
Draw the 4th Atomic model (Rutherford ) |  |
Draw the current Atomic Model |  |
Explain how the current Quantum Model of the Atom is different from previous models | We can never know both the speed and location of an electron in an atom. Densest part of the orbital is where the greatest probability exists of finding an electron |
The biological activities that occur within the cells of organisms give rise to various __? | Chains of hydrocarbons |
Type of radiation that is a form of electromagnetic energy | Gamma particles |
A mixture of 90 percent gasoline to I0 percent ethanol | Gasohol |
Type of radiation made up of two protons and two neutrons | Alpha particles |
Location of an ocean thermal energy conversion system, or OTEC | Keyhole Pt. Hawaii |
