- Q1In a solution, the parts of the solution are mixedphysicallyby electronic meansonly in waterchemically30sS8P1a
- Q2What is the difference between an element and a compound?A compound is represented by a single letter, an element is two or more different lettersA compound can be found on the periodic table, an element is not found there.Compound is a pure substance of only one kind of atom, an element is two of mor different compounds bonded togetherElement is a pure substance of only one kind of atom, a compound is two or more different elements bonded together30sS8P1a
- Q3Using the diagram, what is true about matter as it changes states?As matter moves from solid to gas, atoms speed up and spread out.As matter moves from gas to solid, it gains atoms as they multiply.As matter moves from liquid to solid, atoms spread out.As matter moves from solid to gas, atoms slow down and compact.30sS8P1b
- Q4What is the difference between a chemical and a physical change?A chemical change is irreversible and a physical change is reversibleA chemical change does not produce a new substance, and a physical change DOES produce a new substanceDuring a chemical change, the substance stays the same.A chemical change does not change the arrangement of atoms and a physical change DOES change the arrangement of atoms.30sS8P1c
- Q5What must be true for a chemical equation to be balanced?All the same elements are present on each side of the equationThe exact same number of atoms of each element are on each side of the equation.All the molecules are broken downThe same total number of atoms must be the same, it doesn't matter which element they are30sS8P1f
- Q6What is the difference between a chemical and a physical change?A chemical change does not change the arrangement of atoms and a physical change DOES change the arrangement of atoms.A chemical change does not produce a new substance, and a physical change DOES produce a new substanceA chemical change is irreversible and a physical change is reversibleDuring a chemical change, the substance stays the same.30sS8P1d
