7. Ions
  • If an electron is lost from the atom, the atom becomes positively charged 
  • ____________

Explanation

When an electron is lost from an atom, it results in an imbalance between the positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. This imbalance causes the atom to become positively charged. The term "cation" refers to a positively charged ion, which is formed when an atom loses one or more electrons. Therefore, the correct answer is "cation".

Submit
8. •The mass of an atom is measured in ___________ or ___ _____ _____(        )

Explanation

The mass of an atom is measured in either Daltons or atomic mass units (AMU). Daltons are a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, while AMU is a unit used specifically for atomic masses. Both units are used interchangeably to quantify the mass of atoms.

Submit
9. Atomic Structure
  • one or two letters representing the element
  • ________________
 

Explanation

The answer "Symbol" is correct because in atomic structure, the symbol refers to the one or two letters that represent an element. These symbols are used to identify and differentiate between different elements in the periodic table. Each element has a unique symbol, such as H for hydrogen or O for oxygen. Therefore, the symbol is an important aspect of atomic structure and is used to represent elements in various chemical and scientific contexts.

Submit
10.
  • The mass of the atom (protons and neutrons) is concentrated in the   nucleus

Explanation

The nucleus of an atom contains most of its mass because it is where the protons and neutrons are located. Electrons, which have a much smaller mass, orbit around the nucleus in energy levels. Therefore, the statement that the mass of the atom (protons and neutrons) is concentrated in the nucleus is a factual statement about atoms.

12. A substance that cannot be broken down into other substances contains one type of identical particle called atoms ____________

Explanation

An element is a substance that cannot be broken down into other substances and consists of one type of identical particle called atoms.

Submit
13. A group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds_________________

Explanation

A molecule refers to a group of two or more atoms that are bonded together by chemical bonds. This bonding can occur through various types of interactions such as covalent, ionic, or metallic bonds. Molecules can be made up of atoms of the same element or different elements. The concept of a molecule is fundamental in understanding the structure and behavior of matter in chemistry.

Submit
14. 25 elements are needed for "life", 4 elements make up 96% of all living organisms   CHON (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen) __________________

Explanation

The given information states that 25 elements are needed for "life", and out of these, 4 elements (CHON - carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen) make up 96% of all living organisms. Therefore, these 4 elements are considered essential for life as they are the most abundant and necessary for the functioning of living organisms.

Submit
15. Are essential elements that are only needed in minute quantities(less than 0.01%) Example:  iron(Fe), iodine(I), and fluorine(Fl) _________________

Explanation

Trace elements are essential elements that are required by organisms in very small quantities, typically less than 0.01%. These elements play crucial roles in various biological processes and are necessary for the proper functioning of the body. Iron (Fe), iodine (I), and fluorine (Fl) are examples of trace elements that are needed for specific physiological functions. While they are only needed in minute amounts, their absence or deficiency can lead to severe health problems. Therefore, trace elements are considered essential for maintaining optimal health and well-being.

Submit
16. Ions•an atom that has gained or lost electrons and therefore has a charge

Explanation

Ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a charge. This charge is due to the unequal number of protons and electrons in the atom. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. Conversely, when an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. The presence of a charge in ions allows them to interact with other ions or molecules in chemical reactions.

Submit
17. Atomic Structure
  • sum of the protons + neutrons 
  • ______ ______ _____ / ______ ______

Explanation

This answer is correct because the atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. The mass number, on the other hand, is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Therefore, the ratio of the atomic mass number to the mass number gives the sum of the protons and neutrons.

Submit
18. Atomic Structureis approximately equal to the atomic mass number but reflects isotope variations and abundances
  • ______________

Explanation

Atomic weight is a term used to describe the average weight of an atom of an element, taking into account the different isotopes and their relative abundance. It is a measure of the average mass of all the isotopes of an element found in nature. Atomic structure, on the other hand, refers to the arrangement of particles within an atom, including the protons, neutrons, and electrons. While atomic structure is related to the atomic mass number, it does not take into account the variations in isotopes and their abundances, which is why atomic weight is a more accurate term to describe this concept.

Submit
19. The number of protons(+) in any atom is equal to its number of   electrons(-) making each atom electrically neutral or uncharged    *except if the atom is an ion  

Explanation

The explanation for the given answer is that the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons, which makes the atom electrically neutral or uncharged. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. However, if the atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion and will have a net positive or negative charge.
