Alcohol-is formed when yeast ferments (breaks down without oxygen) the
sugars in different food.
Atomic Mass-is the mass of an atom. Its unit is the unified atomic mass unit
where 1 unified atomic mass unit is defined as ¹⁄₁ ₂ of the mass of a single
carbon-12 atom, at rest.
Atomic Number-or proton number of a chemical element is the number of
protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element. The atomic number
uniquely identifies a chemical element. It is identical to the charge number of
the nucleus.
B
Bohr Model-is a system consisting of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by
orbiting electrons—similar to the structure of the Solar System, but with
attraction provided by electrostatic forces in place of gravity.
Boric Acid-also called hydrogen borate, boracic acid, and orthoboric acid is
a weak, monobasic Lewis acid of boron
Butane-is an organic compound with the formula C4H10 that is an alkane with
four carbon atoms. Butane is a gas at room temperature and atmospheric
pressure. The term may refer to either of two structural isomers, n-butane or
isobutane (also called "methylpropane"), or to a mixture of these isomers.
Chemistry-is the study of matter, its properties, how and why substances
combine or separate to form other substances, and how substances interact
with energy. Many people think of chemists as being white-coated scientists
mixing strange liquids in a laboratory, but the truth is we are all chemists.
D
Disinfectant-a chemical liquid that destroys bacteria.
E
Electron affinity-is defined as the amount of energy released or spent
when an electron is added to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state
to form a negative ion.
Electrons-are the subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom.
They are generally negative in charge and are much smaller than the nucleus
of the atom
Energy level- inside an atom are the specific energiesthat electrons can
have when occupying specific orbitals.
Ethyl Alcohol-is the only type of alcohol that you can drink without
seriously harming yourself, and then only if it hasn't been denatured or doesn't
contain toxic impurities. Ethanol is sometimes called grain alcohol because it
is the main type ofalcohol produced by grain fermentation.
F
Fingerprint-the color,number and position of all lines produced.
Fuel-is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it
releases energy as heat energy or to be used for work.
G
Gas-is one of the four fundamental states of matter. A pure gas may be made
up of individual atoms, elemental molecules made from one type of atom, or
compound molecules made from a variety of atoms. A gas mixture, such as air,
contains a variety of pure gases.
Hydrogen- is the chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1.
With a standard atomic weight of 1.008,hydrogen is the lightest element in the
periodic table.Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the
Universe, constituting roughly 75% of all baryonic mass.
I
Ion-an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of
one or more electrons.
Iodine-is a chemical element with the symbol I and atomic number 53.
J
J.J Thomson-was an English physicist and Nobel Laureate in Physics,
credited with the discovery and identification of the electron, the first subatomic
particle to be discovered.In 1897, Thomson showed that cathode rays were
composed of previously unknown negatively charged particles (now called
electrons), which he calculated must have bodies much smaller than atoms
and a very large charge-to-mass ratio.[2] Thomson is also credited with finding
the first evidence for isotopes of a stable (non-radioactive) element in 1913, as
part of his exploration into the composition of canal rays (positive ions). His
experiments to determine the nature of positively charged particles
K
Kerosene-also known as paraffin, lamp oil, and coal oil, is a combustible
hydrocarbon liquid which is derived from petroleum. It is widely used as a fuel
in aviation as well as households.
L
Lewis Structure-are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a
molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
M
Malleable-(of a metal or other material) able to be hammered or pressed
permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking.
Matter-anything that occupies space and has mass.
N
Napthalene-is a white, volatile, solid polycyclic hydrocarbon with a strong
mothball odor.Also, obtained from either coal tar or petroleum distillation and is
primarily used to manufacture phthalic anhydride, but is also used in moth
repellents.
Niels Bohr-was a Danish physicist who made foundational
contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum
theory,Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, in which he
proposed that energy levels of electrons are discrete and that the
electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus but
can jump from one energy level (or orbit) to another.
O
Octane-is a hydrocarbon and an alkane with the chemical formula C₈ H₁ ₈ ,
and the condensed structural formula CH₃ (CH₂ )₆ CH₃ .
Oxygen-is the chemical element with the symbol O and atomic number 8.A
highly reactive nonmetal, and an oxidizing agent that readily forms oxides with
most elements as well as with other compounds.
P
Paraffin wax-is a soft colorless solid, derived from petroleum, coal or shale
oil, that consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing between
twenty and forty carbon atoms.
Q
Quantum Mechanical-including quantum field theory, is a fundamental
theory in physics which describes nature at the smallest scales of atoms and
subatomic particles.
S
Sea of Electrons-that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the
interacting metal ions.
Spectrum-is a condition that is not limited to a specific set of values but can
vary, without steps, across a continuum.
Sulfur-is a chemical element with the symbol S and atomic number 16. It is
abundant, multivalent, and nonmetallic. Under normal conditions, sulfur atoms
form cyclic octatomic molecules with a chemical formula S₈ . Elemental sulfur
is a bright yellow, crystalline solid at room temperature.
T
Triple bond-is a chemical bond between two atoms involving
six bonding electrons instead of the usual two in a covalent single bond. The
most common triple bond, that between two carbon atoms, can be found in
alkynes.
U
Uncertainty principle-is any of a variety of mathematical inequalities
asserting a fundamental limit to the precision with which certain pairs of
physical properties of a particle.
V
Valence Electrons-is an outer shell electron that is associated with an
atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer
shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute
one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.
W
Wavelength-is a property of a wave that is the distance between identical
points between two successive waves. The distance between one crest (or
trough) of one wave and the next is the wavelength of the wave.
