1/28

A Acids

Electrolytes, sour taste, turns litmus red, reacts with metals.

Examples: Vinegar, milk, citrus fruits

*You can remember this by thinking of Ursula and how she was

a sour person and doesnt mix well other people.


2/28

B Bases

Electrolytes, bitter-taste, turns litmus blue, feels slippery

Examples: Ammonia, baking soda

*You can remember this by thinking of Ursulas eels which are

bitter and very slippery.


3/28

C Charles Law

Volume and temperature of a gas are directly related at

constant mass and pressure.

*You can remember this by thinking of the volume as viewers

watching the movie and temperature as the talent the movie

perceives. The more talent there is then the more viewers

there will be.


4/28

D: Direct Proportions

As x goes up then y goes up. As x goes down then y

goes down.

*You can remember this by thinking the more Ariels interest in

the land increases the more her fathers anger increases.


5/28

E: Element

The matter composed of identical atoms.

Examples: Copper wire, aluminum foil

*


6/28

F: Frequency

Number of waves that pass a point during certain time period.

*

H: Heisenburg

Uncertainy Principle

Impossible to know both the velocity and the position of an

electron at the same time.

*A way to remember this is to remember that it is impossible to

know how fast and where he is exactly whenever Flipper

swims.


9/28

I: Ionic

Electrons are transferred from metal to nonmetal.

*A way to remember this is to think of how feelings are shared

from two completely different things, such as a human and a

mermaid.


10/28

J: Joules

This is what energy is measured in.

*


11/28

K: Kinetic Energy

Particles of matter that are always in motion.

*The sea is always moving. It is never still.


12/28

L: Liquids

They have low kinetic energy. They move around but are still

close together. They have a variable shape and fixed volume.

*A way to remember this is to think of this is to remember how

Ariel and Prince Eric move around separately because she is inthe sea and he is on the land yet they are still close at heart.


13/28

M: Metals

They are solid at room temperature, lustrous, malleable and

good conductors of heat and electricity.

*


14/28

N: Nonmetals

They are dull and brittle. They are also poor conductors of heat

and electricity.

*


15/28

O: Oxygen

It is a diatomic element: O2

It has a mass number of 16 and it is a gas.

*


16/28

P: Periodic Table

Today we still go by Moselys way of listing the elements. It is

basically just a way to organize elements.

*


17/28

Q: Quarks

It is a component of protons and neutrons.

*


18/28

R: Row

Period = Energy Level

*You can remember this by thinking of the different levels in

the royal kingdom down under the sea.


19/28

S: Solubility

Unsaturated Saturated Supersaturated

More solute dissolves no more solute dissolves unstable, crystals begin to form

*


20/28

T: Temperature

You must always use absolute temperature (kelvin) when

working with gases.

*


21/28


22/28

V: Valence Electrons

These are the electrons that are on the outer most shell.

*


23/28

W: Wavelength

The length of one complete wave.

*


24/28

X: Xeon

It is a noble gas.

Its atomic mass is 131.3

*


25/28

Y: Yttrium

It is a transition metal.

It has an atomic mass of 88.91

*


26/28

Z: Zinc

It is a transition metal.

Its atomic mass is 65.39

*
