Study Notes
Sound and Its Properties
- Sound is a form of energy that is transmitted through vibrations.
- Sound travels through a medium, such as air, water, or solids, in the form of pressure waves.
Speed of Sound
- The speed of sound in air at room temperature is approximately 343 meters per second (m/s).
Pitch of Sound
- The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency, with higher frequencies producing higher pitches.
Subatomic Particles
- Electrons are subatomic particles with a negative charge.
Atomic Structure
- The smallest unit of a chemical element is an atom.
- Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons, with protons and neutrons found in the nucleus.
Chemical Bonds
- Covalent bonds form between two atoms that share electrons.
- Atoms are held together by chemical bonds, which are the attractive forces between atoms.
Beta Decay
- When an atom undergoes beta decay, the mass number of the atom remains the same, but the atomic number changes.
Basic Units of Matter
- Atoms are the basic unit of matter that make up everything in the universe.
Atomic Nucleus
- Protons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
Chemical Compounds
- A molecule is the term used to describe two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
Identity of an Element
- The identity of an element is determined by the number of protons in its atomic nucleus, known as the atomic number.
