    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.
