Sample Question

1 An atom consists of a nucleus containing positively charged protons surrounded by rapidly moving
negatively charged electrons.

2 An atom is neutral if it has equal number of protons and electrons.

3 Electrons, being mobile (moving), being negatively charged and attracted to the positively charged nucleus,
can be pulled away from atoms by supplying energy, or can be added to other atoms.

4 Neutral objects that gain electrons become negatively charged. Neutral objects that lose electrons become
positively charged.

5 Atoms do not gain or lose protons: protons stay stuck in the nucleus.

6 Static electricity is the buildup of positive or negative electric charges.

7 When two different materials are rubbed together, static electricity happens since electrons moving from
one object build up on another object.

8 Objects of like charge (both positive or both negative) repel each other.

9 Objects of opposite charges (one positive and one negative) attract each other.

10 To charge a balloon negatively rub it with a wool cloth, the cloth will transfer some electrons to the balloon:
• The overall charge of the wool cloth after rubbing is positive because it lost electrons.
• The overall charge of the balloon after rubbing is negative because it gained electrons.
• Both the wool cloth and the balloon have static electricity.

11 Lightning and static shocks are quick release of static electricity.

12 A loud sound has a high volume and a soft sound has a low volume.

13 Stronger vibrations produce louder sound waves that are higher in energy.

14 The amplitude of a sound is related to the volume of that sound.

15 A vibrating object sends sound waves to matter, which vibrate back and forth, carrying vibrations to three
bones in the middle ear, then to a fluid in the inner ear and then to nerve cells that send signals to the brain.

16 Human ears can hear sounds between 20 and 20,000 vibrations per second. Vibrations slower or faster than
this will not be detected as sound.

17 sound is a form of energy produced by vibrating objects like a guitar string or vocal cords of a person.

18 Sound waves are produced by vibrations.

19 The material through which sound waves travels is called a medium. Air is a medium in which sound travels.

Demonstration: rub a comb against wool and show how it picks up small squares of paper 2-3 mm on a side.

1. Electric charge is an electrical property of matter described as negative or positive .

2. G An atom consists of a nucleus containing positively charged [protons] (plus other particles) surrounded by
rapidly moving negatively charged [electrons]. (Electrons have a negative charge.Protons have a positive
charge).

3. G An atom is neutral (uncharged) if it has [equal numbers] of protons and electrons. (Most matter is uncharged
because the amount of positive and negative charges on it is the same).

4. G [electrons], being mobile (moving), being negatively charged and attracted to the positively charged
nucleus, can be pulled away from atoms by supplying energy, or can be added to other atoms.

5. G Neutral (uncharged) objects that gain electrons become [negatively] charged. Neutral objects that lose
[electrons] become positively charged.

6. Atoms do not gain or lose protons: protons stay stuck in the [nucleus].

7. [Static electricity] is the buildup of positive or negative electric charges.

8. When two different materials are rubbed together, static electricity happens since [electrons] moving from
one object build up on another object .

9. G Objects of like charge (both positive or both negative) [repel] each other.

10. G Objects of opposite charges (one positive and one negative) [attract] each other.

11. To charge a balloon negatively rub it with a wool cloth, the cloth will transfer some electrons to the balloon:
• The overall charge of the wool cloth after rubbing is positive because it [lost] electrons.
• The overall charge of the balloon after rubbing is negative because it [gained] electrons. Both
the wool cloth and the balloon have static electricity.

12. Lightning and static shocks are [quick] release of static electricity.
