by cindy sherwood
the following terms are vocabulary words from the article. match the vocabulary word with its correct definition by writing the corresponding letter on the line.

1. ______ magnetic field
2. ______ electrons
3. ______ force
4. ______ solar wind
5. ______ magnet
6. ______ core
7. ______ attract
8. ______ atom
9. ______ metals
10. ______ repel

a. charged particles that stream out from the sun
b. the basic unit of all elements; a very small particle
c. to push back from something; resist
d. the area around a magnetic material in which a magnet will be close enough to react to that material
e. materials that are often characterized as hard, shiny, and conductive; magnets are attracted to many types of these
f. the strength or energy of something
g. negatively charged particles inside an atom
h. the deepest layer of the earth
i. a piece of material whose atoms are arranged so that it attracts other materials with the same atomic pattern
j. to pull something closer; draw something in

Explanation:

To solve this vocabulary matching problem, we analyze each term and its corresponding definition:

1. magnetic field

Definition: d. the area around a magnetic material in which a magnet will be close enough to react to that material (describes the region of magnetic influence).

2. electrons

Definition: g. negatively charged particles inside an atom (electrons are subatomic particles with negative charge).

3. force

Definition: f. the strength or energy of something (force is defined as strength or energy in physical contexts).

4. solar wind

Definition: a. charged particles that stream out from the Sun (solar wind consists of charged particles emitted by the Sun).

5. magnet

Definition: e. materials that are often characterized as hard, shiny, and conductive; magnets are attracted to many types of these (magnets interact with magnetic materials, and this definition aligns with magnetic materials’ properties).

6. core

Definition: h. the deepest layer of the Earth (the Earth’s core is its innermost layer).

7. attract

Definition: j. to pull something closer; draw something in (attract means to pull or draw objects toward each other).

8. atom

Definition: b. the basic unit of all elements; a very small particle (atoms are the fundamental units of elements).

9. metals

Definition: i. A piece of material whose atoms are arranged so that it attracts other materials with the same atomic pattern (metals have atomic structures that allow magnetic attraction and other properties like conductivity).

10. repel

Definition: c. to push back from something; resist (repel means to push or resist the approach of an object).
