Q: Within a specified period, an increase in atomic number is


usually accompanied by:
Option
s:
A. an increase in atomic radius and an increase in
electronegativity.
B. a decrease in atomic radius and an increase in
electronegativity.
C. an increase in atomic radius and a decrease in
electronegativity.
D. a decrease in atomic radius and a decrease in
electronegativity.
A: B
Explanation: Because of increasing affecting nuclear charge
and electrostatic attraction, the atomic radius decreases. There
are more protons and neutrons so electrons are needed to
increase electronegativity.

Q: How many electrons can exist in all the atomic orbitals that
correspond to the principal quantum number 4?
Option
s:
A. 2
B. 8
C. 1
8
D. 3
2

A: D
Explanation: The four energy level contains electrons in the s,
p, d, and f orbitals. All you need to do is take the sum of the
number of electrons and all four orbitals (s:2, p:6, d:10, f:14) to
reach the correct answer of 32.

Q: An atom of carbon-14 contains:


Options:

A. 8 protons, 6 neutrons, 6
electrons
B. 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 8
electrons
C. 6 protons, 8 neutrons, 8
electrons
D. 6 protons, 8 neutrons, 6
electrons
A: D
Explanation: To be carbon, the atom must contain six protons
since the atomic number of carbon is six. The name of carbon14 tells us that the atoms mass is 14. Therefore there must be
8 neutrons as well as 6 protons. Finally for the atom to be
balanced, 6 electrons must exist.

Q: Which molecule is nonpolar and has a symmetrical shape?


Optio

ns
A. HC
l
B. H2
O
C. CH
4

D. NH
3

A: C
Explanation: To be nonpolar a molecule must have either:
nonpolar bonds, as in H2 or F2, or slightly polar bonds and a
symmetric shape as in CH4

Q: Which ion has the largest radius?

Option
s:
A. I B. Cl C. Br D. F A: A
Explanation: The size of the atoms in one group increases as
you go down that group in the periodic table.

Q: What mass contains 6.0 * 1023 atoms?

Options:

A 6.0 g of
. carbon
B 16 g of
. sulfur
C 3.0 g of
. helium
D 28 g of
. silicon
A: D
Explanation: The quality 6.0 * 1023 atoms represents 1.0 mole
of atoms. You should divide each mass given by the mass
number of that element.

Q: Which metal atoms can form ionic bonds by losing electrons


from both the outermost and next to outermost principal
energy levels?
Option
s:
A. Fe
B. M
g
C. Pb
D. Ca
A: A
Explanation: Iron can lose two electrons in its outermost
energy level. This explains why Fe shows a +2 oxidation state
in the periodic table.

Q: Which group contains elements composed of diatomic


molecules at STP?

Optio
ns:
A. 11 (IB)
B. 2 (IIA)
C. 7
(VIIB)
D. 17
(VIIA)
A: D
Explanation: Halogen family elements all exist as diatomic
molecules at STP, not as single atoms

Q: Which period of the periodic table contains more metallic


elements than non metallic elements?
Option
s:
A. Period
1
B. Period
2
C. Period
3
D. Period
4
A: D
Explanation: Which period of the periodic table contains more
metallic elements than non metallic elements?

A. H-F
B, H-Br
C. H-Cl
D, H-I
A: A
Explanation: A chemical bond is more stable when more
energy is released at the time the bond forms. Since the most
energy is released when HF is formed, the H-F bond will be the
most stable.
