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.
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.

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

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.

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.
