  • Which of the following molecular models represents an element?
    A molecular model that contains only one type of atom, such as O2, H2, or S8, represents an element.
  • Which of the following is the most abundant gas by volume in the atmosphere?
    Nitrogen (N2) is the most abundant gas by volume in the atmosphere.
  • Which of the following elements does not exist as a diatomic molecule?
    Elements like magnesium (Mg) do not exist as diatomic molecules; they are monoatomic in their natural state.
  • Which of these elements does not exist as a diatomic molecule?
    Elements such as zinc (Zn) do not exist as diatomic molecules in nature.

    The diatomic elements are hydrogen (H2), nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), fluorine (F2), chlorine (Cl2), bromine (Br2), and iodine (I2).
  • What is the rarest naturally occurring element on earth?
    Astatine is considered the rarest naturally occurring element on earth.
  • Which among the following elements does not exist as a diatomic molecule in nature?
    Elements such as lithium (Li) do not exist as diatomic molecules in nature.
  • What element does not react with other elements?
    Noble gases, such as helium (He), are elements that do not readily react with other elements.
  • Which of the following describes the properties of noble gases?
    Noble gases are monoatomic, chemically inert, and do not readily form compounds.
  • Which of the following elements is not diatomic?
    Elements like sulfur (S) are not diatomic; sulfur exists as S8 in its natural state.
  • Which of the following elements exists as a diatomic molecule?
    Oxygen (O2) exists as a diatomic molecule in its natural state.
