Question 3

Which of the following elements is classified as a metalloid?

Accepted Answer

Silicon (Si)

Question 4

Which periodic trend increases from left to right across a period and decreases down a group?

Accepted Answer

Electronegativity

Question 5

What is the electronic configuration of a nitrogen atom ($$Z=7) in $$terms of shells?

Accepted Answer

$$1s^2$$\ $$2s^2$$\ $$2p^3$$

Question 6

Which of the following best explains the stability of noble gases?

Accepted Answer

They have completely filled valence electron shells.

Question 7

Which of the following ions has the formula $$\mathrm{SO_4$^{2-}}$$?

Accepted Answer

Sulfate

Question 8

Which process requires more energy: removing an electron from a noble gas or from an alkali metal? Why?

Accepted Answer

Removing an electron from a noble gas requires more energy because noble gases have full valence shells and high ionization energies.

Question 9

Which of the following is a characteristic of ionic bonds?

Accepted Answer

They result from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
