Q: Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating the mass number of an atom?

$$\text{Mass number} = \text{Number of protons} + \text{Number of neutrons}$$

Question 1

Which of the following best describes the difference in electron behavior between ionic and covalent bonds?

Accepted Answer

In ionic bonds, electrons are transferred from one atom to another; in covalent bonds, electrons are shared between atoms.

Question 2

An element has 11 protons and 12 neutrons. What is its atomic number?

Accepted Answer

$$11$$

Question 3

An element has 11 protons and 12 neutrons. What is its mass number?

Accepted Answer

$$23$$

Question 4

Why do noble gases (Group 18) rarely form chemical bonds with other elements?

Accepted Answer

They have a full valence shell, making them chemically stable.

Question 5

Balance the following chemical equation: $$H_2$$ + $$O_2$$ \rightarrow H_2O$$

Accepted Answer

$$2H_2 + O_2$ \rightarrow 2H_2O$$

Question 6

A student tests a mystery liquid with a pH strip that turns bright red, indicating a pH of 2. What does this tell you about the substance?

Accepted Answer

It is a strong acid.

Question 7

Which of the following is a real-world example of an ionic compound?

Accepted Answer

Sodium chloride ($$NaCl)$$

Question 8

Which of the following statements about covalent bonds is correct?

Accepted Answer

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Question 9

A solution has a pH of 8. Which of the following best describes the solution?

Accepted Answer

It is a weak base.

Question 10

Which of the following best explains why sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) form an ionic bond?

Accepted Answer

Sodium donates an electron to chlorine, resulting in oppositely charged ions that attract each other.

Question 11

Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating the mass number of an atom?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Mass number} = 	ext{Number of protons} + 	ext{Number of neutrons}$$

Question 12

Which of the following best describes the electron configuration of a noble gas?

Accepted Answer

It has a full outermost electron shell.

Question 13

A chemist mixes hydrochloric acid ($$HCl) $$with sodium hydroxide ($$NaOH). $$The resulting solution has a pH close to 7. What type of reaction has occurred?

Accepted Answer

A neutralization reaction

Question 14

Which of the following is the balanced equation for the combustion of hydrogen gas in oxygen to form water?

Accepted Answer

$$2H_2 + O_2$ \rightarrow 2H_2O$$

Question 15

Which of the following best describes what happens to the pH of a solution when a strong acid is added?

Accepted Answer

The pH decreases.

Question 16

A patient is given a solution with a pH of 2 to drink. What effect might this have on the patient's body?

Accepted Answer

It could damage tissues due to high acidity.

Question 17

Which of the following is a property of ionic compounds in solid form?

Accepted Answer

They have high melting points and are brittle.

Question 18

Which of the following best explains why water ($$H_2O) is a $$covalent compound?

Accepted Answer

It is formed by the sharing of electrons between hydrogen and oxygen.

Question 19

A student claims that all compounds with a pH less than 7 are bases. Is this statement correct?

Accepted Answer

No, because acids have pH values less than 7.

Question 20

Which of the following best describes the relationship between the number of protons and the atomic number of an element?

Accepted Answer

The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.
