    Transition elements (D-block) need roman numerals when naming because.....

    • They have multiple charges (oxidation states).

    • They have electrons that are in a different energy level.

    • D block is larger than the s or p block

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. They have multiple charges (oxidation states).
    Explanation
    Transition elements need roman numerals because they can have multiple oxidation states (or charges). The roman numerals are needed to identify which oxidation state of the element is in the compound.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Aqueous solutions have a solute and a solvent.  The solvent is....

    • The compound being dissolved

    • Water

    • The combination of solute and solution

    • A precipitate

    Correct Answer
    A. Water
    Explanation
    Aqueous solutions are made when a compound (solute) is dissolved in water (solvent).

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    How are the empirical formula and molecular formula different?

    • They are not different. They are always the same

    • The empirical formula is the simplest form and the molecular formula is how the molecule really exists.

    • The molecularl formula is the simplest form and the empirical formula is how the molecule really exists.

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. The empirical formula is the simplest form and the molecular formula is how the molecule really exists.
    Explanation
    The empirical formula is always the simplest form of a molecule. It has all of the subscripts reduced in the same way you might reduce a fraction. The molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical and represents how the molecule really exists. For example, a molecule may have a formula of C2H6, but the empirical formula would be CH3

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Ionic bonds form when...

    • Two cations bond

    • Two anions bond

    • Two ions share electrons

    • One cation and one anion give and take electrons

    Correct Answer
    A. One cation and one anion give and take electrons

    Ionic bonds are formed when two atoms give and take electrons to form a cation and anion that are electrostatically attracted.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Cations are....
    1. Positively charged
    2. Negatively charged
    3. Loses electrons

    • 2,3 and 5

    • 2, 4 and 6

    Correct Answer
    A. 1, 3 and 5
    Explanation
    Cations tend to be metals (from the left side of the stair step)and are positively charged ions that lose electrons to acquire 8 electrons in its outer shell. This process allows for more stability.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Neutral atoms form ions in order to ....

    • Gain stability

    • Achieve 8 valence electrons

    • To form noble gas-type electron configurations

    • All of the above

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Ions are more stable than their neutral form. They are more stable because the gaining or losing of electrons allows them to have 8 valence electrons just like the noble gases.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    When a compound is a hydrate, that means....

    • The compound is bonded to one or more water molecules

    • The compound is dissolved in water

    • The compound is water

    • The compound has had all of the water removed.

    Correct Answer
    A. The compound is bonded to one or more water molecules
    Explanation
    Hydrates have water bonded within their structure. A hydrate can be a dry-looking solid. When heating a hydrate you can remove the bonded water and make the compound anhydrous (without water).

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    A single replacement reaction...

    • Is the replacement of one part of an ionic compound with another ion in solution.

    • May or may not occur depending on the activity series.

    • Can happen with the cation or anion part of the reactants

    • All of the above.

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    Single replacement reactions can happen with the replacement of the cation in a compound with another or the replacement of an anion with another. This replacement happens according to the activity series of metals and halogens. If the cation being replaced is less reactive than the one being introduced than the reaction will take place. The product in a single replacement reaction will always contain the more reactive cation/anion.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    An alloy forms when.....

    • Metallic atoms are substituted for other atoms in a crystal lattice

    • Other atoms are placed in the spaces of a crystal lattice

    • All of the above

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Alloys can be substitutional or interstitial. Substitutional alloys are alloys that have had some atoms in a metallic crystal replaced by different type(s) of atoms. Interstitial alloys are alloys that have had different atoms placed in the interstitial spaces in the metallic crystal.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Spectator ions are those ions in a reaction that.....

    • Form a precipitate

    • Form a gas

    • Do not participate in the reaction

    • Are a part of the net ionic equation

    Correct Answer
    A. Do not participate in the reaction
    Explanation
    Spectator ions are ions in a solution that do not participate in a reaction. They stay in solution as ions before and after the reaction.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    The percent yield is...

    • Is the most amount of product you can get in a chemical reaction

    • What you get when you divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield.

    • Is the least amount of product you can get in a chemical reaction

    • Is the yield produced by the excess reactant

    Correct Answer
    A. What you get when you divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield.
    Explanation
    Percent yield is a measure of efficiency of a reaction. It is the actual (experimental) yield of a reaction divided by the theoretical (calculated / maximum) yield.

  • 14. 

    When a gas changes temperature in a flexible container....

    • Only the pressure will change

    • Only the volume will change

    • Volume and pressure will change

    • Nothing changes.

    Correct Answer
    A. Volume and pressure will change
    Explanation
    According to the combined gas law, when one of the three variables (temperature, pressure and volume), the other two will change also.

  • 15. 

    The mole refers to...

    • A number of particles

    • The mass of an atom

    • The volume of a solid

    • All of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. A number of particles
    Explanation
    The mole is a number, 6.02 x 10^23. Not unlike a dozen; but much bigger. A mole can measure anything: atoms, molecules, bananas or flowers. The volume and mass of a mole will depend on what you have, but the amount (in numbers) will always be the same.

  • 16. 

    The limiting reagent (reactant) in a reaction is always the one...

    • With the smallest molar mass

    • The largest molar mass

    • The least amount of moles

    • The one that will run out first

    • More than one of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. The one that will run out first
    Explanation
    The limiting reactant is always the reactant that will run out first in the reaction. It may have more or less moles than the excess reactant depending on the mole ratios in the balanced equation. The molar mass of the reactants are not a determining factor.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    According to KMT, 

    • Pressure is formed from the collisions of gas molecules with each other and the container

    • Volume is formed from the space between the molecules and not from the volume of the molecules themselves.

    • Attraction between gas molecules is minimized due to the speed at which they are traveling and the space between them.

    • All of the above are true

    • Two of the above are true, but one is false

    • All of the above are false.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above are true

    • None of the above

    • Two of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. Two of the above.

    Resonance can happen when any molecule has more than one valid Lewis structure.  When this happens the bonds...

    • Have the same lengths

    • Have different lengths, because one will be a double bond and the others will be single.

    • Will not be stable and the molecule doesn't form

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. Have the same lengths
    Explanation
    Resonance allows for the formation of equivalent bonds in a molecule. The electrons from the pi bond delocalize and form similar bonds on all sides.
