      Evaporation

    • C.

      Freezing

    • D.

      Condensation

    Correct Answer
    D. Condensation
    Explanation
    Condensation is the process in which a gas changes into a liquid state. This occurs when the temperature of the gas decreases, causing the gas particles to slow down and come closer together. As a result, the gas particles lose energy and form bonds, forming a liquid. This is different from evaporation, which is the process of a liquid changing into a gas. Therefore, condensation is the correct answer as it accurately describes the change from gas to liquid.

      Sublimation

    • C.

      Decantation

    • D.

      Distillation

    Correct Answer
    D. Distillation
    Explanation
    Distillation is the process of separating a mixture by heating it and then collecting the vapor that is produced. In this case, a mixture of peroxide and water can be separated by distillation because they have different boiling points. Water has a boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius, while peroxide has a boiling point of around 150 degrees Celsius. By heating the mixture, the water will vaporize first, leaving behind the peroxide. The vapor can then be collected and condensed back into liquid form, resulting in the separation of the two substances.

    The electron configuration of phosphorus is:

    • A.

      2,8,1

    • B.

      2,8,4

    • C.

      2,8,7

    • D.

      2,8,5

    Correct Answer
    D. 2,8,5
    Explanation
    The electron configuration of an atom represents the arrangement of electrons in its energy levels. Phosphorus has 15 electrons, and the electron configuration is determined by filling up the energy levels in order of increasing energy. The first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons, and the third energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons as well. Therefore, the electron configuration of phosphorus is 2,8,5, as it has 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 electrons in the second energy level, and 5 electrons in the third energy level.

    • C.

      Upper lefthand side

    • D.

      Bottom right hand side

    Correct Answer
    B. Bottom left hand side
    Explanation
    The most active metals are located in the bottom left hand side of the periodic table. This is because as you move from left to right across a period, the metals become less reactive. On the other hand, as you move down a group, the metals become more reactive. Therefore, the bottom left hand side of the periodic table is where you will find the most active metals.

      Valence electrons

    • D.

      Atomic mass

    Correct Answer
    C. Valence electrons
    Explanation
    Elements within a group have a similar number of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom and are responsible for the chemical behavior of the element. Elements within the same group have the same number of valence electrons because they are in the same column of the periodic table. This similarity in valence electrons allows elements within a group to exhibit similar chemical properties and react in similar ways.

    • D.

      Protons

    Correct Answer
    A. Shells
    Explanation
    Elements across a period have the same number of shells. This is because elements in the same period have the same number of energy levels or electron shells. As you move across a period from left to right, the number of protons and valence electrons increases, but the number of shells remains the same. Therefore, the correct answer is shells.
