What is the general shape of an s orbital?
- A.
Spherical
- B.
Four-leaf clover
- C.
Cylindrical
- D.
Figure-eight
Correct Answer
A. SpHericalExplanation
The general shape of an s orbital is spherical. This means that the electron density is evenly distributed around the nucleus, forming a symmetrical sphere. This shape is determined by the probability of finding an electron at different locations around the nucleus. In an s orbital, the probability is highest at the center and decreases as you move away from the nucleus. This spherical shape allows for maximum electron-electron repulsion, which helps to stabilize the atom.Rate this question:

Has a negative charge
- B.
Has gained electrons
- C.
Has a positive charge
- D.
Has no charge
Correct Answer
C. Has a positive chargeExplanation
A cation is an ion that has a positive charge. This is because cations are formed when an atom loses one or more electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. The loss of electrons creates an imbalance between the number of protons and electrons, causing the cation to have a positive charge.Rate this question:

According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle,
- A.
Electrons are added to orbitals in order of increasing energy.
- B.
The number of electrons in an atom is uncertain.
- C.
It is impossible to know both the velocity and position of an electron.
- D.
No orbital in a sublevel may be empty if two electrons are paired in that sublevel.
Correct Answer
C. It is impossible to know both the velocity and position of an electron.Explanation
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to know both the velocity and position of an electron simultaneously. This principle arises from the wave-particle duality of electrons, where they exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties. The more accurately we try to measure the position of an electron, the less accurately we can determine its velocity, and vice versa. This principle places a fundamental limit on our ability to precisely determine the behavior and properties of subatomic particles like electrons.Rate this question:

Which of the following atoms has the greatest ionization energy?
- A.
Sulfur
- B.
Silicon
- C.
Chlorine
- D.
Magnesium
Correct Answer
C. ChlorineExplanation
Chlorine has the greatest ionization energy among the given atoms. Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Chlorine has a higher ionization energy because it has a smaller atomic radius and a greater effective nuclear charge compared to the other atoms. The smaller atomic radius means that the outermost electron is closer to the nucleus, making it more strongly attracted to the positive charge of the nucleus. Additionally, the greater effective nuclear charge means that there are more protons in the nucleus, resulting in a stronger attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. Therefore, it requires more energy to remove an electron from a chlorine atom compared to the other atoms listed.Rate this question:

Which of the following would be the LEAST stable?
- A.
An atom of N in its excited state electron configuration
- B.
An ion of Na+
- C.
An atom of P in its ground state electron configuration
- D.
An atom of Ar
Correct Answer
A. An atom of N in its excited state electron configurationExplanation
An atom of N in its excited state electron configuration would be the least stable because when an atom is in an excited state, it has excess energy. This excess energy can cause the electron to be more easily lost or gained, making the atom more reactive and less stable compared to the other options. In contrast, an ion of Na+ has a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell, making it more stable. An atom of P in its ground state electron configuration and an atom of Ar both have full outer shells, making them more stable as well.Rate this question:

- A.
Electronegativity
- B.
Ionization energy
- C.
Electron capture
- D.
Electron affinity
Correct Answer
D. Electron affinityExplanation
Electron affinity refers to the energy change that occurs when an atom gains an electron to form a negative ion. It is a measure of the atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons. The higher the electron affinity, the more likely an atom is to gain an electron. Ionization energy, on the other hand, is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom, while electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond. Electron capture is a process where an atom captures an electron from its surroundings.Rate this question:

What is the maximum number of sublevels in the third energy level?
- A.
1
- B.
2
- C.
3
- D.
4
Correct Answer
C. 3Explanation
The maximum number of sublevels in an energy level is determined by the principal quantum number (n) of that energy level. The formula to calculate the maximum number of sublevels is 2n^2. In this case, since it is the third energy level (n=3), the maximum number of sublevels would be 2(3^2) = 18. However, the question asks for the maximum number of sublevels specifically in the third energy level, which means we only need to consider the sublevels within that energy level. According to the Aufbau principle, the third energy level can have a maximum of 3 sublevels, which are labeled as s, p, and d. Therefore, the correct answer is 3.Rate this question:

According to Hund's Rule,
- A.
Electrons are added to orbitals in order of increasing energy.
- B.
The number of electrons in an atom is uncertain.
- C.
It is impossible to know both the velocity and position of an electron.
- D.
No orbital in a sublevel may be empty if two electrons are paired in that sublevel.
Correct Answer
D. No orbital in a sublevel may be empty if two electrons are paired in that sublevel.Explanation
According to Hund's Rule, when electrons are added to orbitals, they are filled in order of increasing energy. This means that electrons will first fill the lowest energy orbitals before moving to higher energy ones. Additionally, Hund's Rule states that no orbital in a sublevel may be empty if two electrons are paired in that sublevel. This means that when filling orbitals with electrons, each orbital will first receive one electron before any of them can have a second electron. Therefore, the correct answer is that no orbital in a sublevel may be empty if two electrons are paired in that sublevel.Rate this question:

How many electrons in molybdenum are found in the fourth energy level?
- A.
6
- B.
12
- C.
13
- D.
2
Correct Answer
C. 13Explanation
The fourth energy level can hold a maximum of 32 electrons. Since molybdenum has an atomic number of 42, it has 42 electrons. To determine the number of electrons in the fourth energy level, we need to subtract the number of electrons in the first three energy levels. 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 18 electrons. Therefore, the number of electrons in the fourth energy level is 42 - 2 - 8 - 18 = 14. However, the answer options only include 6, 12, 13, and 2. Since 14 is not an option, the closest option is 13, which is the correct answer.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Stable.Explanation
Atoms or ions with an octet are stable because they have achieved a full outer electron shell, which is the most stable configuration. This stability is achieved by gaining or losing electrons to reach a total of 8 electrons in the outer shell, similar to the electron configuration of noble gases. Stable atoms or ions are less likely to undergo chemical reactions and are more likely to exist in their current form without undergoing significant changes.Rate this question:

Argon has an octet because it is a noble gas and has a full outer electron shell. Noble gases have stable electron configurations and do not readily form bonds with other atoms. In the case of argon, it has a total of 18 electrons, with 8 of them in the outermost shell. This satisfies the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a stable configuration with 8 electrons in the outer shell. Therefore, argon is the only atom listed that has an octet.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. LithiumExplanation
Lithium would have the lowest ionization energy because it is the furthest left and closest to the noble gases in the periodic table. As you move from left to right across a period, the ionization energy generally increases because the atomic radius decreases and the electrons are held more tightly. Since lithium is at the beginning of the period, it has a larger atomic radius and the electrons are not held as tightly, making it easier to remove an electron and therefore having the lowest ionization energy among the given atoms.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d10Explanation
The correct answer is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d10. This electron configuration represents a ground state electron configuration for a transition metal because it follows the Aufbau principle and Hund's rule. The Aufbau principle states that electrons will fill the lowest energy levels first, so the 1s, 2s, 2p, and 3s orbitals are filled before the 3p and 4s orbitals. Hund's rule states that when orbitals of equal energy are available, electrons will occupy separate orbitals before pairing up. In this electron configuration, the 3d orbital is half-filled with 5 electrons, following Hund's rule, and the 4s orbital is filled with 2 electrons.Rate this question:

Iodine has more energy levels than chlorine, which means it has more electron shells. As the number of energy levels increases, the size of the atom also increases. This is because each energy level is further away from the nucleus, resulting in a larger atomic radius. Therefore, the statement is true and iodine is indeed larger than chlorine.Rate this question:
