Pernyataan di bawah ini yang merupakan sifat gas mulia adalah....
Correct Answer
D. Elektron pada kulit terluarnya 8, kecuali He
Explanation
The correct answer is "elektron pada kulit terluarnya 8, kecuali He". This is because the statement refers to the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have a full outer shell of 8 electrons. Noble gases are known for having a full outer shell, except for helium which has only 2 electrons in its outer shell. Therefore, the statement correctly identifies the characteristic of noble gases having 8 electrons in their outer shell, except for helium.

Correct Answer
D. Memiliki konfigurasi elektron yang stabil
Explanation
Gas mulia merupakan unsur yang sangat stabil karena memiliki konfigurasi elektron yang stabil. Konfigurasi elektron yang stabil pada gas mulia terdiri dari delapan elektron di kulit terluar, kecuali helium yang memiliki konfigurasi stabil dengan dua elektron. Karena konfigurasi elektron yang stabil, gas mulia cenderung tidak bereaksi dengan unsur lain dan memiliki energi ionisasi yang relatif kecil. Selain itu, jari-jari atom gas mulia relatif besar, yang juga berkontribusi pada stabilitasnya.
7.
Manakah sifat gas mulia yang makin berkurang dengan bertambahnya nomor atom....
Correct Answer
C. Energi ionisasi
Explanation
Energi ionisasi adalah energi yang diperlukan untuk menghilangkan elektron dari atom atau ion yang netral. Semakin tinggi nomor atom, semakin banyak elektron yang ada dalam atom dan semakin rapat mereka terikat. Oleh karena itu, semakin tinggi nomor atom, semakin sulit untuk menghilangkan elektron dan energi ionisasi akan meningkat. Jadi, dengan bertambahnya nomor atom, energi ionisasi akan semakin meningkat.

Explanation
The correct answer is "Oksidator kuat". This means that the substance is a strong oxidizing agent. This suggests that the substance has a high tendency to gain electrons and undergo reduction reactions, making it a powerful oxidizing agent.
9.
Untuk memperoleh gas mulia dapat dilakukan melalui ....
Correct Answer
A. destilasi bertingkat udara cair
Explanation
The correct answer is "destilasi bertingkat udara cair". This is because the process of obtaining noble gases can be done through fractional distillation of liquid air. Fractional distillation involves separating the components of a liquid mixture based on their different boiling points. In this case, the different components of air, including noble gases, can be separated by cooling and condensing the air to liquid form, and then gradually heating it to vaporize and collect the different gases.
10.
Unsur gas mulia yang terdapat paling banyak di alam semesta adalah.....
Correct Answer
E. Helium
Explanation
Helium is the correct answer because it is the most abundant noble gas in the universe. It is found in large quantities in stars, especially during the process of nuclear fusion. Helium is also present in gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. Although other noble gases like xenon, krypton, argon, and neon are also found in the universe, helium is the most plentiful.

Correct Answer
D. Sifatnya mirif Neon
Explanation
Helium tergolong gas mulia karena sifatnya mirip dengan Neon.
12.
Gas mulia dinyatakan sebagai molekul monoatomik, sebab ....
Correct Answer
A. Molekul-molekulnya terdiri atas satu atom
Explanation
The correct answer is "Molekul-molekulnya terdiri atas satu atom" because gas mulia, such as helium, neon, and argon, exist as individual atoms and do not form molecules. These atoms are stable and do not need to bond with other atoms to achieve a full outer electron shell. Therefore, they exist as monoatomic gases.
13.
Pernyataan yang benar tentang jari-jari atom gas mulia adalah ....
Correct Answer
D. Dari periode 1 hingga 5 xenon jari-jarinya terpanjang
Explanation
The correct answer states that from period 1 to period 5, xenon has the longest atomic radius. This is because as you move down a group or period in the periodic table, the atomic radius generally increases. Therefore, since xenon is located in period 5, its atomic radius is expected to be longer than elements in the previous periods.
14.
Energi ionisasi gas mulia relatif tinggi, sebab ....
Correct Answer
E. Sangat sulit melepaskan elektron terluarnya
Explanation
The correct answer suggests that noble gases have a high ionization energy because they find it very difficult to release their outermost electrons. This is because noble gases have a full valence shell, making them highly stable and less likely to undergo chemical reactions. As a result, they require a significant amount of energy to remove an electron from their outermost shell, leading to a high ionization energy.
15.
Kereaktifan unsur-unsur gas mulia berikut yang benar adalah ....
Correct Answer
B. Xenon lebih reaktif daripada argon
Explanation
Xenon is more reactive than argon because xenon can form compounds with other elements, while argon is considered inert and does not readily react with other substances. This is due to the difference in their electron configurations. Xenon has a larger atomic size and more electron shells compared to argon, which allows for more opportunities for chemical reactions to occur.
16.
Ternyata Ar hingga Xe dengan kondisi tertentu dapat direaksikan dengan unsur lain yang memiliki sifat paling .....
Correct Answer
D. Eleketronegatif
Explanation
The given question states that Ar to Xe can react with other elements under certain conditions. The term "eleketronegatif" refers to the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond. Since the question mentions that these elements can react with other elements, it implies that they have a tendency to gain or accept electrons, making them electronegative. Therefore, "eleketronegatif" is the correct answer.
17.
Molekul-molekul gas mulia bersifat non polar, sebab ....
Correct Answer
C. Molekulnya terdiri atas atom-atom yang netral
Explanation
The explanation for the correct answer is that noble gas molecules are nonpolar because they consist of neutral atoms. In a nonpolar molecule, the distribution of electrons is symmetrical, resulting in no separation of charge and no dipole moment. Noble gases already have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unlikely to form polar covalent bonds. Therefore, the molecules formed by noble gases are nonpolar.
18.
Titik didih dan titik leleh He hingga Xe di bawah suhu kamar, sebab ....
Correct Answer
A. Gaya tarik Van der Walls relatif lemah
Explanation
The correct answer is "Gaya tarik Van der Walls relatif lemah". This is because the boiling and melting points of He to Xe are below room temperature. This suggests that the intermolecular forces, specifically the Van der Waals forces, between the molecules of these elements are relatively weak. As a result, it requires less energy to break these forces and convert the substance from a solid or liquid to a gas at lower temperatures.
19.
Titik didih dan titik leleh gas mulia dari He hingga Xe makin tinggi, sebab ....
Correct Answer
D. Gaya Van der Walls makin kuat
Explanation
The correct answer is "Gaya Van der Walls makin kuat" because as we move from He to Xe, the size and number of electrons in the atoms increase, resulting in stronger Van der Waals forces between the atoms. This leads to higher boiling and melting points for the noble gases.
