In one of our experiments, we tested several elements using different properties to see if we could find elements that could be grouped together if they share some properties.
- One of those properties that we tested was the ability to react with oxygen to make an "oxide" . Which of the following is true about this property?
- A.
It is a physical property because you can test elements without changing them into something else.
- B.
It is a chemical property because you can test elements without changing them into something else.
- C.
It is a chemical property because when you can test it the element changed into something else.
- D.
It is a physical property because when you can test it the element changed into something else.
Correct Answer
C. It is a chemical property because when you can test it the element changed into something else.Explanation
The ability of an element to react with oxygen and form an oxide is a chemical property because it involves a chemical change. When an element reacts with oxygen, it undergoes a chemical reaction and transforms into a different substance, which is the oxide. This is different from a physical property, which can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. Therefore, the correct answer is that it is a chemical property because when you test it, the element changes into something else.Rate this question:

Assume that you have the technology to cut a piece of gold into the smallest piece possible. What would you be left with?
- A.
A molecule of gold that you could see with a microscope
- B.
There is no such thing as "smallest piece possible" because you could keep splitting it forever
- C.
A single atom of gold that is too small to be seen
- D.
Nothing, because there is nothing when you get that small
Correct Answer
C. A single atom of gold that is too small to be seenExplanation
When a piece of gold is cut into the smallest piece possible, it would be left with a single atom of gold that is too small to be seen. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, and they cannot be divided further without losing their identity. Since gold is made up of atoms, cutting it into the smallest piece would result in a single atom. This atom would be too small to be seen with the naked eye due to its microscopic size.Rate this question:

Who discovered energy levels?
- A.
Rutherford
- B.
Thomson
- C.
Democritus
- D.
Bohr
Correct Answer
D. BohrExplanation
Bohr is the correct answer because he proposed the concept of energy levels in atoms. In 1913, Niels Bohr introduced his atomic model, which stated that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells. These energy levels are quantized, meaning that electrons can only exist in certain discrete energy states. This model successfully explained the stability of atoms and the emission and absorption of light. Bohr's discovery of energy levels revolutionized our understanding of atomic structure and laid the foundation for modern quantum mechanics.Rate this question:

A very thin piece of iron is placed in the path of a beam of alpha particles. What do you expect will happen?
- A.
Most alpha particles will bounce off the iron
- B.
The iron will stop the alpha particles
- C.
Most of the particles will pass right through iron
- D.
The alpha particles will knock out the iron particles
Correct Answer
C. Most of the particles will pass right through ironExplanation
Alpha particles are large and heavy compared to other types of particles, such as electrons. They have a positive charge and high energy. When alpha particles pass through a very thin piece of iron, most of them will pass right through because the iron atoms are mostly empty space. The positive charge of the alpha particles is not strong enough to interact significantly with the iron atoms. Therefore, the majority of the alpha particles will not be deflected or stopped by the iron and will continue on their path.Rate this question:

Nucleus
Correct Answer
E. NucleusExplanation
Ernest Rutherford helped to discover the nucleus. He conducted the famous gold foil experiment in which he bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles. Through this experiment, he observed that most of the alpha particles passed straight through the foil, but a few were deflected at large angles. Rutherford concluded that the deflections were due to a small, dense, and positively charged region at the center of the atom, which he called the nucleus. This discovery revolutionized the understanding of atomic structure and paved the way for further advancements in nuclear physics.Rate this question:

- A.
Bohr
- B.
Rutherford
- C.
Thomson
- D.
Dalton
Correct Answer
C. ThomsonExplanation
The correct answer is Thomson because his atomic model, also known as the "plum pudding" model, proposed that atoms are composed of positively charged particles with negatively charged electrons embedded within them. This model was based on the discovery of electrons and their properties, and it was a significant contribution to the understanding of atomic structure. Rutherford's model came after Thomson's and proposed the existence of a small, dense nucleus at the center of the atom, while Bohr's model incorporated the concept of energy levels and orbits for electrons. Dalton's atomic theory laid the foundation for modern atomic theory but did not provide a specific model of the atom.Rate this question:
