Multiple Choice

A(n) _____ is a chemically pure substance that is made of two or more atoms bonded together. The atoms can be of the same or of different elements

• Element

• Compound

• Mixture

• Molecule

Multiple Choice

Why do elements bond?

• To be friends
• To create a new element
• To become stable

Multiple Choice

How are covalent bonds formed?

• Sharing of electrons
• Transfer of electrons

Multiple Choice

How are ionic bonds formed?

• Transfer of electrons
• Sharing of electrons

Multiple Choice

What is a valence electron?

• The sum of neutrons and protons.
• The # of electrons in the last shell.
• A type of bond.
• A popular compound.

Multiple Choice

The octet rules states that most elements want to have _____ valence electrons.

• 2

• 4

• 6

• 8

Multiple Choice

How many valence electrons does Oxygen (O) have?

• 6

• 8

• 15

• 16

Multiple Choice

What type of bonding does this picture show?

• Ionic

• Covalent

Why water is polar:

Sharing of electrons is unequal between atoms

-The electrons spend more time around the oxygen atom, making the oxygen more negative.
-Because electrons spend less time around the hydrogen atoms, they are more positive.
-Causes the molecule to be bent.

Multiple Choice

A water molecule is a _______ since the negative end of one water molecule is attracted to the positive end of another water molecule.

• polar molecule
• sustain life
• surface tension
• specific heat

Multiple Choice

A liquid substance capable of dissolving other substances is called a...

• solvent
• solute
• solution

Multiple Choice

An attraction between molecules of different substances is called...

• cohesion
• adhesion

Multiple Choice

Water is called the ________ because it dissolves so many substances.

• surface tension
• universal solvent
• capillary action
• specific heat

Multiple Choice

Why does ice float?

• water expands when it freezes, making ice less dense than water

• water compacts when it freezes, making ice more dense than water

• hydrogen bonds in water push the ice to the surface

• ice is afraid of water, and avoids it

Multiple Choice

What is the correct chemical formula for water?

• H₂O

• HO₂

• H₂O₂

• ₂H₁O

Multiple Choice

You body sweats to help prevent you from overheating. How does water regulate temperature?

• it lets heat pass through it

• it absorbs a lot of heat, then decreases in temperature

• it absorbs a lot of heat, but only increases a little in temperature

• heat is afraid of water and avoids it

Multiple Choice

A water strider can skate along the top of a pond because:

• covalent bonds result in water cohesion (surface tension)

• hydrogen bonds result in water cohesion (surface tension)

• water striders have adapted to take advantage of water cohesion

• water striders are afraid of water and avoid it

Multiple Choice

Peyton wants to see if the salinity of water affects the population numbers of anchovies in a local body of water.

What would be the INDEPENDENT variable in his experiment?

• Biomass of aquatic plants

• Level of salinity in a given area

• Water temperature

• Total number of fish observed
