Oxygen, O (atomic number 8), is in group 16 in the periodic table. What would happen to this oxygen-16 atom if it loses two protons and two neutrons?

• Nitrogen-14 would be the end product

• It would become the isotope oxygen-12.

• It would transform into the atom carbon-12.

Which two elements will have similar physical and chemical properties

• Br and Se

• Ca and Mg

• Ge and Se

• K and Mg

Using the data on the periodic table provided, which of the following statements is TRUE?

• The number of valence electrons increase going from left to right because more electrons are added on the outermost energy level.

• . All of the transition metals are solids because they have more in common with metals than they do with nonmetals.

• The noble gases are found on the right side of the periodic table because that is where the nonmetals are found.

• All metals form negative ions because they give up electrons to form bonds in compounds.

As a scuba diving air tank is filled with air, the air is compressed in the tank to as much as 3000 psi of pressure. When filling the tank, it is observed that the tank becomes warmer. Which argument BEST explains why this occurs?

• When air is put into the tank, it expands rapidly, thereby raising the temperature.

• When air is compressed, it turns solid. A short time later, the air evaporates back into a gas which releases heat.

• Air molecules are free to move and as more air is added to the tank, the molecules move and collide faster which raises the temperature.

• When air is compressed, the molecules line up into a crystalline structure. As the molecules line up, they release energy in the form of heat.

• chlorine oxide

• . dichlorine oxygen

• dichlorine monoxide

• dichlorine oxide
