Exploring the Building Blocks of Chemistry

Tanner, Mikey, and Kaylee are working on a science project about atoms in their school. They are trying to figure out what the center of an atom is referred to as. Can you help them?

• Electron cloud

• Nucleus

• Proton

• Neutron

Eli and Bella are working on a school project about the chemistry of baking. They are discussing about a type of bond that is formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms, which is crucial in the formation of water molecules in the dough. Can you tell Tanner which type of bond they are referring to?

• Ionic bond

• Covalent bond

• Metallic bond

• Hydrogen bond

Tanner, Eli, and Paislee are working on a science project about elements. They found an element and are wondering what the atomic mass of that element is primarily composed of. Can you assist them?

• The number of protons

• The number of electrons

• The number of protons and neutrons

• The number of neutrons

Eli, Paislee, Kaylee, Tanner, and Mikey are working on a chemistry project about elements. They are debating about the meaning of an element's atomic number. Eli believes it represents the number of neutrons, Paislee thinks it's the number of protons, Tanner argues it's the total number of protons and electrons, while Mikey insists it's the total number of protons and neutrons. Kaylee is unsure. Who is correct?

• Eli - The number of neutrons

• Paislee - The number of protons

• Tanner - The total number of protons and electrons

• Mikey - The total number of protons and neutrons

Kaylee, Paislee, Bella, Mikey, and Eli are working on a science project about atomic structures. They are examining a neon light bulb and learned that neon has an atomic number of 10. They are curious to know how many energy levels would be filled in a neon atom?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Kaylee, Eli, and Tanner are working on a school project about the periodic table. While arranging the elements, Eli asks, 'What is the term for the rows on the periodic table?'

• Groups

• Periods

• Families

• Series

Tanner, Eli, and Bella are working on a science project about atomic structure. They are particularly interested in the energy levels of an atom. If they were to focus on the second energy level of an atom, what is the maximum number of electrons it can hold?

• 2

• 8

• 18

• 32

Tanner, Bella, and Mikey are baking a cake for their chemistry project. They need to use an ingredient that is an element with an atomic number of 6. Which element should they use?

• Oxygen

• Carbon

• Nitrogen

• Hydrogen

While baking a cake, Mikey, Eli, and Bella were discussing the ingredients. They started talking about salt and its chemical properties. Bella wondered what the name given to the vertical columns in the periodic table is, where elements like sodium from salt are listed. Can you help them?

• Periods

• Groups

• Series

• Clusters

Bella, Eli, and Tanner are working on a science project about chemical bonding. They are specifically interested in covalent bonds. Can you help them identify the types of elements that form a covalent bond?

• Two metals

• Two nonmetals

• A metal and a nonmetal

• A metal and nonmetal
