What is the chemical formula for magnesium bromate?

• MgBr

• MgBr₂

• MgBrO₃

• Mg(BrO₃)₂

Answer explanation

Mg is 2+ and BrO3 is 1-, so as indicated by the formula Mg(BrO₃)₂

How are compounds with metallic bonds similar to ionic compounds?

• Both tend to have double and triple bonds

• Both tend to have low boiling points

• Both tend to have poor conductivity

• Both tend to have high melting points

Answer explanation

Both tend to have high melting points

Which of these elements has the greatest atomic radius?

• H

• N

• Cl

• Cs

Answer explanation

Cs has the greatest atomic radius among the given elements as it is located at the bottom of the periodic table, indicating larger atomic size. Atomic radius tends to increase to the left and to the bottom on the P.T.

How does the amount of heat energy change as a 250-g sample of water is heated from 5.0°C to 30.0°C?

• The amount of heat energy increases, causing the water to sublime.

• The amount of heat energy increases, causing the water to evaporate.

• As the temperature increases, the amount of heat energy decreases.

• As the temperature increases, the amount of heat energy increases.

Answer explanation

Temperature as a measure of the average kinetic energy, which relates to the heat

This graph represents data collected when a sample of a gas is uniformly cooled from 155°C. Why does the temperature of the sample remain constant between point X and point Y?

• because the sample is transitioning from a gaseous state to a solid state

• because the sample is transitioning from a gaseous state to a liquid state

• because the sample is transitioning from a solid state to a gaseous state

• because the sample is transitioning from a liquid state to a solid state
