1.

Which statement about the atomic

nucleus is correct?

a)

The nucleus is made of protons and

neutrons and has a negative charge.

b)

The nucleus is made of protons and

neutrons and has a positive charge.

c)

The nucleus is made of electrons and

has a positive charge.

d)

The nucleus is made of electrons and

has a negative charge.

2.

Using the periodic table, which of the

following statements is correct?

a)

Magnesium (Mg) has 25 electrons and a

mass number of 55.

b)

Magnesium (Mg) has 55 neutrons and

an atomic number of 25.

c)

Manganese (Mn) has 25 electrons and

30 neutrons.

d)

Manganese (Mn) has 25 electrons and

35 protons.

3.

An element has 7 valence electrons.

Predict how that element would behave.

a)

The element is in group 7. It is highly

reactive and has a charge of +7

because it loses 7 electrons.

b)

The element is in group 7. It is not

reactive and has a charge of -7 because

it gains 7 electrons.

c)

The element is in group 17. It is not

reactive and has a charge of +1

because it loses 1 electron.

d)

The element is in group 17. It is highly

reactive and has a charge of -1 because

it gains 1 electron.

4.

An element exhibits the following

characteristics. It is brittle, lustrous, not

ductile or malleable, a good conductor

when cool, and has an average

transmission of heat. What type of

element is this?

a)

Metal

b)

Metalloid

c)

Gas

d)

Non-metal

5.

A student was examining a sample of an

element in a gaseous state at room

temperature, and found after heating that

it has a low melting point and boiling

point. In which family below would the

element be grouped?

a)

Carbon Family

b)

Alkali Metals

c)

Halogens

d)

Transition Metals

6.

The protons and neutrons of three

carbon isotopes are shown.

Which BEST describes the difference

between carbon-12 and carbon-14?

a)

Carbon-12 has two less protons than

carbon-14.

b)

Carbon-14 has two more neutrons than

carbon-12.

c)

Carbon-12 has one more neutron than

carbon-14.

d)

Carbon-14 has one less proton than

carbon-12.

7.

Use the Periodic Table to determine

which of the following lists consists of

elements that have the MOST similar

chemical properties.

a)

Mg, Al, and Si

b)

K, Ca, and Ga

c)

Mg, Ca, and Ba

d)

K, Al, and Ni

8.

The atom in the diagram is

a)

beryllium.

b)

boron.

c)

neon

d)

silicon

9.

Alkali metals all have one electron in the

outer orbit of their atoms and they have

similar chemical and physical properties.

All are shiny and soft enough to cut with

a knife. Lithium and Francium are both

Alkali Metals. Even though they are in

the same family, why would Francium be

more reactive than Lithium?

a)

Both are similar in reactivity.

b)

When you move vertically down the

periodic table, elements gain more

valence electrons.

c)

When you move vertically down the

periodic table, elements become more

reactive.

d)

When you move vertically down the

periodic table, elements become more

stable.

10.
