1.

Which of the following explanations BEST describes how an atom emits color?

a)

Electrons jump to higher energy levels and specific wavelengths are emitted as the electrons return to the ground state.

b)

Electrons jump to higher energy levels and specific wavelengths are emitted as the electrons move to the excited state.

c)

Protons jump to higher energy levels and specific wavelengths are emitted as the electrons return to the ground state.

d)

Protons jump to higher energy levels and specific wavelengths are emitted as the electrons move to the excited state.

2.

Use the information to answer the following question. 

What is the identity of the unknown element and why is the color emitted? 

a)

Strontium, because electrons move from ground state to excited state to emit light.

b)

Strontium, because as electrons fall back from an excited state to ground state, they emit light.

c)

Potassium, because electrons move from a ground state to an excited state to emit light

d)

Potassium, because as electrons fall back from an excited state to ground state, they emit light

3.

If n = 3, l = 1 and the element has three valence electrons, what element is this?

a)

Boron

b)

Aluminum

c)

Lithium

d)

Phosphorous

4.

When an anion forms:

a)

A metal has gained electrons

b)

A non-metal has gained electrons

c)

A metal has lost electrons

d)

A non-metal has lost electrons

6.

Why did scientists place Helium in group #8?

a)

Helium has 8 valence electrons

b)

Helium has 8 total electrons

c)

Helium is a metal

d)

Helium has a full outer energy level

7.

What is the result of the formation of every ion?

a)

A stable octet of electrons

b)

Fusion of atoms

8.

Use the information to answer the following question. 

The element iridium (Ir) has two naturally occurring isotopes, Iridium-191 (191 amu) and Iridium-193 (193 amu). The average atomic mass of iridium listed on the periodic table is 192.2 amu. 

Which naturally occurring isotope, iridium-191 or iridium-193, is the MOST abundant?

a)

Iridium-191 because it has a lower mass

b)

Iridium-193 because it has a greater mass

c)

Iridium-191 because the average atomic mass of the element is closer to its mass

d)

Iridium-193 because the average atomic mass of the element is closer to its mass
