Ernest Rutherford fired positively charged alpha particles at gold foil. A few of the alpha particles were deflected slightly or bounced off. From this data scientists concluded

a)

The nucleus is very small and has no charge.

b)

The nucleus is very diffuse and the protons and neutrons are very far apart.

c)

The nucleus is very small and is positively charged.

d)

The nucleus contains electrons which attracted the positively charged alpha particles.

4.

a)

an electron moving from E6 to E5

b)

an electron moving from E2 to E4

c)

an electron moving from E2 to E3

a)

1s2 2s2 2p3

b)

1s2 2s3 2p2

c)

1s2 2s3 2p1

d)

1s2 2s2 2p2 3s1

6.

The orbital notation for an atom is shown. Choose the statement that represents the element and the reason for the answer.

a)

The element is Boron because the atom contains 1 electron in the 3p sublevel.

b)

The element is Lithium because the atom contains 3 electrons.

c)

The element is Aluminum because the atom contains 1 electron in the 3p sublevel.

d)

The element is Ne because the valence shell is completely filled.

7.

Mendeleev's periodic table contained empty spaces. Which statement correctly explains the importance of those spaces?

a)

The empty spaces represented elements that had not been discovered. The table predicted the properties of the unknown elements.

b)

The empty spaces represent elements that could not exist because of periodic trends.

c)

The empty spaces represented new isotopes of previously discovered elements.

d)

The empty spaces showed the electron configurations of the ions in the periodic table.

8.

A new element is discovered. Scientists observe that the element is solid, shiny, and conducts electricity. Which group of elements would the new element best be grouped with?

a)

Nonmetals

b)

Metals

c)

Noble gases

d)

Metalloids

9.

Which electron configuration below represents an atom that has 8 valence electrons?

a)

1s02s1

b)

1s2s2s

c)

1s22s22p2

d)

1s22s22p6

10.

Which of the following electron configurations describes a transition metal?

2s1

b)

⌈Ar⌉\lceil Ar\rceil  4s23d10

c)

1s22s22p2

d)

1s22s22p6

11.

In the periodic table, as the atomic number increases from 11 to 17 what happens to the atomic radius?

a)

it remains constant since the number of electron shells is constant.

b)

it increases only since more electrons take up more room.

c)

it increases, then decreases since different sublevels are being filled.

d)

it decreases only because the effective nuclear charge is increasing as the number of protons increase.

12.

The atom that contains only one electron in the highest occupied energy sublevel.

a)

S

b)

Ca

c)

Ga

d)

Br

13.

Which group in the periodic table are the most difficult to ionize?

a)

Noble gases because their valence shells are filed with electrons.

b)

Alkali metals because they have electrons in the 1s sublevel.

c)

Halogens because they only lack 1 electron from having a filled valence shell.

d)

Transition metals because of their high effective nuclear charge.

14.

Which group are the most likely to form negative ions to achieve a filled valence electron shell.

a)

Noble gases

b)

Alkali metals

c)

Halogens

d)

Transition metals
