a)

b)

c)

d)

5.

What will happen to the atom represented by the Bohr model when it ionizes? Select all that applies.

a)

It will gain 2 electrons

b)

It will have 8 valence electrons

c)

It will develop a -2 charge

d)

It will be a cation

e)

It will be an anion

6.

Could this element represented by the Bohr model be boron (B)?

a)

No, Lewis structures only show valence electrons so this must be an element from group 15.

b)

Yes, boron has 5 electrons.

7.

A student made the statement that a nitrogen had 5 valence electrons and gained 3 electrons to form a -3 charge. Which of the statements below is a true statement?

a)

The nitrogen atom gained 3 electrons to empty the outer shell.

b)

The nitrogen atom gained 3 electrons in order to have 8 valence electrons.

c)

The statement is incorrect because nitrogen would lose 5 valence electrons and develop a +5 charge.

d)

The statement is not true because nitrogen would form a +3 charge.

8.

Why does atomic radius increase down a group?

a)

The number of particles in the nucleus increases.

b)

The number of valence electrons increases.

c)

The attractive force between the nucleus and the valence electrons decreases.
