High melting points, good conductors of electricity, malleable, ductile

b)

Low melting points, poor conductors of electricity, brittle, non-ductile

c)

High melting points, poor conductors of electricity, brittle, non-ductile

d)

3.

Generally, what can be said about the properties of the elements that are in the same column?

a)

They have similar properties.

b)

They have completely different properties.

c)

They have no properties in common.

d)

4.

Define: Reactants

a)
Substances present at the end of a chemical reaction
b)
Substances that are not involved in a chemical reaction
c)
Substances that are only present in physical reactions
d)
Substances present at the start of a chemical reaction
5.

What is the law of conservation of mass and what does it have to do with balancing equations?

a)
The law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged. Balancing equations ensures that the same number of each type of atom is present on both sides of the equation, thus following the law of conservation of mass.
b)
The law of conservation of mass states that mass can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction
c)
Balancing equations ensures that the number of atoms on each side of the equation is different
d)
The law of conservation of mass has no relation to balancing equations
