What is matter?
A collection of atoms that cannot interact
A type of energy that can be measured
A substance that can only exist in solid form
Any material that has mass and occupies space
What is the smallest unit of an element that can participate in a chemical reaction?
Molecule
Ion
Compound
Atom
What are ions?
Atoms that cannot participate in reactions
Atoms that are always neutral
Only negatively charged particles
Atoms or groups of atoms that carry an electric charge
What is a cation?
A neutral molecule
An atom with no charge
A positively charged ion
A negatively charged ion
Who proposed the Atomic Theory in 1808?
Albert Einstein
John Dalton
Erwin Schrödinger
Niels Bohr
What does the atomic number of an element represent?
The mass of the atom
The total number of particles in an atom
The number of protons in the nucleus
The number of neutrons in the nucleus
What is the mass number of an atom?
The total number of electrons
The average mass of all isotopes
The sum of protons and neutrons
The number of protons only
What are isotopes?
Atoms that cannot exist independently
Atoms that are always radioactive
Atoms of the same element with different mass numbers
Atoms of different elements
What does the empirical formula represent?
The molecular weight of a substance
The simplest ratio of atoms in a compound
The actual number of atoms in a molecule
The total mass of a molecule
What is the Law of Definite Proportions?
All compounds contain the same elements in different proportions
All pure samples of a compound contain the same elements in the same proportion by mass
Elements can combine in any ratio
Compounds can vary in composition
What is a radical in chemistry?
A type of ion
A neutral atom
A charged group of atoms that behaves as one unit
An uncharged molecule
What is the relationship between empirical and molecular formulas?
Molecular formula is always smaller than empirical formula
Molecular formula = n × Empirical formula
Empirical formula is the same as molecular formula
They are unrelated
What is the significance of the Law of Multiple Proportions?
It states that elements can combine in any ratio
It helps chemists understand how atoms join to create different substances
It applies only to gases
It is irrelevant to chemical reactions
What is the main modification to Dalton's theory regarding atoms?
Atoms cannot combine
Atoms of the same element are identical
Atoms can be created and destroyed
Atoms are indivisible
