Sample Questions

Question 1
An atom of chlorine-37 has an atomic number of 17. How many neutrons are in its nucleus?
17 neutrons
20 neutrons
37 neutrons
54 neutrons
Question 2
Which change would convert a nitrogen atom into a different element?
Adding one neutron to the nucleus
Changing the number of protons in the nucleus
Exciting an electron to a higher energy level
Removing one electron to form a cation
Question 3
Moving left to right across a period on the periodic table, atomic radius generally decreases. What best explains this trend?
Atoms gain more electron shells, so radius increases
Nuclear charge increases while electrons occupy the same principal shell, pulling the electron cloud closer
Atoms lose protons, so attraction to electrons weakens
Electrons become less tightly held because ionization energy always decreases
Question 4
In the balanced equation 2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O, how many moles of water form when 3.0 mol of H₂ react completely with excess oxygen?
1.5 mol H₂O
2.0 mol H₂O
3.0 mol H₂O
6.0 mol H₂O
Question 5
A student burns methane and measures a temperature increase in the surroundings. How should the reaction energy change be classified for the chemical system?
Endothermic, because heat flows into the system
Exothermic, because the system releases energy to the surroundings
Neither, because temperature change does not relate to energy
Endothermic, because bonds only break and never form
