1. QuestionMultiple choice

What does the atomic number of an element represent?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is The number of protons in its nucleus.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: The number of protons identifies the element and is its atomic number.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

The number of protons identifies the element and is its atomic number.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

What is an isotope?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is An atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: Isotopes have the same proton number but different neutron numbers.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

Isotopes have the same proton number but different neutron numbers.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which type of bond forms when atoms share electrons?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Covalent bond.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: Covalent bonds involve sharing pairs of electrons between atoms.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

Covalent bonds involve sharing pairs of electrons between atoms.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What happens to reaction rate when temperature increases for many reactions?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Particles collide more often with enough energy to react.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: Higher temperature generally increases particle motion and effective collisions.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

Higher temperature generally increases particle motion and effective collisions.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation shows conservation of atoms in a chemical reaction?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: Two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule provide the same number of each atom as two water molecules.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

Two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule provide the same number of each atom as two water molecules.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A solution has a pH of 2. How is it classified?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Strongly acidic.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: A pH well below 7 indicates an acidic solution.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

A pH well below 7 indicates an acidic solution.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Which change is endothermic?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Melting ice.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: Melting requires the substance to absorb thermal energy.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

Melting requires the substance to absorb thermal energy.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

What does a catalyst do in a chemical reaction?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is It provides a lower-energy reaction pathway.

  1. Identify the evidence: Read the model, data, or scenario and identify the scientific quantities and relationships provided.
  2. Apply the science idea: A catalyst changes reaction rate without being consumed overall.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the conclusion or calculation is consistent with the evidence and units.

A catalyst changes reaction rate without being consumed overall.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

Why does increasing concentration often increase reaction rate?

Please select an answer first.
