F3 Chemistry Chapter 6 Quiz Answers
1. Which element is the most reactive non-metal?
A. F B. Cl C. Ne D. Ar
(Ne and Ar are noble gases which are unreactive. F and Cl are in Group VII. Reactivity in Group VII
decreases down the Group, so F is more reactive than Cl.)
2. Which element is the most abundant element on the Earth?

A. C B. O C. Al D. Si
(A lot of compounds are formed from oxygen and other elements.)
3.
A. (1) and (2) only

B. (1) and (3) only
C. (2) and (3) only
D. (1), (2) and (3)
(Nitrogen has 7 electrons, so the electronic arrangement is 2,5. So (1) and (2) are correct. (3) is wrong.
It should be the relative ISOTOPIC mass is 14. The relative ATOMIC mass is the weighted average mass of
all the isotopes of nitrogen.)
4. Which of the following metals reacts with water most vigorously?

A. Li B. Na C. K D. Rb
(All are in group I. Reactivity of Group I increases down the group. Rb is the most reactive among these
four elements.)
5. Given the atomic number of rubidium is 37.
A. B. C. D.
(Alkali metal means it is in Group 1, so s is 1. There are 37 electrons in rubidium, so r = 37-2-8-18-1=8.
6. Radium is a Group II element in Period 7. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

A. A radium atom has two electrons in its outermost shell.
B. Radium reacts with water to give hydrogen.
C. Radium hydroxide is an alkali.
D. Radium is an alkali metal. (Group II is called alkaline earth metals.)
7. Which of the following statements about chlorine and bromine is INCORRECT?

A. They are coloured substances.
B. The have the same physical state at room conditions. (Cl is a gas, Br is a liquid.)
C. They belong to the same group in the Periodic Table.
D. They react with metals to form ionic compounds.
8.
A. (1) and (2) only

B. (1) and (3) only
C. (2) and (3) only
D. (1), (2) and (3)
9.
A. (1) and (2) only

B. (1) and (3) only
C. (2) and (3) only
D. (1), (2) and (3)
( (2) is wrong. Elements in the same period have the same number of occupied electron shells.)
10. Potassium and bromine are arranged in the same period because
A. they can react to form a compound.
B. both are reactive.
C. their atoms have the same number of electrons in their second electron shell.
D. their atoms have the same number of occupied electron shells
(Both of them are in the same period. So they both have the same number of occupied electron
shells.)
11. Element X has an atomic number of 16. It belongs to

A. Group I.
B. Period 2.
C. Group VI.
D. Period 7.
(Electronic arrangement is 2,8,6. There are 6 electrons in the outermost shell. So it is in Group VI.
There are 3 occupied electron shells, so it is in Period 3.)
12.
A. B. C. D.
(Magnesium is in Group II: alkaline earth metal.)
13. The chemical properties of an element are mainly due to
A. the atomic size.
B. the number of neutrons.
C. the number of outermost shell electrons.
D. the number of occupied electron shells.
14. Which of the following comparisons in reactivity is correct?

A. I is less reactive than Cl. (Reactivity of Group VII decreases down the group.)
B. Na is less reactive than Mg. (Group I is more reactive than Group II.)
C. K is less reactive than Li (Reactivity of Group I increases down the group, K is more reactive than Li.)
D. O is less reactive than N. (O is more reactive than N.)
15.
A. (1) and (2) only

B. (1) and (3) only
C. (2) and (3) only
D. (1), (2) and (3)
( (3) is wrong. Group II reactivity increases down the group.)
16. Which of the following statements about halogens is correct?

A. All are gases. (F and Cl are gases, bromine is a liquid, iodine is a solid.)
B. They are in the same group of the Periodic Table as they have the same number of occupied electron
shells. (They are in the same group because they have the same number of outermost shell
electrons.)
C. Their reactivity increases down the group. (Reactivity of Group VII decreases down the group.)
D. Bromine is a reddish brown liquid at room temperature and pressure.
17.
A. (1) and (2) only

B. (1) and (3) only
C. (2) and (3) only
D. (1), (2) and (3)
( (2) is wrong because helium has only two electrons.)
