1.The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic structure.

The periodic
table has rows (called periods) and columns (called groups). The group tells you how
many valence electrons the element possesses, whereas the period tells you how many
energy levels the atom has. Here is a simplified period table showing the first three
periods of the Group A elements:

How many valence electrons does a carbon


atom (symbol C)
have?
(A) 4
(B) 6
(C) 12
(D) 18
2. Choose the best answer to the question.

Which statement about Group 1 of the periodic table is FALSE?


A. Every element in the group has the same number of protons.
B. Every element has the same number of electrons in its outer
shell.
C. The elements in the group have similar properties.
D. The elements in the group can bond with another element
easily.
3. Directions: Choose the best answer to each question.
1. Potassium bromide has an ionic bond created by reactions between atoms of
potassium and bromine. Which statement is
true about potassium bromide?
A. Bromine transfers one electron to potassium.
B. The potassium bromide ionic bond is impossible to break.
C. The potassium atom is positively charged.
D. The bromine atom is positively charged.
4. A scientist collects data on the solubility of different salts at different temperatures.
The results are shown in the graph.

Which conclusion is supported by the data in the


graph?

A. Solubility always increases as temperature


increases.
B. At 40°C, KCl has the highest solubility of the
salts in the table.
C. The rate of change in the solubility of KNO3
changes as temperature increases.
D. The solubility of NaCl does not increase with
increasing temperatures above 80°C.
5. Claims and evidence in science
Two chemists are designing instant hot and cold packs for a sports medicine supply
company. Their design uses chemicals that react with water to either heat up or cool down
the water inside the packs. They are investigating the reaction of ammonium chloride with
water to determine whether it is exothermic or endothermic.
Chemist A read a study done recently by the National Institute for Standards and Testing,
which reported that 27.6 kilojoules of energy are absorbed by 100 grams of ammonium
chloride when it is mixed with water. Chemist B measured the temperature of the water in
which the reaction takes place before and after the reaction. The results are displayed in
the table
Question:
Does Chemist B's results support or contradict the evidence reported by
Chemist A? You may use the calculator.

A. Chemist B's results supports Chemist A's data because the reaction gains
less energy than the water does.
B. Chemist B's results contradicts Chemist A's data because it indicates that
the reaction gains energy instead of losing it.
C. Chemist B's results contradicts Chemist A's data because it indicates that
the temperature of the reaction should go up rather than down.
D. Chemist B's results supports Chemist A's data because the lower
temperature of the water indicates that energy is absorbed by the
reaction.

6. Which of the following describes isotopes?

A. Two atoms have the same number of neutrons and the same
number of protons.
B. Two atoms have different numbers of neutrons, but the same
number of protons.
C. Two atoms have the same number of neutrons, but different
numbers of protons.
D. Two atoms have the same number of neutrons, but different
numbers of electrons.
