Answer |
Explanations |
1 On the modern Periodic Table, the elements are
arranged in order of increasing
(1) atomic mass (3) mass number
(2) atomic number (4) oxidation number |
2 |
atomic number , the masses have a
few hiccups |
2 Which particle has a mass that is approximately
the same as the mass of a proton?
(1) an alpha particle (3) a neutron
(2) a beta particle (4) a positron |
3 |
neutron 1 amu
proton 1 amu |
3 An atom of an element forms a 2+ ion. In which
group on the Periodic Table could this element
be located?
(1) 1 (3) 13
(2) 2 (4) 17 |
2 |
group 2 are 2+ |
4 Which statement describes the relative energy
of the electrons in the shells of a calcium atom?
(1) An electron in the first shell has more energy
than an electron in the second shell.
(2) An electron in the first shell has the same
amount of energy as an electron in the
second shell.
(3) An electron in the third shell has more energy
than an electron in the second shell.
(4) An electron in the third shell has less energy
than an electron in the second shell. |
3 |
the higher the energy level the
greater the energy |
5 According to the electron-cloud model of the
atom, an orbital is a
(1) circular path traveled by an electron around
the nucleus
(2) spiral path traveled by an electron toward
the nucleus
(3) region of the most probable proton location
(4) region of the most probable electron
location |
4 |
definition of an orbital |
6 What can be determined if only the atomic
number of an atom is known?
(1) the total number of neutrons in the atom,
only
(2) the total number of protons in the atom,
only
(3) the total number of protons and the total
number of neutrons in the atom
(4) the total number of protons and the total
number of electrons in the atom |
4 |
atom protons equal electrons
atomic number are the # of protons |
 |
2 |
see table N for example |

9 Samples of four Group 15 elements, antimony,
arsenic, bismuth, and phosphorus, are in the
gaseous phase. An atom in the ground state of
which element requires the least amount of
energy to remove its most loosely held electron?
(1) As (3) P
(2) Bi (4) Sb |
