1 Which phrase describes an Al atom? (1) a negatively charged nucleus, surrounded by negatively charged electrons (2) a negatively charged nucleus, surrounded by positively charged electrons (3) a positively charged nucleus, surrounded by negatively charged electrons (4) a positively charged nucleus, surrounded by positively charged electrons | 3 | nucleus =Positive electrons=negative | |
2 What is the number of electrons in an atom that has 20 protons and 17 neutrons? (1) 37 (3) 3 (2) 20 (4) 17 | 2 | atom=neutral....protons=electrons | |
3 The mass of a proton is approximately equal to the mass of (1) an electron (3) an alpha particle (2) a neutron (4) a beta particle | 2 | neutron...both 1 amu | |

4 When a sample of CO2(s) becomes CO2(g), there is a change in (1) bond type (2) gram-formula mass (3) molecular polarity (4) particle arrangement | 4 | gases separated solids close together | |
5 Which properties are characteristic of Group 2 elements at STP? (1) good electrical conductivity and electronegativities less than 1.7 (2) good electrical conductivity and electronegativities greater than 1.7 (3) poor electrical conductivity and electronegativities less than 1.7 (4) poor electrical conductivity and electronegativities greater than 1.7 | 1 | all metals so they conduct electronegativities are very small | |
