1

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

gas

solid

plasma

liquid


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.


2

__________ is caused by a lack of Vitamin C.

64% Answer Correctly

anemia

scurvy

shingles

diabetes


Solution

Scurvy is a difficiency disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C in the diet.

62% Answer Correctly

scavengers

carnivores

omnivores

herbivores


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.


4

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

36

-36

-4

78


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


5

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

group

family

period

atomic number


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
