Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of electrons in their outer electron shell

number of atomic mass units

number of electrons

number of electron shells


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.

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

37

27

41

-23


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


3

The brain and spinal cord make up the __________ nervous system.

81% Answer Correctly

peripheral

central

somatic

autonomic


Solution

The nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerve cells (neurons) that collect and distribute signals from the central nervous system throughout the body.


4

In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

62% Answer Correctly

domains

kingdoms

species

classes


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


5

The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

minerals

gaseous methane, ammonia, and water

frozen methane, ammonia, and water

rock


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
