1

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

51% Answer Correctly

number of electrons

number of electrons in their outer electron shell

number of atomic mass units

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.


2

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

57% Answer Correctly

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


3

Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?

67% Answer Correctly

reflection

convection

conduction

radiation


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.


4

A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:

79% Answer Correctly

community

biome

population

ecosystem


Solution

An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

0

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

100

-100


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)
