3

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 electron shells

number of electrons


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.

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

58

-10

10

122


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


5

Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?

64% Answer Correctly

breaking down starches

absorbing nutrients

breaking down fats

breaking down proteins


Solution

Digestion begins in the mouth where the teeth and tongue break down food mechanically through chewing and saliva, via the enzyme salivary amylase, starts to break starches down chemically. From the mouth, food travels down the esophagus where contractions push the food into the stomach.
