1

Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

67% Answer Correctly

fewer

equal numbers of

double the number of

more


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


2

Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.

57% Answer Correctly

positive, antigen

positive, negative

negative, positive

antigen, negative


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.


3

A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum

a sound wave is much slower than a light wave

a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic

all of these are correct


Solution

A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.


4

Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

products

ions

isotopes

reactants


Solution

The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.


5

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

products

side effects

reactants

results


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
