1

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

51% Answer Correctly

number of atomic mass units

number of electron shells

number of electrons in their outer electron shell

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.


2

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

58% Answer Correctly

animalia

archaea

bacteria

eukaryota


Solution

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


3

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

temperate front

stationary front

warm front

cold front 


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.


4

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-36

-4

78

36


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

Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

48% Answer Correctly

plasma

capillaries

veins

arterioles


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
