3

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus

number of protons in the nucleus

number of neutrons in the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


4

In which type of compound are electrons shared between atoms?

56% Answer Correctly

covalent

chemical

ionic

molecular


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


5

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

68% Answer Correctly

reflection

conduction

convection

radiation


Solution

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