C

Which statement is correct? A) If the mass number of an atom changes, it becomes either an anion or a cation B) The mass number tells us how many protons are in the nucleus of that element C) If you change the mass number but not the atomic number, you are creating an isotope D) The atomic number tells us the total number of protons, neutrons, and electrons that are associated with an element

Bonds that share electrons are called _______________________, whereas bonds that have a complete electron transfer are called _____________________. A) ionic, covalent B) hydrogen, ionic C) intermolecular, ionic D) covalent, ionic

D

Which of the following statements is true? A) Neutrons have no mass B) Electrons are associated with the center of the atom, or nucleus C) Protons have a large mass compared to neutrons D) Having the right number of neutrons is an essential part of having a stable nucleus

D

Two nitrogen atoms are measured and weighed. The atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and we find that the first nitrogen atom has an atomic mass of 14, while the second nitrogen atom has an atomic mass of 13. Which of the following statements are true about the nitrogen atoms? A) They have the same number of neutrons but a different number of electrons B) We have found an isotope C) The two atoms have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons D) Both A and B E) Both B and C F) All of the above

B

Which statement is false regarding ionic bonds? A) A cation is an ion with a positive charge B) Neon and argon would form an ionic bond because they both have full electron shells C) In an ionic bond one atom has less electrons than protons and one atom has more electrons than protons D) In an ionic bond, the ions are trying to fill their electron shells and that is what attracts them to each other
