A decomposition reaction always breaks down a compound into the elements that make up the compound.

False

An atom becomes a positive ion by gaining an electron.

False

Atoms gain or lose electrons in chemical reactions in order to increase their energy state.

False

Elements in the same row of the periodic table exhibit similar chemical properties.

False

In combination reactions, elements react to form compounds.

False

Ionic bonds occur between atoms from adjacent groups.

False

Substances that lose electrons in reactions are called oxidizing agents.

False

The -ide ending in nitrogen dioxide tells you that this is an ionic compound.

False

The atomic number of an element is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

False

The empirical formula gives the actual number of atoms of each kind in a compound.

False

The sum of the coefficients must be the same on both sides of a chemical equation.

False

When balancing a chemical equation, you need to change subscripts to make the number of atoms of an element the same on both sides of the equation.

False

The element M forms a stable ionic compound MCl2. If M were allowed to react with bromine, the resulting compound would have the formula

MBr2.

Atoms from an element in group VA are allowed to react with atoms from an element in group VIIIA. What type of compound is likely to form?

None of the above. ionic covalent polar

A covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons.

True

An electron moves from one orbital to another only when it absorbs or emits energy.

True

Atoms gain or lose electrons in order to attain a valence orbital arrangement like that of a noble gas.

True

Chemists effectively count atoms by weighing matter.

True

In a chemical equation, the reactants are found on the left side of the arrow.

True

J.J. Thomson discovered that cathode rays were really a stream of electrons.

True

Protons and neutrons have about the same mass.

True

Protons are so much more massive than electrons that you can neglect the mass of electrons when determining the mass of an atom.

True

The breaking and making of chemical bonds can explain chemical reactions and energy flow.

True

The representative elements have one to eight valence electrons.

True

The word halogen comes from the Greek, meaning salt-former.

True

When balancing a chemical equation, the number of H atoms in 2 CH4 is eight.

True

When compounds containing carbon and hydrogen are burned in air, the products are usually carbon dioxide and water.

True

Evidence of a chemical reaction includes

a color change. a change in temperature. the production of a gas. All of the above.

J. J. Thomson reasoned that cathode rays were really charged particles because

a magnet deflected cathode rays.

Which of the following is a sign of an ion exchange reaction?

a precipitate is formed.

When atoms of non-metallic elements react with one another, they tend to seek stability by

acquiring a noble gas electron arrangement.

Atoms that have eight valence electrons would tend to

be inert.

What is the correct name for the ionic compound, CaF2?

calcium fluoride

A chemical reaction is balanced by changing (the)

coefficients.

What type of chemical bond does the sharing of a pair of electrons form?

covalent

John Dalton reasoned that atoms exist from the evidence that

elements always combined in certain fixed ratios.

Atoms in an incandescent gas

emit characteristic frequencies of light.

The amount of energy released when wood is burned is

equal to the amount of solar energy that was stored by the plant.

The formation of an ionic bond

involves a transfer of one or more electrons. results in a release of energy. helps atoms achieve a noble gas electron arrangement. All of the above.

The reaction between water solutions of sodium chloride and silver nitrate produces a precipitate: NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s). This is an example of

ion exchange

Atoms from an element in group IIA are allowed to react with atoms from an element in group VIIA. What type of compound is likely to form?

ionic

In an ionic compound, the metal

is written first.

Which combination of elements results in the formation of a white crystalline solid that dissolves to form a solution that conducts electricity?

metal and non-metal

The smallest unit of a covalent compound that still retains the properties of the compound is called a(an)

molecule.

Neutral atoms of a given element all have the same

number of protons. atomic number. number of electrons. All of the above.

The formation of a positive ion

occurs when an electron is removed from an atom.

According to the quantum mechanical model, electrons exist in

orbitals.

The reaction 2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO is an example of

oxidation. combination. combustion. All of the above.

A chemical bond that involves somewhat unequal sharing of electrons is called

polar.

The atomic number of an element is the number of

protons.

An oxidizing agent is a substance that

removes electrons from another substance.

The reaction: 2 NaI + Cl2 → 2 NaCl + I2 is an example of

replacement.

the electron carries the smallest unit of electrical charge.

Because of our belief in the law of conservation of mass, it seems reasonable that

the number of atoms of reactants must equal the number of atoms of products.

When Rutherford found that some of the alpha particles fired at the gold foil were widely deflected, he concluded that

the positive charge in an atom is concentrated in a tiny nucleus.

Isotopes of an element are atoms that have
