7. Elements combine in many ways to form compounds. Which of the following is a compound? Correct Answer A) water B) oxygen C) nitrogen D) carbon

The answer is A. Water is a compound consisting of two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen.

The atoms in a molecule are held together by: A) gravitational attraction B) chemical bonds C) frictional forces D) physical bonds

The answer is B. The atoms in a molecule are held together by chemical bonds.

2. All of the following are classified as compounds except A) CO2. B) H2O. C) HCl. D) Pb2. .

The answer is D. Lead 2 is not a compound; it is a molecule of lead. Compounds consist of two or more atoms of different elements chemically combined together.

Compounds and mixtures are both made of two or more substances. However, there is a definite difference between the two types of substances. Identify that difference. Correct Answer A) Substances in compounds are chemically combined. B) Mixtures are liquids and compounds are solids. C) Mixtures are more difficult to separate into parts. D) Compounds are made from elements which are easily separated by physical means such as filtering.

The correct answer is A. Compounds are made of substances that are chemically combined, and, therefore, cannot be separated by ordinary means such as filtering. An example of a compound is table salt which is made of the elements sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). The substances that make up a mixture are not chemically combined and, therefore, can easily be separated by physical means. An example of a mixture is a salad because the different items in the salad can easily be separated.

1. Which of the following is not an example of a diatomic molecule? A) I2 B) SO2 C) Cl2 D) H2

The correct answer is B SO2 has more than one type of element. Diatomic molecules consist of one element. View Recommendations

13. A diatomic molecule is made from __________. A) any atom B) more than one kind of atom C) two atoms from the same element D) unstable atoms

The correct answer is C. A diatomic molecule consists of two atoms of the same element, such as O2, H2, or N2.

4. Identify the difference between elements and compounds. A) Elements contain more than one kind of atom, while compounds contain only one kind of atom. B) Elements can be separated by physical means while compounds cannot. Correct Answer C) Elements contain only one kind of atom, while compounds contain more than one kind of atom. D) Elements are acids while compounds are bases.

The correct answer is C. Compounds are substances that contain two or more kinds of atoms. Elements are substances that contain only one kind of atom.

1. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the dangers of releasing raw sewage and excess fertilizers into surface waters such as a pond? A) The pollutants provide extra food and cause animal populations to grow quickly. B) The pollutants can build up in the tissues of fish and harm those who eat them. C) Fish and other organisms die from a lack of food and oxygen. D) The pollutants contain large amounts of nitrogen which causes algae to grow quickly.
