Q:

What is the purpose of balancing chemical equations?

A) law of conservation of energy B) law of conservation of mass
C) Both A & B D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) law of conservation of mass

Explanation:

The main purpose of balancing chemical equations is to make the mass of reactants is equal to mass of products obtained after the reaction. Hence, to make law of conservation of mass is purpose of balancing chemica equations.

Q:

What occurs when an atom loses an electron?

A) The atom's radius decreases and the atom becomes a positive ion. B) The atom's radius increases and the atom becomes a negative ion.
C) The atom's radius decreases and the atom becomes a negative ion. D) The atom's radius increases and the atom becomes a positive ion.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) The atom's radius decreases and the atom becomes a positive ion.

Explanation:

When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positive ion by acquiring negatively charged. When it loses electron, the atom's radius also decreased.

Q:

Which statement best describes the electronegativity of an element?

A) Electronegativity of an atom is it's ability to produce energy while losing an electron. B) Electronegativity of an atom is it's ability to attract electrons during bond formation.
C) Electronegativity of an atom is it's ability to lose electrons during cation formation. D) Electronegativity of an atom is it's ability to share electrons during a covalent bond formation.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Electronegativity of an atom is it's ability to attract electrons during bond formation.

Explanation:

Electronegativity, is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons (or electron density) towards itself.

Q:

The relationship between a cathode and an anode involves

A) Electrons B) Neutrons
C) Protons D) Diodes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Electrons

Explanation:

The relationship between a cathode and an anode involves the transfer of electric charge between them. The cathode is the negative terminal on the battery, which has zero electric potential. The anode is the positive terminal on the battery and has the battery's maximum electric potential. Current flows from the battery's anode (positive terminal) to the cathode (negative terminal). In electron flow, electrons leave the negative side of the battery and move towards the positive side of the battery.

 

Hence, The relationship between a cathode and an anode involves Electrons.
