Chemistry Questions

Q:

Atoms of the same element can differ in

A) Atomic number B) Atomic mass
C) electrons D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Atomic mass

Explanation:

Atoms of the same element can have same atomic number and number of electrons since, the atomic number is the number of protons and the number of protons and eectrons are the same in an element.

 

Hence, the atoms of the same element may differ in their atomic mass since it depends on the number of neutrons it holds and such atoms are called isotopes.

Q:

Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are

A) Transfer of electrons B) Sharing of electrons
C) Dividing of electrons D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Sharing of electrons

Explanation:

Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.

 

Examples of compounds with covalent bonds ::

HCl, CO2, O2,...

Q:

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different

A) numbers of neutrons B) numbers of electrons
C) numbers of protons D) atomic numbers
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) numbers of neutrons

Explanation:

Isotopes are variations of an element that have the same charge as the original element, but a different mass, which is caused by either more/less neutrons in the nucleus.
