Explanation / Answer

Question 1)

Answer: option A

Reason: mass number=number of protons +number of Neutrons

Question 2)

Answer: option C

Reason: because the atomic number is given by the protons present in the nucleus

Question 3)

Answer: option D

Reason: elements in a periodic table with similar chemical properties have the same number of valence electrons,

Question 4)

Answer: option C

Reason: indicated by the arrow in the given reaction.

Question 5)

Answer: option A

Reason: because it is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Question 6)

Answer: option D

Reason: because it is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms.

Question 8)

Answer: option A

Reason: a polar bond is the kind of covalent bond where electrons are not shared equally

Question 9)

Answer: option A

Reason: cohesive, that's the name of the property that allows molecules of the same compound to stick together.

Question 10)

Answer: option B

Reason: hydrophilic, that means it has an attraction for water

Question 11)

Answer: option C

Reason: at the bottom, the denser is something, more tendency to go down

Question 12)

Answer: option D

Reason: heat capacity, that's a property that measures the amount of heat a substance can absorb.

Question 13)

Answer: option B

Reason: acidic because in the pH scale anything below 7 is acidic

Question 14)

Answer: option A

Reason: acids because Arrhenius defined an acid as a substance that gives protons in water.

Question 15)

Answer: option D

Reason: buffers because they can support pH changes.
