    Where are valence electrons located?

    • The innermost electron shell

    • The second electron shell

    • The outermost electron shell

    Correct Answer
    A. The outermost electron shell
    Explanation
    Valence electrons are located in the outermost electron shell. These are the electrons involved in chemical bonding and determining the reactivity of an atom. The outermost shell, also known as the valence shell, is responsible for forming bonds with other atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration.

    How many electrons are needed to fill the innermost electron shell?

    • 2

    • 4

    • 6

    • 8

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    The innermost electron shell, also known as the first shell, can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. This is because the first shell consists of only one subshell, which is the s subshell, and this subshell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Therefore, 2 electrons are needed to fill the innermost electron shell.

    How many electrons are needed to fill the electron shells beyond the first one?

    • 2

    • 4

    • 6

    • 8

    Correct Answer
    A. 8
    Explanation
    The electron shells beyond the first one can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. This is based on the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have a full outer shell of 8 electrons. Therefore, 8 electrons are needed to fill the electron shells beyond the first one.

    Cl is changed to Cl-. What must have happened?

    • Cl lost an electron

    • Cl gained an electron

    • Cl lost a proton

    • Cl gained a proton

    Correct Answer
    A. Cl gained an electron
    Explanation
    When Cl is changed to Cl-, it means that Cl has gained an electron. This is because Cl- indicates that chlorine now has one more electron than its neutral state, Cl. Electrons have a negative charge, so when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged. Therefore, Cl gaining an electron is the most plausible explanation for the given scenario.

    According to Bohr's model of the atom:

    • Electrons orbit the nucleus in random paths.

    • Electrons move in fixed orbits at specific energy levels.

    • Electrons and protons are evenly distributed in the nucleus.

    • Electrons are continuously moving towards the nucleus.

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrons move in fixed orbits at specific energy levels.
    Explanation
    Bohr's model revolutionized atomic theory by proposing that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed paths at specific energy levels. This quantized arrangement explains the stability of atoms, as electrons neither spiral into the nucleus nor escape into infinity. The model laid the foundation for understanding the discrete nature of electron orbits.

    In Bohr's model, when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower one:

    • It absorbs energy.

    • It emits energy.

    • It remains in the same energy level.

    • Its energy level becomes unpredictable.

    Correct Answer
    A. It emits energy.
    Explanation
    In Bohr's atomic model, when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower one, it releases energy as a photon. This emission occurs as the electron's energy decreases and stabilizes in a lower orbit. The concept elucidates the quantized nature of energy levels and photon emission in atomic systems.
