  • 1. 

    Which drawing represents a correct Bohr's Model?

    • A. 

      A

    • B. 

      B

    • C. 

      C

    Correct Answer
    C. C
    Explanation
    Drawing A is not correct as it shows the electrons in the nucleus and the protons in the electron shell. Drawing B is not correct as it shows the electrons in the nucleus and the neutrons in the electron shell. Drawing C is correct.

    Which class of elements is to the left of the zig-zag line on the periodic table of elements?

    • A. 

      Metals

    • B. 

      Non-metals

    • C. 

      Metalloids

    Correct Answer
    A. Metals
    Explanation
    To help answer this question, find the zig-zag line on the periodic table of elements. Look for metals you are familiar with on the table. You should find iron, gold, silver and many others on the left side of the zig-zag line. This is your clue that this is the area that has the metals. Non-metals are to the right of the zig-zag line. Metalloids are found along the zig-zag line.

    Correct Answer
    19
    Explanation
    The atomic mass is the larger number in the element box.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which class of element is sulfer (S)?

    • A. 

      Metal

    • B. 

      Non-metal

    • C. 

      Metalloid

    Correct Answer
    B. Non-metal
    Explanation
    To help answer this question, find the zig-zag line on the periodic table of elements. Look for metals you are familiar with on the table. You should find iron, gold, silver and many others on the left side of the zig-zag line. This is your clue that this is the area that has the metals. Non-metals are to the right of the zig-zag line. Since sulfur is in this area, it is a non-metal. Metalloids are found along the zig-zag line.
