Which of these represents a shared pair of electron in a Lewis dot structure?
- Dot
- Point
- Line
- Circle
Correct Answer

A. Line

Explanation

In a Lewis dot structure, the shared pair of electrons is represented by a line. This line indicates the sharing of electrons between two atoms, forming a covalent bond. The other options, dot, point, and circle, do not accurately represent the concept of a shared pair of electrons in a Lewis dot structure.

What does a Lewis structure represent between atoms of a molecule?
- Heat
- Transfer
- Bonding
- Energy
Correct Answer

A. Bonding

Explanation

A Lewis structure represents the bonding between atoms of a molecule. It shows how the atoms are connected to each other through chemical bonds, whether they are single, double, or triple bonds. The Lewis structure also indicates the arrangement of electrons around each atom, including lone pairs and shared pairs of electrons. This representation helps in understanding the overall structure and properties of the molecule, as well as predicting its reactivity and behavior.

As what must each electron first be placed?
- Lone pairs
- Valence electrons
- Absolute pairs
- Covalent bonds
Correct Answer

A. Lone pairs

Explanation

Each electron must first be placed as a lone pair. Lone pairs are pairs of electrons that are not involved in bonding and are found in the outermost energy level of an atom. These electrons are not shared with any other atom and are typically represented as dots around the atom's symbol. Before forming any covalent bonds or participating in any chemical reactions, electrons need to be placed as lone pairs.

6.

In form of which of these does a valence electron absorb or release energy?
- Dot
- Photon
- Proton
- Electron
Correct Answer

A. Photon

Explanation

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom that are involved in chemical bonding. They can absorb or release energy in the form of photons. Photons are packets of energy that can be absorbed by valence electrons, causing them to move to higher energy levels or released by valence electrons when they move to lower energy levels. This process is responsible for various phenomena such as the absorption or emission of light by atoms and molecules.

How many valence electrons have the boron group?
- 3
- 5
- 7
- 10
Correct Answer

A. 5

Explanation

The boron group refers to Group 13 elements in the periodic table, which includes boron, aluminum, gallium, indium, and thallium. These elements have 3 valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom that participate in chemical bonding. However, the correct answer provided is 5, which is incorrect.

What represents quantum number?
- Q
- N
- X
- Z
Correct Answer

A. N

Explanation

The quantum number "n" represents the principal quantum number in quantum mechanics. It determines the energy level or shell of an electron in an atom. The higher the value of "n", the higher the energy level and the farther the electron is from the nucleus. This quantum number helps to define the size and energy of an electron's orbital within an atom.

9.

How many valence electrons has phosphorus?
- 5
- 10
- 15
- 20
Correct Answer

A. 5

Explanation

Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom and determine the chemical properties of an element. Phosphorus is in group 15 of the periodic table, which means it has 5 valence electrons.

Which is a noble gas?
- Argon
- Lithium
- Oxygen
- Hydrogen
Correct Answer

A. Argon

Explanation

Argon is a noble gas because it belongs to the group of elements known as noble gases, which are characterized by their stable electron configurations. Noble gases have full outer electron shells, making them highly stable and unreactive. Argon specifically has a full outer electron shell with eight electrons, making it chemically inert. In contrast, lithium, oxygen, and hydrogen are not noble gases as they have different electron configurations and are more reactive.
