    Elements form compounds in an attempt to

    • Become more stable

    • Disperse energy

    • Become inert

    • Gain energy

    Correct Answer
    A. Become more stable
    Explanation
    Elements form compounds in an attempt to become more stable. This is because elements have a tendency to fill their outermost electron shell, which is the most stable configuration. By forming compounds, elements can share, donate, or accept electrons to achieve a full outer shell, thereby increasing their stability. This process allows them to attain a lower energy state and reduces their reactivity, making them less likely to undergo chemical reactions.

    Boyle’s law states that a gas volume is inversely proportional to its pressure, at a constanttemperature. Which of the following statements best describes this relationship?

    • As pressure increases, volume decreases

    • As pressure increases, volume increases

    • As pressure increases, volume remains constant

    • As pressure decreases, volume remains constant

    Correct Answer
    A. As pressure increases, volume decreases
    Explanation
    Boyle's law states that as the pressure exerted on a gas increases, its volume decreases, assuming that the temperature remains constant. This means that there is an inverse relationship between pressure and volume. When pressure is increased, the gas molecules are forced closer together, resulting in a decrease in volume. Conversely, when pressure is decreased, the gas molecules have more space to move and the volume increases. Therefore, the statement "As pressure increases, volume decreases" accurately describes this relationship.

    Which of the physical states of matter lacks both volume and shape?

    • Solid and liquid

    • Liquid and gas.

    • Liquid only

    • Gas only.

    Correct Answer
    A. Gas only.
    Explanation
    Gas is the physical state of matter that lacks both volume and shape. Unlike solids and liquids, gases do not have a fixed shape or volume. They can expand and fill the space they are in, taking the shape of their container. The particles in a gas are highly energetic and move freely, allowing them to spread out and occupy any available space. Therefore, gas is the correct answer as it lacks both volume and shape.

    An anion has a negative charge when the

    • Atom has more neutrons than protons

    • Atom has fewer neutrons than protons

    • Atom has more protons than electrons

    • Atom has fewer protons than electrons

    Correct Answer
    A. Atom has fewer protons than electrons
    Explanation
    An anion has a negative charge because it has gained one or more electrons. Since electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more electrons than protons will have a net negative charge, resulting in an anion. Therefore, the correct answer is "atom has fewer protons than electrons."

    Which route of entry provides direct entry into the body, bypassing most of the body’sdefenses?

    • Absorption

    • Inhalation

    • Injection

    • Ingestion

    Correct Answer
    A. Injection
    Explanation
    Injection provides a direct entry into the body, bypassing most of the body's defenses. When a substance is injected, it is directly introduced into the bloodstream or tissues, allowing it to quickly reach its target and have a rapid effect. This route of entry avoids the barriers and protective mechanisms of the respiratory and digestive systems, such as mucus, enzymes, and acid in the stomach, which can neutralize or slow down the absorption of substances. Therefore, injection is often used for medications or substances that need to act quickly or bypass the body's natural defenses.

    • Use occupational and environmental health data for predicting potential exposures

    • Effectively anticipate and recognize when physical health threats exist.

    • Recommend measures to eliminate or control physical health threats

    • Responds to both deliberate and crisis events

    Correct Answer
    A. Use occupational and environmental health data for predicting potential exposures
    Explanation
    The example that best describes bioenvironmental engineering's primary capability of conducting predictive exposure assessments is using occupational and environmental health data for predicting potential exposures. This means that bioenvironmental engineers analyze data related to occupational and environmental health to predict and assess potential exposures to harmful substances or hazards. By doing so, they can identify and mitigate potential risks to individuals and the environment.

    Unsatured aliphatic hydrocarbons as opposed to saturated compounds are

    • More chemically reactive

    • Less chemically reactive

    • Do not react at all

    • React equally.

    Correct Answer
    A. More chemically reactive
    Explanation
    Unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, unlike saturated compounds, have double or triple bonds between carbon atoms. These double or triple bonds provide sites for chemical reactions to occur, making unsaturated hydrocarbons more chemically reactive. In contrast, saturated compounds have only single bonds, which are relatively stable and less likely to undergo chemical reactions. Therefore, unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons are more chemically reactive compared to saturated compounds.
