    Which of the following is not a basic part of an atom?

    • Electron

    • Proton

    • Neutron

    • Coulomb

    Correct Answer
    A. Coulomb
    Explanation
    Coulomb is not a basic part of an atom. An atom consists of three basic particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons. Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus, and neutrons are neutral particles also found in the nucleus. Coulomb, on the other hand, is a unit of electric charge and is not a fundamental particle of an atom.

    What is the smallest element of a matter?

    • Atom

    • Molecule

    • Crystal

    • Wafer

    Correct Answer
    A. Atom
    Explanation
    An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains the chemical properties of an element. It consists of a nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, and electrons orbiting around the nucleus. Atoms combine to form molecules, crystals, and other structures, but an individual atom is considered the smallest building block of matter. Therefore, the smallest element of matter is an atom.

    In electricity, positive electric charge refers to ____________.

    • Protons

    • Neutrons

    • Electrons

    • Atoms

    Correct Answer
    A. Protons
    Explanation
    Positive electric charge refers to protons because protons are subatomic particles that carry a positive charge. In an atom, protons are found in the nucleus, along with neutrons, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. Protons play a crucial role in determining the overall charge of an atom, as the number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines its atomic number and identifies the element. Therefore, positive electric charge is associated with protons in electricity.

    A commonly used model in predicting the atomic structure of a material.

    • String model

    • Wave model

    • Particle model

    • Bohr model

    Correct Answer
    A. Bohr model
    Explanation
    The Bohr model is a commonly used model in predicting the atomic structure of a material. It was proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913 and is based on the idea that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells. This model successfully explains many phenomena, such as the emission and absorption spectra of elements. However, it has limitations and is not completely accurate for more complex atoms. Nonetheless, the Bohr model laid the foundation for the development of modern quantum mechanics.

    Is at the center of an atomic structure in a Bohr model.

    • Electrons

    • Protons

    • Neutrons

    • Nucleus

    Correct Answer
    A. Nucleus
    Explanation
    In a Bohr model of an atomic structure, the nucleus is at the center. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, which are tightly packed together. Electrons revolve around the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells. Therefore, the correct answer is nucleus.

    To determine whether a material can support the flow of electricity or not, we need to examine its

    • Atomic structure

    • Physical state

    • Molecular structure

    • Chemical composition

    Correct Answer
    A. Atomic structure
    Explanation
    To determine whether a material can support the flow of electricity or not, we need to examine its atomic structure. The arrangement and behavior of atoms in a material determine its electrical conductivity. Materials with free or loosely bound electrons in their atomic structure are good conductors of electricity, while materials with tightly bound electrons are insulators. Therefore, understanding the atomic structure of a material is crucial in determining its ability to support the flow of electricity.

    What is the charge of an electron?

    • 1.6022 x 10^-19 C

    • 9.1096 x 10^-19 C

    • 1.6022 x 10^-31 C

    • 9.1096 x 10^-31 C

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.6022 x 10^-19 C
    Explanation
    The charge of an electron is 1.6022 x 10^-19 C. This is the correct answer because it is a well-known and accepted value in physics. The charge of an electron is a fundamental constant and is a basic property of electrons. It is commonly used in equations and calculations involving electricity and magnetism.

    What particles that revolve around the positive nucleus?

    • Electrons

    • Protons

    • Neutrons

    • Electrons & protons

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrons
    Explanation
    Electrons are the particles that revolve around the positive nucleus. They have a negative charge and are attracted to the positive charge of the nucleus. Electrons are found in energy levels or shells around the nucleus and play a crucial role in chemical reactions and the formation of chemical bonds. Protons, on the other hand, are positively charged particles that are present in the nucleus, while neutrons have no charge and are also found in the nucleus.

    Known as the simplest type of atom.

    • Oxygen

    • Hydrogen

    • Nitrogen

    • Helium

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrogen
    Explanation
    Hydrogen is known as the simplest type of atom because it consists of only one proton and one electron. It is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe. Hydrogen is the building block for all other elements and is essential for the formation of stars and galaxies. It is also a key component of water and many organic compounds.

    The nucleus of an atom is normally

    • Neutral

    • Positively charged

    • Negatively charged

    • Either positively or negatively charged

    Correct Answer
    A. Neutral
    Explanation
    The nucleus of an atom is normally neutral because it contains an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. The positive charge of the protons cancels out the negative charge of the electrons, resulting in a neutral overall charge for the nucleus.

    The lightest kind of atom or element

    • Helium

    • Oxygen

    • Hydrogen

    • Titanium

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrogen
    Explanation
    Hydrogen is the lightest kind of atom or element because it has the smallest atomic mass. It consists of only one proton and one electron, making it the simplest and lightest element on the periodic table. Helium, oxygen, and titanium all have larger atomic masses compared to hydrogen, making them heavier elements.
