Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    What is a micelle?

    • A.

      A cluster of soap molecule beads

    • B.

      A hydrophobic end of a soap molecule

    • C.

      Soap polarity

    • D.

      A hydrophilic end of a soap molecule

    Correct Answer
    A. A cluster of soap molecule beads
    Explanation
    A micelle is a cluster of soap molecule beads. When soap is dissolved in water, the hydrophobic ends of the soap molecules cluster together in the center, forming a core, while the hydrophilic ends face outward, interacting with the water molecules. This arrangement allows the soap molecules to effectively surround and trap dirt and oil, allowing them to be washed away. So, a micelle can be described as a cluster of soap molecule beads.

    What is an ion?

    • A.

      An electrically charged particle (atom or molecule) whose charge is determined by the loss or gain of electrons.

    • B.

      An electrically charged particle (atom or molecule) whose charge is determined by the sharing of electrons.

    • C.

      An negatively charged particle (atom or molecule).

    • D.

      The electrically charged particles of Ca2+, Mg2+ presence in water.

    Correct Answer
    A. An electrically charged particle (atom or molecule) whose charge is determined by the loss or gain of electrons.
    Explanation
    An ion is an electrically charged particle, either an atom or a molecule. The charge of the ion is determined by whether it has gained or lost electrons. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged, and when it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged. This charge imbalance is what gives ions their electrical charge.

    Ionic bonding allows atoms to have complete outer shells by: 

    • A.

      Ionic bonding allow atoms to have complete outer shells by transferring electrons. Ionic bonding is when one or more electrons are removed from one atom and gained and attached to another atom. This results in positive and negative ions that attract each other.

    • B.

      Ionic bonding allow atoms to have complete outer shells by sharing electrons. Ionic bonding is when one or more electrons are shared from one atom with another atom. This results in a shared valence.

    • C.

      Ionic bonding is a chemical compound formed by the joining of two or more atoms.

    • D.

      An ionic bond forms a stable compound through the sharing and transfer of valence electrons.

    Correct Answer
    A. Ionic bonding allow atoms to have complete outer shells by transferring electrons. Ionic bonding is when one or more electrons are removed from one atom and gained and attached to another atom. This results in positive and negative ions that attract each other.
    Explanation
    Ionic bonding allows atoms to have complete outer shells by transferring electrons. When one or more electrons are removed from one atom and gained and attached to another atom, positive and negative ions are formed. These ions attract each other, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond. This bond helps in achieving a stable electron configuration for both atoms involved in the bonding process.

    • A.

      Ionic bonding is the trading or transfer of electrons from one atom to another that enables the atoms to have complete outer shells.

    • B.

      Ionic bonding removes weak electrons from one atom enabling another atom to have strong electronegativity in its outer shell.

    • C.

      Ionic bonding enables one atom to release an electron and vacate its outer shell.

    • D.

      Ionic bonding is the sharing of electrons of atoms that enable the atoms to have complete outer shells.

    Correct Answer
    A. Ionic bonding is the trading or transfer of electrons from one atom to another that enables the atoms to have complete outer shells.
    Explanation
    Ionic bonding is the correct answer because it involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, allowing both atoms to achieve a complete outer shell. This process satisfies both atoms because it enables them to achieve a stable electron configuration, which is energetically favorable. By transferring electrons, one atom gains a positive charge (cation) while the other gains a negative charge (anion), resulting in an electrostatic attraction between the two oppositely charged ions. This attraction forms the ionic bond and allows both atoms to achieve a more stable state.

    Refer to the diagram above:What causes the water molecule to encircle the Sodium Chloride solute?

    • A.

      The slightly negative side of the water, H2O, molecule is Oxygen. The negative Oxygen is attracted to the positive Sodium (Na+) ion of the Sodium Chloride molecule. The slightly positive side of the H2O, molecule is Hydrogen. The positive Hydrogen is attracted to the negative Chloride (Cl-) ion of Sodium Chloride. This attraction separates each Na+ Cl- ion from each other. As the water molecules encircle ions on each polar side and surrounds each ion, a hydration shell forms preventing the ions from re-bonding, dissolving the salt.

    • B.

      The slightly negative side of the water, H2O, molecule is Hydrogen. The negative Hydrogen is attracted to the positive Sodium (Na+) ion of the Sodium Chloride molecule. The slightly positive side of the H2O, molecule is Oxygen. The positive Oxygen is attracted to the negative Chloride (Cl-) ion of Sodium Chloride. This attraction separates each Na+ Cl- ion from each other. As the water molecules encircle ions on each polar side and surrounds each ion, a hydration shell forms preventing the ions from re-bonding, dissolving the salt.

    • C.

      The slightly positive side of the water, H2O, molecule is Oxygen. The positive Oxygen is attracted to the negative Sodium (Na-) ion of the Sodium Chloride molecule. The slightly negative side of the H2O, molecule is Hydrogen. The negative Hydrogen is attracted to the positive Chloride (Cl+) ion of Sodium Chloride. This attraction separates each Na+ Cl- ion from each other. As the water molecules encircle ions on each polar side and surrounds each ion, a hydration shell forms preventing the ions from re-bonding, dissolving the salt.

    • D.

      The slightly positive side of the water, H2O, molecule is Oxygen. The positive Oxygen is attracted to the positive Sodium (Na+) ion of the Sodium Chloride molecule. The slightly negative side of the H2O, molecule is Hydrogen. The negative Hydrogen is attracted to the negative Chloride (Cl-) ion of Sodium Chloride. This attraction separates each Na+ Cl- ion from each other. As the water molecules encircle ions on each polar side and surrounds each ion, a hydration shell forms preventing the ions from re-bonding, dissolving the salt.

    Correct Answer
    A. The slightly negative side of the water, H2O, molecule is Oxygen. The negative Oxygen is attracted to the positive Sodium (Na+) ion of the Sodium Chloride molecule. The slightly positive side of the H2O, molecule is Hydrogen. The positive Hydrogen is attracted to the negative Chloride (Cl-) ion of Sodium Chloride. This attraction separates each Na+ Cl- ion from each other. As the water molecules encircle ions on each polar side and surrounds each ion, a hydration shell forms preventing the ions from re-bonding, dissolving the salt.
    Explanation
    The water molecule, H2O, has a slightly negative side, which is the oxygen atom, and a slightly positive side, which is the hydrogen atoms. This polarity causes the oxygen atom to be attracted to the positive sodium ion (Na+) of the sodium chloride molecule, while the hydrogen atoms are attracted to the negative chloride ion (Cl-). This attraction between the water molecule and the ions separates each sodium and chloride ion from each other. As the water molecules surround each ion on their polar sides, a hydration shell is formed, preventing the ions from re-bonding and dissolving the salt.

    How are covalent and ionic bonds different?

    • A.

      Covalent bonds share electrons in the valence. Ionic bonds are formed when one atom loses an electron and it becomes a positive ion and the atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively charged ion because it has gained an electron.

    • B.

      Covalent bonds are formed when one atom loses an electron and it becomes a positive ion and the atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively charged ion because it has gained an electron. Ionic bonds share electrons in the valence.

    • C.

      Covalent bonds have a neutral electronegativity. Ionic bonds create anions.

    • D.

      Covalent bonds make new elements. Ionic bonds create cations and anions.

    Correct Answer
    A. Covalent bonds share electrons in the valence. Ionic bonds are formed when one atom loses an electron and it becomes a positive ion and the atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively charged ion because it has gained an electron.
    Explanation
    Covalent bonds and ionic bonds differ in terms of electron sharing and electron transfer. Covalent bonds occur when atoms share electrons in their valence shells, resulting in a stable molecule. On the other hand, ionic bonds form when one atom completely loses an electron and becomes a positively charged ion, while another atom gains that electron and becomes a negatively charged ion. This transfer of electrons creates an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions, forming an ionic compound.

    Which is the correct explanation for how table salt, Na+Cl-, ionically bonds?

    • A.

      The strong electron attraction that causes the pairing of a loss and a gain is the ionic bond. Sodium (Na) has 11 electrons with 1 valance electron. Chlorine (Cl) has 17 electrons with 7 in its valence outer orbit. If Sodium looses its valance electron, its next shell will be full (with 8 electrons). That would make Sodium a positive ion. If Chlorine gains that 1 valance electron, its shell would be full with a maximum of 8 electrons, and it would then be a negative ion.

    • B.

      The uneven electron attraction that causes the pairing of a loss and a gain is the ionic bond. Sodium (Na) has 17 electrons with 7 in its outer orbit. Chlorine has 11 electrons with 1 valance electron. If Sodium gains one electron it fills it’s valance and is a negative ion. If Chlorine looses 1 electron to Sodium, its next shell is full with 8 electrons and it becomes a positive ion.

    • C.

      The attraction balance of electrons causes ionic bonding. Sodium (Na) has 8 electrons with 6 in its outer orbit. Chlorine has 12 electrons with 2 in its outer orbit. If Sodium gains two electrons it fills it’s valance and is a negative ion. If Chlorine looses 2 electrons to Sodium, it's next shell is full with 8 electrons and becomes a positive ion.

    • D.

      An ionic bond occurs whenever an atom with s low electronegativity pairs with an atom of a higher electronegativity. Sodium has a strong electronegativity and Chlorine does not, so they can form an ionic bond.

    Correct Answer
    A. The strong electron attraction that causes the pairing of a loss and a gain is the ionic bond. Sodium (Na) has 11 electrons with 1 valance electron. Chlorine (Cl) has 17 electrons with 7 in its valence outer orbit. If Sodium looses its valance electron, its next shell will be full (with 8 electrons). That would make Sodium a positive ion. If Chlorine gains that 1 valance electron, its shell would be full with a maximum of 8 electrons, and it would then be a negative ion.

    A compound is different from an element because a compound is:

    • A.

      Made of two or more elements chemically combined.

    • B.

      The building block of all matter.

    • C.

      A mixture of elements.

    • D.

      A pure substance.

    Correct Answer
    A. Made of two or more elements chemically combined.
    Explanation
    A compound is different from an element because it is made of two or more elements chemically combined. This means that the atoms of different elements in a compound are bonded together in a specific ratio, forming a new substance with different properties than the original elements. In contrast, an element consists of only one type of atom and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Therefore, the fact that a compound is made of chemically combined elements sets it apart from both mixtures of elements and pure substances.

    Magic Milk: What causes the food coloring to burst away from the drop of soap?

    • A.

      Milk is mostly water, but it also contains tiny droplets of fat (lipid) suspended in the milk. Fats and proteins are sensitive to changes in the surrounding solution (the milk). Like other oils, milk fat is a non-polar molecule. It doesn’t dissolve in water. The tiny drop of soap is enough to break up and collect the fat molecules in the milk. Soap micelles surround the milk fat. As the soap molecules race around, bending and twisting to join up with the molecules of milk fat, it sends a ripple through the milk in all directions. The food coloring molecules are bumped and shoved everywhere. As the soap joins up with as many molecules as it can the action slows down and eventually stops. This is why milk with a higher fat content produces a better explosion of color—there’s just more fat to combine with all of those soap molecules.

    • B.

      Milk is mostly water, but it also contains tiny droplets of fat (lipid) suspended in the milk. Fats are sensitive to changes in the milk. Milk fat is a non-polar molecule. It doesn’t dissolve in water. The tiny drop of soap is enough to break the surface tension of the fat. The soap micelles surround the milk fat and form big color beads that roll around and bump the food coloring in all directions. The food coloring molecules are bumped and shoved everywhere.

    • C.

      Milk is all fat with a little water. Milk is sensitive to changes in the water. The tiny drop of soap is enough to turn the fat into a polar molecule and attract the water and food coloring. This causes the ripple of color in the milk.

    • D.

      Water is non-polar. Milk has fat and is non-polar and polar. When soap is introduced, the surface tension of the milk is broken and the milk fats chase the food coloring molecules to attach to them. This causes the ripple of color in the milk.

    Correct Answer
    A. Milk is mostly water, but it also contains tiny droplets of fat (lipid) suspended in the milk. Fats and proteins are sensitive to changes in the surrounding solution (the milk). Like other oils, milk fat is a non-polar molecule. It doesn’t dissolve in water. The tiny drop of soap is enough to break up and collect the fat molecules in the milk.

This is why milk with a higher fat content produces a better explosion of color—there’s just more fat to combine with all of those soap molecules.
    Explanation
    The tiny drop of soap breaks up and collects the fat molecules in the milk. Soap micelles surround the milk fat and as the soap molecules race around, they join up with the molecules of milk fat, causing a ripple through the milk. This movement of the soap molecules bumps and shoves the food coloring molecules, causing them to spread everywhere. The soap continues to join up with as many fat molecules as it can until it eventually slows down and stops. Milk with a higher fat content produces a better explosion of color because there is more fat to combine with the soap molecules.

    • A.

      A compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements.

    • B.

      A compound is an element that is made up of at least two different kinds of atoms.

    • C.

      A compound is a molecule that shares electrons.

    • D.

      A compound is the smallest particle that can exist on its own of an element.

    Correct Answer
    A. A compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements.
    Explanation
    A compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements. This means that in order for a molecule to be classified as a compound, it must consist of atoms from at least two different elements. This is because compounds are formed when atoms of different elements chemically combine, resulting in a new substance with unique properties. On the other hand, not all molecules are compounds because some molecules can consist of atoms from only one element, such as diatomic molecules like oxygen (O2) or nitrogen (N2). Therefore, the statement correctly explains the difference between compounds and molecules.
