2. The atom's mass is found mostly in the 

Explanation

The correct answer is nucleus. The nucleus of an atom contains most of its mass because it is where the protons and neutrons are located. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, and together they make up the majority of an atom's mass. Electrons, on the other hand, have a very small mass and are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. Therefore, the majority of an atom's mass is concentrated in the nucleus.

Submit
3. An atom has 40 electrons and 46 neutrons. How many protons does it have?

Explanation

An atom is electrically neutral, meaning it has the same number of protons and electrons. Since the atom in question has 40 electrons, it must also have 40 protons to balance the charges. The number of neutrons does not affect the overall charge of the atom.

Submit
4. An atom has 22 electrons and 24 neutrons.  What is the atomic number?

Explanation

The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus. In this case, the atom has 22 electrons, which means it also has 22 protons since atoms are electrically neutral. Therefore, the atomic number is 22.

Submit
5. Anything that has weight and takes up space is called. ..........

Explanation

Matter refers to anything that has weight and takes up space. Atoms and compounds are types of matter, while noodles are not. Therefore, the correct answer is matter.

Submit
6. The charge of an  atom is 

Explanation

Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons carry a positive charge, electrons carry a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. In an atom, the number of protons and electrons is equal, resulting in a neutral charge overall. Therefore, the correct answer is neutral.

Submit
7. In an atom, the numbers of protons and electrons are...

Explanation

In an atom, the numbers of protons and electrons are the same. Protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, resulting in a balanced electrical charge. This balance allows the atom to remain stable and maintain its overall neutral charge.

Submit
8. Atoms can obtain full other shell by...

Explanation

Atoms can obtain a full outer shell by either losing or gaining electrons. This process is known as ionization. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because it now has more protons than electrons. Conversely, when an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged because it now has more electrons than protons. By either losing or gaining electrons, atoms are able to achieve a stable electron configuration and a full outer shell, which increases their stability and chemical reactivity.

Submit
9. An ion is an atoms that have..

Explanation

An ion is an atom that has gained or lost electrons. Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus of an atom. When an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes charged and forms an ion. If an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged and forms a negative ion or an anion. If an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged and forms a positive ion or a cation. Therefore, gaining or losing electrons is the correct explanation for the formation of ions.

Submit
10. The number of valence electrons are found by looking at the ____________ number.

Explanation

The number of valence electrons are found by looking at the group number. In the periodic table, elements are organized into groups based on their similar chemical properties. The group number represents the number of valence electrons an element has. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom and are responsible for the element's chemical behavior and reactivity. Therefore, by knowing the group number of an element, we can determine the number of valence electrons it has.

Submit
11. Pure Gold,  Pure Silver, and pure Oxygen are  all ...........

Explanation

The correct answer is "Elements." Pure Gold, Pure Silver, and pure Oxygen are all examples of elements. Elements are substances made up of only one type of atom, and they cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. In this case, Gold, Silver, and Oxygen exist in their pure form, meaning they are composed solely of atoms of their respective elements.

Submit
12. An atom that have gained electrons is an...

Explanation

When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged because the number of negatively charged electrons now exceeds the number of positively charged protons in the nucleus. This excess of electrons creates a negative ion. Therefore, the correct answer is a negative ion.

Submit
13. A very small particle of matter is called an .........

Explanation

An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element. It consists of a nucleus, which contains positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons, surrounded by negatively charged electrons. Atoms combine to form molecules, compounds, and elements. Therefore, an atom is the correct answer as it refers to a very small particle of matter.

Submit
14. In an ion the numbers of electrons are...

Explanation

In an ion, the numbers of electrons are not the same as the number of protons. This is because an ion is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons, resulting in an unequal number of electrons and protons. If an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion) with more electrons than protons. Conversely, if an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation) with fewer electrons than protons. Therefore, the number of electrons in an ion is not equal to the number of protons.

Submit
15. The rows of the Periodic Table are called

Explanation

The rows of the Periodic Table are called "Periods" because they represent the energy levels or shells in which the electrons of the elements are arranged. Each period corresponds to a specific number of electron shells, starting with the first period containing only one shell and increasing as you move down the table. The period number also indicates the highest energy level occupied by electrons in that row. Therefore, "Period" is the correct answer.

Submit
16. A particle has 25 protons, 22 electrons and 24 neutrons.  Which of these statement is true? 

Explanation

An ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge. In this case, the particle has 25 protons and 22 electrons, indicating a net positive charge of +3. Therefore, the particle is an ion.

Submit
17. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus and also identifies the element

Explanation

The statement is true because the atomic number of an element is indeed the number of protons in its nucleus. Each element has a unique atomic number, which determines its position on the periodic table and identifies the element. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

Submit
18. What is the difference between atoms and ions when it comes to the number of neutrons?

Explanation

Atoms and ions are both composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of neutrons in an atom is determined by the atomic mass, which can vary among different isotopes of the same element. When an atom becomes an ion, it gains or loses electrons, not neutrons. Therefore, the number of neutrons remains the same for both atoms and ions of the same element.

Submit
19. Two isotopes have the same number of

Explanation

Isotopes are the same element so they have the same number of protons. They differ in the number of neutrons

Submit
20. The atomic number of an element tells us the number of protons and neutrons in a specific isotope

Explanation

The atomic number of an element only tells us the number of protons in an atom, not the number of neutrons. Neutrons can vary in number within different isotopes of the same element, so the atomic number alone cannot determine the number of neutrons.

Submit
21. The energy level is found by looking at the __________ number

Explanation

The energy level is found by looking at the period number. In the periodic table, the elements are arranged in periods, which represent the number of electron shells or energy levels an atom has. Each period corresponds to a specific energy level, with the first period having one energy level, the second period having two energy levels, and so on. Therefore, by identifying the period number of an element, we can determine its energy level.

Submit
22. Most of the atoms volume (space) is

Explanation

Atoms are composed of a nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, and an electron cloud, where electrons orbit around the nucleus. The nucleus is very small compared to the overall size of the atom, so most of the atom's volume is actually empty space. This means that the majority of an atom's volume is not occupied by the nucleus or the electron cloud, but rather is empty.
