Name of student:
QI. Choose and tick the correct answer
1 A negatively charged particle moving around the nucleus of an
atom.
a. Compound b. Electron c. Atom d. proton
A positively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom
a. Electron b. Proton c Element
3 Why does an atom have no net electric charge?
a. Its subatomic particles carry no electrical charge.
b. The positively charged protons cancel out the negatively
charged neutrons.
c. The positively charged neutrons cancel out the negatively
charged electrons .
d The positively charged protons cancel out the negatively
charged electrons.
4 What is an isotope?
a. An element with equal number of protons and neutrons
b. An elements with differing numbers of protons and electrons
c. An element with differing number of protons and neutrons
d. An element with equal number of protons and electrons
5 Compared to the charge and mass of a proton, an electron has
a. the same charge and a smaller mass
b. the same charge and the same mass
c. opposite charge and smaller mass
d. opposite charge and the same mass
6 A proton has approximately the same mass as
a. a neutron b. a beta particle. c. an alpha particle d. an electron
7. What is the nucleus made of
a. Protons b. Neutrons c. Electrons d. Protons and neutrons
8 .If atoms of a halogen nonmetal gain one electron, the atoms then
have
a. no valence electrons
b. 7 valence electrons
c. 8 valence electrons
d. 17 valence electrons
c) Sulphur 16 2,8,6
d) Magnesium 12 2,8,2
Q V. Give reasons
a) Why the valency of sodium, magnesium and aluminium is +1,
+2and +3.
Ans--As they have 1,2,3 electrons in their valence shell.
If they loose these electrons they achieve stable configuration.
Q VI. If an atom A has atomic number 19 and mass number 39. Write
its electronic configuration and number of valence electrons.
_____Electronic configuration 19 2,8,8,1
Valence electrons 1
