Rare Earth Element
Nonmetal
Metalloid
Metal
30s - Q2
If an element is shiny, ductile, malleable, and can conduct electricity, what category would it belong in?
Metal
Nonmetal
Rare Earth Element
Metalloid
30s - Q3
What are two properties that make a metal a good choice to use as a wire in electronics?
luster, malleability
ductility, conductivity
high melting point, luster
conductivity, malleability
30s - Q4
Antimony is an element on the periodic table. It has the following characteristics. Solid, conducts electricity under certain circumstances, looks shiny, and breaks when hit with a hammer. What category would Antimony belong in?
Metalloid
Metal
Nonmetal
30s - Q5
Elements that share common characteristics are grouped
together on the periodic table. In which part of the table
would you MOST LIKELY find an element that is a gas at
room temperature?
The zigzag line toward the right on the table
The two rows shown separately below the table
The right side of the table
The left side of the table
30s - Q6
Rare earth elements are shown on two lines below the periodic table.
Does this location indicate that rare earth elements have different
properties than metals?
B No. Rare earth elements are nonmetals that are placed there to
separate them from the metals.
A No. Rare earth elements are metals that are placed there to make the
table easier to read.
Yes. Rare earth elements are metalloid elements that are not metals or
30s - Q7
The periodic table organizes elements based on their properties.
Which statement BEST describes a pattern shown by the periodic table?
Elements in a column of the table have the same chemical and physical
properties
Elements in a row of the table have similar chemical properties.
Properties cannot be predicted by the position of the element on the
Table.
Elements in a column of the table have similar chemical properties.
30s - Q8
A physical property is a characteristic of matter that can be
observed or measured without changing the identity of the
matter.
Why is iron’s tendency to rust NOT a physical property?
It is not a physical property because iron is magnetic.
It is not a physical property because the identity of iron
remains unchanged when it rusts.
It is not a physical property because a new substance
with new properties forms when iron rusts
It is not a physical property because the change cannot
be observed.
30s - Q9
A scientist decided to use hydrochloric acid to test a piece of
metal to find evidence that it was the element zinc, which
undergoes a chemical reaction with hydrochloric acid.
What evidence would indicate to a scientist that a chemical
reaction had NOT LIKELY occurred?
Decrease in the mass of the solution
Change in the temperature of the solution
No visible change to the solution
Bubbling of the solution
30s - Q10
When 5 g of solid zinc is placed into a beaker that holds 15 g
of a hydrochloric acid solution, bubbles of hydrogen form.
The mass of the contents of the beaker after the reaction is
less than 20 g.
Which statement BEST explains the difference in mass?
It is expected because some atoms are used up in each
chemical reaction.
The lower mass is a result of the hydrogen gas leaving the beaker
The solid zinc reacted, so some of its mass was lost
during the reaction.
The solid zinc did not react completely, so not all of the
atoms of reactants could become part of the products.
30s - Q11
The two types of change to matter are physical changes and chemical
changes.
Which of these statements correctly describes a change to a substance?
Boiling water is a physical change because forming bubbles is always
evidence of a physical change.
Freezing water is a chemical change because the ice formed is a new
substance.
Coloring a piece of paper with a crayon is a chemical change because
a color change is always evidence of a chemical change.
Rusting of iron is a chemical change because the iron oxide that is
formed is a new substance.
30s - Q12
Metalloids would MOST LIKELY be used to make
semiconductor components?
truefalseTrue or False30s - Q13
Samarium is an element on the periodic table that is silvery and can be used to produce strong permanent magnets. What category would Samarium MOST LIKELY be classified as?
Metalloid
Metal
Rare Earth Element
Nonmetal
30s - Q14
This illustration shows a part of the Periodic Table.
Which pair of elements is MOST LIKELY to have similar properties?
A B and C
B C and Ge
C Ge and As
D Ga and N
C and Ge
Ga and N
Ge and As
30s - Q15

Selenium
Aluminum
Xenon
Antimony
