What does that tell us about the electron configuration of the atom?Same electronic configurationSame number of electron shellssame number of electrons in the outer shellSame number of electrons in the inner shellQuestion 5 of 16 Loading... 6. Explain, in terms of the arrangement of electrons in its atoms, why neon is very unreactiveNeon has an even number of electrons so it does not need to form bondsNeon is a noble gasNeon has 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it is full. Therefore it does not easily gain or lose electronsNeon has the same number of electrons and protons so it is unreactiveQuestion 6 of 16 Loading... 7. In the dot and cross diagram of the outer electrons showing the covalent bonding in a molecule of chlorine (Cl₂), how many electrons should be shown in areas 1, 2 and 3?There should be four electrons in each of areas 1, 2 and 3There should be two electrons in area 2 and seven in each of areas 1 and 3There should be four electrons in area 2 and three in each of areas 1 and 3There should be two electrons in area 2 and six in each of areas 1 and 3Question 7 of 16 Loading... 8. Do larger molecules have higher or lower boiling points than smaller molecules?It depends on which atoms are presentLowerSize doesn\'t affect boiling pointHigherQuestion 8 of 16 Loading... 9. How many electrons in the outer shell of group 2 elements?1023Question 9 of 16 Loading... 10. Explain why methane gas, CH₄, is a gas at room temperatureMethane has a giant covalent structure with many weak covalent bonds which require little energy to overcomeMethane has a giant covalent structure with many strong covalent bonds which require a lot of energy to overcomeMethane has a simple molecular structure with weak intermolecular forces that require little energy to overcomeMethane has a simple molecular structure with strong intermolecular forces that require a lot of energy to overcomeQuestion 10 of 16 Loading... 11. Describe the formation of a covalent bondThe transfer of electrons from one atom to anotherThe sharing of a pair of electrons between two nucleiThe sharing of a single electron between two nucleiThe electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and a sea of delocalised electronsQuestion 11 of 16 Loading... 12. Describe the chemical test for waterAdd it to anhydrous potassium permanganate which will turn from white to purple if water is presentFind the melting point. If it is 0 ⁰C then water is presentAdd it to anhydrous copper(II) sulfate which will change from white to blue if water is presentFind the boiling point.
