answer
Electrons determine the atom's size.
question
Dr. Jones says an atom has 3 electrons in the first shell and four electrons in the second shell. Someone should tell Dr. Jones that ... the first shell must fill before the second shell can have electrons. no shell can hold more than 2 electrons. the first shell shouldn't have 3 electrons. the second shell should have 8 electrons. the second shell can't have 4 electrons.
answer
the first shell shouldn't have 3 electrons.
question
Which statement is true of the energy levels of electrons in shells? Electrons must lose energy to move from the first to the second shell. All the electrons in an atom have similar amounts of energy. The valence shell has higher energy than other occupied shells. All of the above. None of the above.
answer
The valence shell has higher energy than other occupied shells.
question
Which statement is true of the atom shown in the diagram? An electron will move from the outer to the inner shell. The atom is in the excited state. The atom has more than one valence electron. All of the above. None of the above.
answer
All of the above. The atom has a vacancy in its inner shell; an electron has moved to the outer (valence) shell. The result is an unstable excited state. An electron will move back to the inner shell, restoring the ground state as the atom gives off energy.
question
Two atoms always represent the same element if they have ... the same number of electrons. the same number of protons. the same number of particles in the nucleus. the same number of shells. the same mass number.
answer
the same number of protons. The number of protons defines a chemical element. The number of neutrons and electrons can differ among atoms of the same element.

an atom has too many neutrons. The atomic nucleus becomes unstable if the ratio of protons to neutrons is too far from unity.
question
Which model most accurately represents the current view of the structure of the atom? 
 Probability model
 Planetary model
Which model most accurately represents the current view of the structure of the atom? Probability model Planetary model
answer
Probability model We cannot determine the exact motion of electrons. We can only compute the regions where electrons occur most of the time. To emphasize the uncertainty, a diagram showing random motion is more suitable than planetary paths.
question
Which statement is most useful in explaining why chemists assign atoms to chemical elements by counting protons? Protons at the atom's surface determine the atom's behavior. 99% of the atom's mass consists of protons. The proton's negative charge holds electrons in the atom. The nucleus doesn't change in stable isotopes. None of these. Elements are defined by the number of protons.
answer
None of these. Elements are defined by the number of protons. Protons give an enduring basis for atomic behavior because they are permanently anchored in the nucleus, where their attraction determines how many electrons the atom can hold. By contrast, electrons come and go, and the numbers vary.

question
Given what you know about the human body, what do you think accounts for the high percentage of oxygen (65.0%)? The human body breathes in oxygen constantly, and because oxygen is a heavy element, it makes up a large percentage of body mass. The human body is made up mainly of water, and there is one oxygen atom in every water molecule. The human body is made up mainly of water, and there are two oxygen atoms in every water molecule. The human body breathes in oxygen constantly, and oxygen in the blood and tissues makes up a large percentage of body mass.
answer
The human body is made up mainly of water, and there is one oxygen atom in every water molecule. The human body is mostly made up of water (H2O), and there is one oxygen atom in each molecule of water. Note that, although each water molecule also contains two hydrogen atoms, the atomic mass of hydrogen (about 1) is much smaller than the atomic mass of oxygen (about 16). Because of this, hydrogen contributes less to human body mass than oxygen.
question
A carbon atom and a hydrogen atom form what type of bond in a molecule? nonpolar covalent bond hydrogen bond Van der Waals interaction polar covalent bond ionic bond
answer
nonpolar covalent bond Atoms with similar electronegativities form nonpolar covalent bonds.
question
Hydrogen bonding is most often seen _____. when multiple carbon atoms are present in molecules whose three-dimensional shape is tetrahedral when the bonds within the molecule are nonpolar covalent bonds when hydrogen is covalently bonded to an electronegative atom if the molecule consists of three or fewer atoms
answer
when hydrogen is covalently bonded to an electronegative atom Highly electronegative atoms attract shared electrons more strongly than hydrogen does, resulting in a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atom. The slightly positive hydrogen atom is then attracted to another electronegative atom, forming a hydrogen bond.

question
An ionic bond is formed when _____. both atoms are electrically neutral atoms are subjected to radioactive isotopes both atoms are nonpolar one atom transfers an electron to another atom both atoms are equally attractive to electrons
answer
one atom transfers an electron to another atom Transfer of an electron from one atom to another results in a positive ion (cation) and a negative ion (anion), which usually attract each other to form an ionic bond. However, the ions need not have acquired their electrical charge due to an electron transfer with each other.
