Chemistry Revision Questions C1a Topic 5

Which of the following is correct?A) Protons have a negative charge.B) Electrons have a mass of 1.C) Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom.D) Neutrons have a negative charge.

C) Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom.Electrons have a mass of 1/2000. Protons have a positive charge. Neutrons have no charge.

Which of these describes the relation between the number of protons, neutrons and electrons?A) Number of protons = number of neutrons and has no effect on the number of electronsB) Number of protons = number of electrons and has no effect on the number of neutrons.C) Number of protons = number of electrons = number of neutronsD) Number of neutrons = number of protons + number of electrons

B) Number of protons = number of electrons and has no effect on the number of neutrons.This means that all atoms have no charge.

An atom has an atomic number of 11 and an atomic mass of 23. How many neutrons does this atom have?A) 6B) 5C) 12D) 11

C) 12The atomic number is the amount of protons and the atomic mass is the number of protons + the number of neutrons.

C) SodiumOxygen has an atomic number of 8, magnesium has an atomic number of 12 and helium has an atomic number of 2.

Balance this equation: H2SO4 + NaOH --> Na2SO4 + H2OA) 2H2SO4 + 2NaOH --> 3Na2SO4 + 2H2OB) HSO + NaOH --> NaSO + HOC) H2SO4 + 2NaOH --> Na2SO4 + 2H2OD) H2SO4 + NaOH --> Na2SO4 + H2O

C) H2SO4 + 2NaOH --> Na2SO4 + 2H2OIt is the only one where the number of atoms on each side is the same, and no atoms have been taken away.
