5

Chemical A and Chemical B react in an exothermic reaction. What can be known about what will happen when Chemical A and Chemical B are mixed together?

A
The old substance will need more energy to break its chemical bonds than the new substance will release.
B
More energy will be released from the old substance than the new substance will release to form its chemical bonds.
C
The color will change as a result of the reaction.
D
The substance will bubble as a result of the reaction.
6

What best explains whether bromine (Br) or neon (Ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond?

Question illustration
A
Bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule.
B
Bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons.
C
Neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron.
D
Neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.
7

B
The total mass of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide will result in a lower total mass of sodium chloride and water.
C
The mass of hydrochloric acid will result in the same mass of sodium chloride.
D
The total mass of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide will result in the same total mass of sodium chloride and water.

Shameeka is studying for an exam. She took the notes below about calcium and chlorine, which are known to form ionic bonds.Calcium, which is a metal, donates 2 electrons to chlorine.The individual calcium atoms become ions with a negative 2 charge. The bond between calcium and chlorine makes the atoms stable. Calcium and chlorine attract each other. Which best describes Shameeka’s error?

A
Calcium is a metal, so it donates protons, not electrons.
B
The individual calcium atom has a positive, not negative, 2 charge.
C
The bond formed makes the atoms unstable, not stable.
D
Calcium and chlorine repel, not attract, each other.
