What is the pH of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 1 x 10^-4 M?
Answer: 4
pH equals the negative log of [H+], so -log(1x10^-4) = 4.
Which type of bond forms when electrons are transferred from a metal to a nonmetal?
Answer: Ionic
Ionic bonds form when electrons transfer from a metal to a nonmetal, creating charged ions.
What is the atomic number of an element determined by?
Answer: Number of protons
The atomic number equals the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
A solution with a pH of 9 is best described as:
Answer: Basic
A pH above 7 indicates a basic (alkaline) solution.
Which subatomic particle has a negative charge?
Answer: Electron
Electrons carry a negative charge and orbit the nucleus.
What is the name of the process by which a solid changes directly into a gas?
Answer: Sublimation
Sublimation is the direct transition of a solid to a gas without becoming liquid.
In the formula H2O, the subscript 2 indicates:
Answer: Two hydrogen atoms
