5. A carbon atom can have   More than one isotope.  
🗑
6. An element who's molecules contain two atoms   Is diatomic.  
🗑
7. A monatomic compound   Cannot exist; it's a contradiction in terms.  
🗑
8. Ionization can sometimes cause   The conductivity of a substance to improve.  
🗑
9. Of the following substances, which one is the best electrical conductor   Silver  
🗑
10. Dry air is normally a poor conductor of electricity because   the molecules are far apart.  
🗑
11. If we place an EMF of 2 V across a component whose resistance equals 1 ohm, how much current will flow through the component?   2 A  
🗑
12. If we double the potential difference in the scenario of Question 11 ( If we place an EMF of 2 V resistance 1 ohm, how much current will flow) but don't change the components resistance, the current the current through the component will   double  
🗑
13. In electronics, the term hole refers to a place in an atom where   an electron would normally exist, but doesn't.  
🗑

16. A stroke of lightening, the current results from sudden, rapid movement of   electrons.  
🗑
17. We can use ohms to directly express or measure   resistance.  
🗑
17. What type of device converts chemical energy to electrical energy?   A battery  
🗑
19. What type of device converts mechanical energy to electrical energy?   A generator  
🗑
20. What type of device converts electrons directly into protons?   None of the above  
🗑
1. The number of electrons in an electrically neutral atom   Equals the number of protons.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
