Science Midterm: First 20 Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| All matter is made up of elements. | True. 118 make up everything. |
| All atoms of an element are different. | False. Atoms of the same element can be the same. |
| A molecule is made up of one type of atom. | False. It can be made up of 2 or more same or different elements. |
| A molecule is the smallest unit of an atom. | False. An atom is the smallest unit of a molecule. |
| The space between carbon atoms are filled with air. | False. Atoms are tightly packed together. Air is made up of atoms. |
| An optical microscope is needed to see carbon atoms. | False. An electron microscope is needed. |
| Carbon atoms increase in size when the amount of carbon increases. | False. Just the # of atoms increase. |
| One of the atoms has bigger particles. One of the atoms have heavier particles. | False. Particles of an atom cannot grow or increase in weight. |
| The atoms have different kinds of particles. The atoms have different numbers of particles. | False. Electrons, protons, and neutrons. Particles are specific to element. |
| Electrons orbit the nucleus like planets around the sun. | True. Each atom has electrons that orbit the nucleus. |
| Electrons interact with neutrons in the nucleus. | False. Protons interact with neutrons. The electrons do nothing except bond. Electrons do not ever enter the nucleus. |
| Electrons surround the nucleus of an atom. | True. They are orbiting the nucleus, not touching, but orbiting. |
| Electrons join with protons to form the nucleus. | False. Neutrons and protons make up the nucleus. |
| An atom is made up of two or more molecules. | False. Molecules are made of up two or more atoms. |
| A molecule is made up of two or more identical atoms. | True and False. A molecule is made up of two or more atoms that can be the same or different. |
| Only two atoms of different kinds can be present in a molecule. | False. You can have two or more atoms of same or different kinds in a molecule. You can have hundreds of atoms in a molecule as well. |
| Two or more atoms of the same or different kinds can be present in a molecule. | True. By definition of a molecule. |
| Carbon atoms are the smallest particles of the element carbon. | True. You cannot break an element down any further. Atoms are the smallest piece of element. |
