1. The three basic components of an atom are:(a) protons, neutrons, and ions(b) protons, neutrons, and electrons(c) protons, neutrinos, and ions(d) protium, deuterium, and tritiumAnswer: b
2. The identity of an element is determined by the number of:(a) atoms(b) electrons(c) neutrons(d) protonsAnswer: d
3. The nucleus of an atom consists of:(a) electrons(b) neutrons(c) protons and neutrons(d) protons, neutrons, and electronsAnswer: c
4. A single proton has what electrical charge?(a) no charge(b) positive charge(c) negative charge(d) either a positive or negative chargeAnswer: b
5. Which particles have approximately the same size and mass as each other?(a) neutrons and electrons(b) electrons and protons(c) protons and neutrons(d) none - they are all very different in size and massAnswer: c
6. Which two particles would be attracted to each other?(a) electrons and neutrons(b) electrons and protons(c) protons and neutrons(d) all particles are attracted to each otherAnswer: b
7. The atomic number of an atom is:(a) the number of electrons(b) the number of neutrons(c) the number of protons(d) the number of protons plus the number of neutronsAnswer: c
8. Changing the number of neutrons of an atom changes its:(a) isotope(b) element(c) ion(d) chargeAnswer: a
9. When you change the number of electrons on an atom, you produce a different:(a) isotope(b) ion(c) element(d) atomic massAnswer: b
10. According to atomic theory, electrons are usually found:(a) in the atomic nucleus(b) outside the nucleus, yet very near it because they are attracted to the protons(c) outside the nucleus and often far from it - most of an atom's volume is its electron cloud(d) either in the nucleus or around it - electrons are readily found anywhere in an atomAnswer: c
