1. What type of bond involves the complete transfer of electrons between atoms?

• A. Covalent bond
• B. Ionic bond
• C. Metallic bond
• D. Hydrogen bond

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Ionic bond - Electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another, creating cations and anions with strong electrostatic attraction.

2. Which of the following is an example of a chemical property of matter?

• A. Boiling point
• B. Flammability
• C. Density
• D. Conductivity

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Chemical properties describe how a substance reacts with other substances, such as its ability to burn (flammability) or react with acids or bases.

3. A set of integers can be classified as positive, negative, or zero. Which of the following statements about multiplying positive and negative integers is ALWAYS true?

• A. The product will always be positive.
• B. The product will always be negative.
• C. The product will depend on the specific positive and negative numbers used.
• D. Positive and negative integers cannot be multiplied

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: When multiplying a positive integer by a negative integer, the product will always be negative. This is a fundamental rule of arithmetic. The sign of the product is determined by the rule that states that a positive number multiplied by a negative number results in a negative number. Therefore, the statement that the product will always be negative is always true when multiplying positive and negative integers.

4. Which condition involves an overactive immune system attacking healthy tissues, leading to inflammation and damage?

• A. Immunodeficiency
• B. Autoimmune disease
• C. Allergy
• D. Cancer

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues in the body, leading to inflammation and damage. Immunodeficiency (option A) is the opposite, where the immune system is weakened or not functioning properly. Allergies (option C) involve the immune system overreacting to harmless substances. Cancer (option D) is characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, not by the immune system attacking healthy tissues.

5. What is the measure of the total amount of space occupied by an object?

• A. Mass
• B. Density
• C. Weight
• D. Volume

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Volume is the measure of the total amount of space occupied by an object and is typically measured in cubic units such as cubic meters or liters.

6. The formula for body mass index (BMI) is BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2. If a patient's BMI is 25 and their height is 1.7m, what is their weight?

• A. 34kg
• B. 45kg
• C. 56kg
• D. 68kg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 56kg: Rearrange the formula to solve for weight: weight = BMI * height^2.
