1. What is the primary factor that determines whether a solute will dissolve in a solvent?

• A. Temperature
• B. Pressure
• C. Molecular structure
• D. Particle size

Correct answer: c

Rationale: The molecular structure of the solute and solvent plays a key role in determining solubility. The other choices may influence solubility but are not the primary determining factor.

2. The number of protons in an atom is determined by its:

• A. Atomic mass
• B. Electron configuration
• C. Chemical properties
• D. Atomic number

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Atomic number is a fundamental property of an element and is independent of its mass, electron configuration, or chemical behavior.

3. Which blood type is a universal donor?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. AB
• D. O

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: Blood type O is considered the universal donor because individuals with type O blood can donate red blood cells to individuals with any ABO blood type (A, B, AB, or O) without causing an adverse reaction. This is because type O blood lacks A or B antigens on the surface of red blood cells, which helps minimize the risk of an immune response when transfused into individuals with different blood types. Therefore, type O blood is in high demand for blood transfusions in emergency situations when the recipient's blood type is unknown or when there is a shortage of specific blood types.

4. Which sentence uses the pronoun "they" correctly?

• A. Her friends told her they liked her new haircut.
• B. Sarah and I, they went to the movies.
• C. They gave the awards to whomever deserved them.
• D. The birds, they were singing in the trees.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Option A agrees with the closest noun, "friends."

5. Which property of a substance describes its ability to conduct heat or electricity?

• A. Reactivity
• B. Conductivity
• C. Density
• D. Viscosity

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Conductivity refers to a substance's ability to conduct heat or electricity

6. What are energy levels and orbitals?

• A. Energy levels are the paths that electrons travel around the nucleus of an atom, and orbitals are the regions where electrons are most likely to be found.
• B. Energy levels are the regions where electrons are most likely to be found, and orbitals are the paths that electrons travel around the nucleus of an atom.
• C. Energy levels are the same as orbitals.
• D. Energy levels and orbitals do not exist.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Energy levels refer to the specific energies that electrons in an atom can have, while orbitals are the regions within an atom where electrons are most likely to be found. Electrons do not travel in fixed paths around the nucleus like planets around the sun, as suggested in option B. Option C is incorrect because energy levels and orbitals are distinct concepts in atomic structure. Option D is incorrect as energy levels and orbitals are fundamental concepts in understanding the behavior of electrons in atoms.
