1. What is the SI unit of energy?

• A. ohm
• B. joule
• C. henry
• D. newton

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The SI unit of energy is the 'joule'. The joule is defined as the work done when a force of one newton acts over a distance of one meter. It is the standard unit used to measure energy in the International System of Units (SI). Therefore, the correct answer is 'joule.' Choice A, 'ohm,' is the SI unit of electrical resistance, not energy. Choice C, 'henry,' is the SI unit of inductance, not energy. Choice D, 'newton,' is the SI unit of force, not energy. Hence, they are all incorrect in the context of measuring energy.

2. What is the normal body temperature in Fahrenheit?

• A. 96°F
• B. 98.6°F
• C. 100°F
• D. 95°F

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The normal body temperature for humans is 98.6°F, which is equivalent to 37°C. This temperature is considered the average baseline for most individuals when measured orally. Choice A (96°F) is too low for normal body temperature. Choice C (100°F) is too high for normal body temperature. Choice D (95°F) is also lower than the normal body temperature range. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 98.6°F.

3. What charge do Group VIA elements typically have?

• A. -1
• B. -2
• C. -3
• D. 0

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Group VIA elements, also known as Group 16 elements, typically have a charge of -2. This is because they have 6 valence electrons and tend to gain 2 electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, resulting in a -2 charge. Choice A (-1) is incorrect as Group VIA elements need to gain 2 electrons for stability, not just 1. Choice C (-3) is incorrect because Group VIA elements do not need to gain 3 electrons to achieve stability. Choice D (0) is incorrect as Group VIA elements need to gain electrons to reach a stable configuration, resulting in a negative charge.

4. Which of these elements has the greatest atomic mass?

• A. Au
• B. Ba
• C. I
• D. W

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Among the elements listed, Tungsten (W) has the greatest atomic mass. The atomic mass of Tungsten is approximately 183.84 atomic mass units (amu), while the atomic masses of the other elements listed are as follows: Gold (Au) is around 196.97 amu, Barium (Ba) is approximately 137.33 amu, and Iodine (I) is about 126.90 amu. Therefore, Tungsten (W) has the greatest atomic mass out of the given elements. Gold (Au) has a higher atomic mass than Barium (Ba) and Iodine (I), making choices A, B, and C incorrect.

5. What is the correct formula for iron III oxide?

• A. IO
• B. FeS
• C. Fe₂O₃
• D. OFe₂₃

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct formula for iron III oxide is Fe2O3. In this formula, Fe represents iron and O represents oxygen. Iron III oxide consists of two iron (Fe) ions combined with three oxygen (O) ions. Thus, the correct formula is Fe2O3. Choice A (IO) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct combination of iron and oxygen ions. Choice B (FeS) is incorrect as it represents iron sulfide, not iron III oxide. Choice D (OFe₂₃) is incorrect as it does not follow the correct chemical nomenclature for iron III oxide.
