Here are the answers to the multiple-choice questions: 23. The measure of the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons is known as Electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons (or electron density) towards itself in a covalent bond. The correct answer is A. electronegativity. 24. What is the molecular mass for CuSO_4 · 5H_2O? [Cu = 63.5, S = 32.0, O = 16.0, H = 1.0] Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of each component. Copper (Cu): 1 × 63.5 = 63.5 Sulfur (S): 1 × 32.0 = 32.0 Oxygen (O in SO_4): 4 × 16.0 = 64.0 Water (H_2O): 2 × 1.0 (H) + 1 × 16.0 (O) = 2.0 + 16.0 = 18.0 Step 2: Calculate the total molar mass for CuSO_4 · 5H_2O. The compound contains one CuSO_4 unit and five H_2O units. Molar mass = M(Cu) + M(S) + 4 × M(O) + 5 × M(H_2O) Molar mass = 63.5 + 32.0 + 64.0 + (5 × 18.0) Molar mass = 63.5 + 32.0 + 64.0 + 90.0 Molar mass = 249.5 g/mol The correct answer is A. 249.5 g. 25. All pure substances which are not elements are Pure substances are classified into two categories: elements (which cannot be broken down further by chemical means) and compounds (which are formed when two or more elements are chemically combined in fixed proportions). Mixtures are not pure substances. The correct answer is A. compounds. 26. A neutron striking an unstable nucleus may split it, causing the process known as This process, where a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei when struck by a neutron, is called nuclear fission. It releases a large amount of energy. The correct answer is A. nuclear fission. 27. The valence electrons in magnesium are in the Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12. Its electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2. The valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost principal energy level, which is the 3rd shell in this case. These are the two electrons in the 3s orbital. The correct answer is D. 3s orbital. Send me the next one 📸
