of an unknown metal or metalloid ion based on the color emission. What color is emitted
if NaCl is heated?
A. Green
B. Orange
C. Red
D. Yellow Orange
2. The number of valence electron can be shown through the Lewis Symbol. This symbol is
composed of the chemical symbol of the element and dots that represent the number of
valence electrons of an atom that can easily be determined through the family/group
number in the periodic table of elements. How many dots represents the element Sodium?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
3. Ionic compounds give off positive (cation) and negative (anion) ions in solution that is why
it can conduct electricity. Which compound conducts electricity when dissolved in water?
A. Latex
B. Naphthalene
C. Salt
D. Sugar
4. Ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic
forces termed ionic bonding. Which of the following is not an ionic compound?
A. H2O (Water)
B. LiCl (Lithium Chloride)
C. LiF (lithium Fluoride)
D. NaCl (Sodium Chloride)
5. Covalent compounds have a low melting point. Nonpolar covalent compounds are
insoluble in water, and poor conductors of heat and electricity. Following are covalent
compounds except:
A. Ammonia
B. Hydrogen Chloride
C. NaCl
D. Water
Questions 6
A Carbon atom has four (4) valence electrons. This kind of atomic structure makes the carbon atom able
to form four covalent bonds with atoms of other elements and other carbon atoms to make it stable
following the Octet Rule. Carbon atoms can also make many types of arrangement: single bond, double
bond and triple bond. This chemical bonds between carbon atoms and other elements can form different
kinds of compounds with short and long straight and branched structures as the following compounds.
