B. an alpha-particle D. Hydrogen nucleus
7.

8. Atoms of one element are converted to atoms of another element through

10. In the symbol,6 c , x is ________________.
A. the number of neutrons C. the mass number
B. the atomic number D. the isotope number
11. According to the electronegativity difference of a molecule, if the molecule has an
electronegativity difference of 0 to 0.4 the molecule is said to be ____________.
A. nonpolar B. polar C. ionic D. metallic
