Sample Questions

8 sample questions. Expand to see answers and explanations.

1. What is the electron configuration of oxygen (atomic number 8)?

Remember

Show Answer →

Answer

1s² 2s² 2p⁴

Explanation

Oxygen has 8 electrons: 2 in the first shell (1s²), 2 in the 2s orbital (2s²), and 4 in the 2p orbitals (2p⁴).

Type: multiple choice

2. Which type of bond forms when electrons are shared between atoms?

Remember

Show Answer →

Answer

Covalent bond

Explanation

Covalent bonds form when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons, typically between nonmetals.

Type: multiple choice

3. If 2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mole of oxygen, how many moles of water form?

Apply

Show Answer →

Answer

2 moles

Explanation

The balanced equation 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O shows that 2 moles of water are produced from 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen.

Type: multiple choice

4. True or False: Catalysts are consumed in chemical reactions.

Understand

Show Answer →

Answer

False

Explanation

False. Catalysts speed up reactions by lowering activation energy but are NOT consumed. They can be reused.

Type: true false

5. What is the pH of a neutral solution at 25°C?

Remember

Show Answer →

Answer

7

Explanation

At 25°C, pure water has pH 7 (neutral). pH < 7 is acidic, pH > 7 is basic. pH = -log[H⁺].

Type: multiple choice

6. Which gas law relates pressure and volume at constant temperature?

Remember

Show Answer →

Answer

Boyle's Law (P₁V₁ = P₂V₂)

Explanation

Boyle's Law states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional when temperature is held constant. Doubling pressure halves volume.

Type: multiple choice

7. Fill in the blank: An atom that loses electrons becomes a _____ ion.

Understand

Show Answer →

Answer

Positive (cation)

Explanation

Losing electrons (negative charges) makes the atom positively charged. Metals typically form cations.

Type: fill in blank

8. What is the molar mass of H₂O (water)?

Apply

Show Answer →

Answer

18 g/mol

Explanation

H₂O has 2 hydrogen atoms (2 × 1 g/mol = 2) + 1 oxygen atom (16 g/mol) = 18 g/mol total.

Type: multiple choice

How to Study Chemistry

Workflow

  1. 1

    Take a chemistry quiz to identify which topics need more study

  2. 2

    Review chemical equations and problem-solving methods for missed questions

  3. 3

    Practice similar problems from your textbook to reinforce understanding

Tips

  • •Memorize common polyatomic ions and chemical formulas—they appear constantly in problems
  • •Always check units in calculations and balance chemical equations before solving stoichiometry
  • •Understand the WHY behind trends (like electronegativity) rather than just memorizing patterns
