When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a
a) positive ion
b) negative ion
c) neutral ion
d) neutral atom

Magnesium bromide is an ionic compound with the chemical formula MgBr2. (the 2 should be a subscript) What does the '2' tell you?
a) There are two bromide ions for every magnesium ion
b) Bromide has a -2 charge
c) There are two magnesium ions to every bromide ion
d) Bromide has a +2 charge

In the chemical formula for an ionic compound, which item is written first?
a) The name of the positive ion
b) the name of the negative ion
c) the subscripts
d) the charges

The chemical name for the compound with the formula Na2S is (the 2 is a subscript)

What is a double bond
a) two pairs of electrons shared between two atoms
b) a bond between two atoms
c) one pair of electrons shared between two atoms
d) two pairs of electrons shared between four atoms

Electrons involved in bonding between atoms are
a) valence electrons

d) positively charged

What are two ways that a proton and a neutron are similar?
a) They are located in the nucleus and have an atomic mass of 1
b) They are located in the nucleus and have an atomic mass of 0
c) They are located in the nucleus and have a charge of +1
d) They are located in the nucleus and have a charge of zero

How is it possible for an atom to have no charge even though it is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons?
a) The number of protons and electrons are equal, therefore the charge is equal
b) The number of protons and neutrons are equal, so the charge is equal
c) The number of electrons and neutrons are equal, so the charge is zero
d) None of these answers

Why is it UNnecessary to include the electrons when determining the mass of an atom?
a) The mass of the electron is so small that it wouldn't change the mass
b) The electrons are not located in the nucleus, so they don't count
c) The mass of the electrons is so large that it can't be added
d) An electron has a negative charge
