Question 1
Naturally occurring chlorine consists of two stable isotopes: ³⁵Cl and ³⁷Cl. Which statement correctly compares an atom of ³⁵Cl with an atom of ³⁷Cl?
Correct Answer:
Both isotopes have 17 protons and 17 electrons, but ³⁷Cl has 20 neutrons while ³⁵Cl has 18 neutrons.
Question 2
What is the ground-state valence electron configuration and the number of unpaired electrons in an isolated phosphorus atom (Z = 15)?
Correct Answer:
3s² 3p³ with 3 unpaired electrons
Question 3
Which of the following represents the anomalous ground-state electron configuration of a neutral copper atom (₂₉Cu)?
Correct Answer:
[Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s¹
Question 4
How does atomic radius change across Period 3 of the Periodic Table from sodium (Na) to chlorine (Cl), and what is the primary reason?
Correct Answer:
It decreases because the effective nuclear charge increases while the number of electron shells remains constant.
Question 5
Why is the first ionization energy of nitrogen (N, Z = 7) higher than that of oxygen (O, Z = 8), despite oxygen having a higher nuclear charge?
Correct Answer:
Nitrogen has a stable half-filled 2p³ subshell, whereas oxygen has paired electrons in a 2p orbital that experience inter-electronic repulsion.
