The General Chemistry Concepts Test

1. 

2. This is a fairly basic chemistry knowledge test with a couple tricky questions tossed in. The max score is 100 + Bonus for 110 and there are 10 questions total. If you've studied chemistry at the college level, it should be cake. That said, Good Luck.
4. 1

   Which of the following cannot be determined by looking at a decent periodic table?

   The atom's symbol

   The average mass of all isotopes of a particular atom

   Whether or not the atom has a stable (nonradioactive) isotope

   The atomic radius of a particular atom

5. 2

   What's deuterium?

   A hydrogen isotope with two neutrons

   An element with symbol De

   A radioactive biproduct of nuclear decay

   None of the above

6. 3

   Most people know that water is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen. What's the process of separating the hydrogens from the oxygen by means of applied voltage through an aqueous medium called? (2H2O -> 2H2 + O2)

   Electrolysis

   Hydrolysis

   Breaking down water

   Decomposition

7. 4

   Lets try some really basic organic chemistry. What is CH3-CH2-OH

   BOOZE

   Ethanol or ethyl alcohol

   Hydroxyethane

   All of the above

8. 5

   Chemical kinetics has to do with...

   How easily (quickly) a liquid form of a compound can flow

   The rates at which reactions occur

   The half lifes of radioactive elements

   None of the above

9. 6

   Which of the following molecules exhibits polar characteristics?

   Ethane

   Ethene

   Ethanol

   Isopropane

10. 7

    Which of the following is the least radioactive (most stable)?

    Uranium - 238

    Polonium - 210

    Technetium - 99

    Oxygen - 15

11. 8

    Physical chemistry is a pain in the ass for most chemistry students because...

    It involves the memorization of physical properties of all elements

    In involves the application of relatively advanced calculus

    It is a mix of chemistry and physics

    It has nothing to do with chemistry in actuallality

12. 9

    Which of the following cyclic compounds is aromatic?

    Cyclobutadiene

    Cyclohexadiene

    Cyclohexane

    Napthalene

13. 

14. 10

    BONUS: (No Points subtracted for no answer) What is the above molecule called?

    Buckminsterfullerene

    Thats just a soccer ball made with atoms (and that's wicked cool)

    That's a soccer ball made of atoms and the writer of this test is lame for putting that here...

    The crystalline structure of frozen water
