Q.1
Why are ionic compounds formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal?
  • One or more electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal
  • One or more electrons are transferred from the non-metal to the metal
  • All of the electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal
  • They share a pair of electrons
Q.2
What would you see if you added potassium to water?
  • An explosion
  • The metal fizzes and burns with a purple flame.
  • The metal fizzes, forms a molten ball and moves around the surface of the water
  • The metal fizzes and moves around but doesn't melt
Q.3
Which of the following would be produced when lithium carbonate reacts with nitric acid?
  • Hydrogen
  • Water
  • Lithium nitrate
  • Carbon dioxide
Q.4
If you drop a piece of cleaned magnesium ribbon into a solution of silver nitrate, the magnesium becomes coated with a grey substance. What is the explanation for this?
  • Magnesium is more reactive than silver and displaces the silver
  • Magnesium is less reactive than silver and displaces the silver
  • The magnesium reacts with the nitrate and is coated in magnesium nitrate
  • Silver in silver nitrate is actually more reactive than magnesuim ribbon so the magnesium corrodes
Q.5
Which of the following metals is displaced from its ore by using carbon?
  • Iron
  • Sodium
  • Gold
  • Magnesium
Q.6
What would be the salt produced in the reaction of iron and hydrochloric acid?
  • Iron hydrochloride
  • Iron chloride
  • Chloro iron
  • Iron chlorate
Q.7
One way of producing copper would be to add which of the following metals to copper sulfate solution?
  • Platinum
  • Gold
  • Carbon
  • Iron
Q.8
What would you see if you added lithium to water?
  • An explosion
  • The metal fizzes and burns with a purple flame
  • The metal fizzes, forms a molten ball and moves around the surface of the water
  • The metal fizzes and moves around but doesn't melt
Q.9
Which of the following combinations of chemicals is likely to be the most exothermic (gives out the most energy) when mixed together?
  • Iron and aluminium oxide
  • Magnesium and aluminium oxide
  • Zinc and copper sulfate solution
  • Magnesium and silver nitrate solution
Q.10
Which of the following reactions does not produce hydrogen gas?
  • Silver and citric acid
