information can be used to determine the number of valence electrons in
the atom.
A. Periodic table of elements
B. Periodic table of atoms
C. Periodic table of electrons
D. Valence electrons table
2. The interatomic linkage that results from the sharing of an electron pair
between two atoms is called?
A. Ionic bond
B. Metallic bond
C. Covalent bond
D. Chemical bond
3. What are valence electrons?
A. Electrons that are in the nucleus.
B. They do not exist.
C. Total electrons on an atom.
D. Electrons on the outermost shell of an element.
4. She/he was the one to propose the tabular display of the chemical
elements.
A. John Watson
B. Galileo Galilei
C. Dmitri Mendeleev
D. Antoine Lavoisier
5. Valence electrons are:
A. Electrons closest to the nucleus
B. Electrons that just come and go - they don't stay with the atom
C. Electrons in the second shell
D. Electrons farthest away from the nucleus
6. Covalent bond occurs to what type of elements?
A. between metal and nonmetal
B. between metal to metal
C. between nonmetal to nonmetal
D. between ions to metals
7. When atoms combine to form compounds, they tend to gain, lose or
share electrons to achieve eight electrons in the valence shell to make it
stable. This is called?
A. Right Thumb rule
B. Valence Electrons
C. Covalent Bonding
D. Octet Rule
8. A covalent bond is
A. a bond that shares electrons metallically
B. A bond that shares electrons with non-metals
C. Metalloids bonding
D. metals and nonmetals bonding
UNDERSTANDING
9. How do electrons of an element determine that element's reactivity?
A. If the valence shell has a full shell of electrons it is very reactive
because it is already full.
B. If the valence shell has missing electrons it is very reactive to
attract or lose more electrons.
C. If the valence shell has a full ring of electrons it is very reactive
because it needs more.
D. If the valence shell has missing electrons it is not reactive because it is
missing electrons.
10. Troy was asked by his bestfriend, Jielo to help him in illustrating the
Lewis dot structure of ammonia (NH3). The illustration of Troy is shown in
the picture. Was Troy correct?
A. Yes, because the hydrogen is now stable as well as the nitrogen
has 8 electrons.
B. NO, because nitrogen has only 5 electrons and it is not yet stable
according to the octet rule
C. Yes, because nitrogen and hydrogen are both an exception
of the octet rule.
D. No, because there must be double bonds between each atom to
make the molecules stable
11. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) has two (2) bonding domains and one (1) non-
bonding domains or lone pair. Given this information, what might be the
possible geometrical shape of NO2?
A. Linear
B. Bent
C. Trigonal Planar
D. Tetrahedral
12. Valence-Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) model used to ______.
a. predict the two-dimensional shape of the molecules from the electron
pairs that surround the central atoms of the molecule
b. predict the three-dimensional shape of the molecules from the
electron pairs that surround the central atoms of the molecule
c. predict the four-dimensional shape of the molecules from the electron
pairs that surround the nearby atoms of the molecule
d. predict the five-dimensional shape of the molecules from the electron
pairs that surround the central atoms of the molecule
13. The following statements refers to the exception of octet rule except
A. Atoms possessing less than eight electrons such as
hydrogen, Oxygen, and Argon follow reduced electron
requirements.
B. Most compounds involving nitrogen (and other Group V
elements) can possess only seven electrons.
C. Atoms possessing more than eight electrons exhibit hyper
valence where the elements go even higher than ten.
D. Hydrogen and helium follow the duet rule.

Based on the diagram, what could possibly be Neil's answer?
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6
16. Which is a correct Lewis structure for carbon dioxide, CO 2?
A. I
B. II
C. III
D. IV
ANALYZING
17. Why are valence electrons important?
A. There is nothing important.
B. They help determine the reactivity of an element.
C. They are a physical property.
D. They are fun.
18. Which of the following is a reason that Lewis’s electron dot diagrams
only show electrons in the outmost orbital of an atom?
A. outer-shell electrons have less energy than inner-shell
electrons.
B. Lewis’s electron-dot diagrams would get too complicated if
each atom showed all its electrons.
C. inner-shell electrons cannot be proven to exist and thus
should not be included in a Lewis electron-dot structure.
D. Only outer shell electrons can be involved in chemical
bonds.
