Please have your planner open to your periodic table, or open open ptable.com in a second tab. You will need to use the periodic table to answer some questions.

Before every question there is an audio file reading you the question.

Liquid Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, diatomic element used in many fun experiments. When exposed to room temperature, liquid nitrogen immediately begins to boil into nitrogen gas. Your classmate says that this is a chemical change because a gas was produced which wasn’t present before. Is your classmate correct, or incorrect? Explain.

Which of the following statements about the properties of elements related to an atomic emission spectrum are true? Select all that apply.

An atomic emission spectrum occurs when excited electrons release energy in the form of photons of light.

An unique atomic emission spectrum can be measured for each element on the periodic table

An element can release light of any possible wavelength (color) when excited electrons emit energy.

An atomic emission spectrum is unique due to the number of neutrons in the nucleus.

A chemistry graduate student is very skilled at analyzing atomic emission spectra. The printout of her spectrum is printed in black and white. Therefore she has to rely on comparing the widths and positions of spectral lines during analysis. Observe the various atomic emission spectra shown in the figure below. Which of the elements shown makes up the unknown spectrum (highlighted in the red box)? Click on the picture to zoom in on it.

The elements are listed on the periodic table in order of atomic number, starting with hydrogen, followed by helium, lithium, etc. Which of the following statements best describes the pattern of increasing atomic number?

The number of electrons decreases by 1

The number of protons decreases by 1

The number of neutrons increase by 1

The number of protons increases by 1

During a classroom experiment, a burning magnesium ribbon (Mg) was dropped into a glass test tube filled with oxygen (O2). A bright white flame was produced. A white powdery substance formed at the end of the reaction. The white substance was identified as the compound magnesium oxide (MgO).
Which of the following statements best describes the change that occured?

A physical change occurred because solid magnesium was mixed with oxygen gas.

A chemical change occurred because oxygen gas froze into solid oxygen.

A physical change occurred because heat was transferred from the magnesium ribbon to the oxygen gas

A chemical change occurred because the elements formed into a compound, therefore changing the molecular structure.
