The Ancient Greeks believed in four elements. One of these "elements" today is known to be a homogeneous mixture. Which is it?
(A)
air
2.
Which of the following formulas represents an element?

Bo
3.
Which of the following is incorrectly named as a law or theory?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
The theory of evolution that states that man is descended from apes.
Parkinson's Law that states that work expands to fill the allotted time.
Boyle's Law that states that the volume and pressure of a gas are inversely proportional
VSEPR Law that states that shape of a molecule is due to electrons repelling each other
All of these are correctly named as a law or a theory.

expressed as a ratio of nice numbers.
The atomic masses of all of the elements in the periodic table have fixed values.
The % by mass of lead in the compound, lead sulfide, is the same for all pure samples of lead sulfide obtained from any source.

5.
Which of the following statements about Rutherford's experiment is false?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
Alpha particles were used as they are positive.
The particles were fired at a piece of aluminum foil.
Most of the particles passed through the foil, indicating that most of the atoms were empty space.
A very few particles bounced back, indicating the presence of a small, massive, positive nucleus.
One of Rutherford's assistants was Hans Geiger, who later invented the Geiger counter for detecting radioactivity.
6.
Which assumption of Dalton’s atomic theory had to be revised or discarded because of the discovery of electrons?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
The ultimate particles of matter are the atoms of elements, which are indivisible and indestructible.
All the atoms of a given element are alike in all respects.
The atoms of different elements differ in one or more properties.
Compounds are formed by combination of different kinds of atoms.
None of these
7.
Under the modern atomic theory, which of the following statements is true?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
Atoms contain the same number of protons and neutrons.
The mass of an atom in amu is approximated as the number of protons plus the number of neutrons present in the nucleus.
Atoms can be split into a nucleus and the electrons, but usually the electrons are stuck in the nucleus.
Different isotopes of an element contain different numbers of electrons.
The three primary sub-atomic particles differ only in their charge.
8.
Which statement is true?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
The elements may be broadly classified as metals, non-metals and noble gases.
Elements in a row in the periodic table have similar chemical properties.
In the periodic table that we use, the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
Rutherford's scattering experiment proved that all atoms contain electrons.
Experiments using the Cathode Ray Tube proved that all atoms contain electrons.
