Correct Answer: C. Across a period, effective nuclear charge generally increases and atomic radius tends to decrease
Explanation:
Across a period, increasing nuclear charge with similar shielding pulls valence electrons closer.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. A covalent bond forms through sharing electron density between atoms
Explanation:
Covalent bonding arises from shared electron density, commonly between nonmetal atoms.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. Oxidation is an increase in oxidation number and reduction is a decrease
Explanation:
Oxidation corresponds to electron loss/increased oxidation number; reduction is the opposite.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. A catalyst lowers activation energy for both forward and reverse reactions
Explanation:
It provides a lower-energy pathway in both directions, speeding equilibrium without changing K.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. C4H10
Explanation:
The requested molecular formula contains exactly 4 carbon and 10 hydrogen atoms.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. The limiting reagent is consumed first and determines the maximum product amount
Explanation:
The limiting reagent runs out first under the balanced stoichiometric ratio and caps theoretical yield.

Correct Answer: C. The limiting reagent is consumed first and determines the maximum product amount
Explanation:
The limiting reagent runs out first under the balanced stoichiometric ratio and caps theoretical yield.
Correct Answer: 54
Explanation:
Use mass = amount × molar mass. Therefore mass = 3 × 18 = 54 g.
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
M=n/V=4/4=1.000 mol/L.
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
pH=−log₁₀[H⁺]=−log₁₀(1e-03)=3.0.

Correct Answer: A. Increasing pressure shifts a gaseous equilibrium toward the side with fewer gas moles
Explanation:
A pressure increase favours the side occupying less gaseous volume; a catalyst changes rate, not equilibrium position.

Correct Answer: C. Across a period, effective nuclear charge generally increases and atomic radius tends to decrease
Explanation:
Across a period, increasing nuclear charge with similar shielding pulls valence electrons closer.
