O Levels Combined Chemistry G3 O Levels G3 Combined Chemistry Paper 1 mock Name 1 / 20 1. Which substances contain the same number of atoms? A B C D 2 / 20 2. Which of the following statements about isotopes is correct? sotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of electrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of neutrons but different number of electrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of neutrons but different number of protons. by definition, isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons and diff number of neutrons 3 / 20 3. The structure of brass is shown below. What is the purpose of adding zinc to copper? to make the packing of atoms more compact to strengthen the metallic bonds between copper atoms to prevent layers of copper atoms from sliding over each other easily to prevent the ‘sea of electrons’ from moving freely in the metal lattice Adding zinc atoms to copper disrupts the orderly arrangement, which prevents layers of copper atoms from sliding over each other easily. The effect is that the alloy is now harder and stronger than pure copper. 4 / 20 4. The flowchart shows some reactions of a compound T. What could compound T be? aluminium carbonate ammonium nitrate calcium nitrate zinc carbonate Ammonium salt + Strong Alkali --> ammonia gas + water + salt test for nitrate: add sodium hydroxide solution to the sample, followed by aluminum foil, and gently heat the mixture. If nitrate ions are present, they will be reduced to ammonia gas, which can be detected by its pungent smell or by its ability to turn damp red litmus paper blue. 5 / 20 5. Elements X and Y combine to form an ionic compound. Atoms of X have more protons than atoms of Y. Atoms of Y have more valence electrons than atoms of X. Which statement is correct? Ions of X are negatively charged. Atoms of X have more electron shells than atoms of Y. X and Y are in the same period of the Periodic Table. X and Y are in the same group of the Periodic Table. X and Y, one is metal, one is non-metal. since Y has more valence then X is metal and Y is non-metal and X has more electron shell since it has protons. 6 / 20 6.
