2 To the Student Soon you will be taking assessments of academic readiness for science. This Better Test Scores book will give you the practice and confidence you need to do well on this important test. Here are the steps to follow to use this book. 1. Take Tryout Test 1 and check your answers. Use the chart at the bottom of this page to find out your strengths and weaknesses in the science areas assessed. Don t be discouraged if you don t get all of the answers right or if you don t understand some questions. Remember the hard questions. They will be the types of questions you need to work on the most. 2. Work through the lessons that follow Tryout Test 1. These lessons will help you with the kinds of questions you will be asked on the assessments of academic readiness for science. Each lesson ends with a short practice test to reinforce your new skills. Fill in the Keeping Score chart on page 85 as you complete each practice test. 3. After completing all 7 lessons, take Tryout Test 2. Your score on this test will show how much your test-taking skills have improved. By following the steps outlined above, you will learn many of the skills you need to do well on the assessments of academic readiness in science.

Table of Contents 5
6 Lesson Matter and Energy I The assessments for science will ask you to... describe the structure of atoms; identify that protons determine an element s identity and valence electrons determine its chemical properties, including reactivity; interpret the arrangement of the Periodic Table to explain how properties are used to classify elements; differentiate between elements and compounds on the most basic level; compare metals, nonmetals, and metalloids using physical properties such as luster, conductivity, or malleability; and calculate density to identify an unknown substance. Directions: Read each question and choose the best answer. Then mark the letter for the answer you have chosen. 1 On the periodic table below, the highlighted set of elements is called a A family. B period. C formula. D complex compound. Lesson Lesson Lesson 20 Matter and Energy I Perfection Learning No reproduction permitted.
7 Example 1 asks you to identify a grouping of elements on the periodic table. Elements are grouped horizontally into periods according to their atomic number. But the illustration highlights a column, so choice B is incorrect. Elements in the periodic table are grouped vertically as families or groups according to the physical or chemical properties that they share. Choice A is the correct answer. Choices C and D list other ways that elements can be described or interact that are not directly related to the periodic table. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the periodic table. Most of the elements in the table are metals. They are called transitional elements. Elements in the top right corner of the table (including carbon, phosphorus, selenium, iodine, astatine, radon, and the elements to the right and above them, plus hydrogen) are all nonmetals. The elements between the metals and nonmetals (boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium) are metalloids. Metalloids share properties with both metals and nonmetals. As elements go from left to right along the table, they increase in atomic mass. The horizontal rows are called periods. Elements that share similar properties are placed in the same vertical column, or group. Perfection Learning No reproduction permitted. Matter and Energy I 21
8 2 The illustration below shows a model of a carbon atom. What particles are represented by the cloud that surrounds the central mass? F atoms G electrons H neutrons J protons 3 The carbon atom shown in question 2 has six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons. What is its atomic number? A 6 B 12 C 18 D 36 4 Chromium is a(n) F compound. G element. H formula. J reaction. Example 2 asks you to examine a model of an atom and tell which atomic particles are represented by the cloud that surrounds the center, or nucleus. Choice H, neutrons, and choice J, protons, are both incorrect because neutrons and protons are both located within the nucleus. Choice F is incorrect because the entire model is of an atom. Choice G, electrons, is the correct answer. Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom. 22 Matter and Energy I Perfection Learning No reproduction permitted.
9 A typical atom is shown below. The electrons orbit the nucleus and have a negative charge. The protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, and neutrons have no charge. Hint Don t confuse atomic number with atomic mass. Atomic number 5 number of protons in an atom Atomic mass 5 number of protons 1 number of neutrons in an atom In Example 3, you are asked to identify the atomic number of the atom shown. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the atom. The correct answer is 6, choice A. In Example 4, you are given the name of a substance and asked to determine if it is a compound, an element, a formula, or a reaction. Chromium is a simple element; choice G is correct. Choice F, compound, is a chemical combination of two or more elements. Formula, choice H, is the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound. Choice J, reaction, is the process that occurs when two or more substances interact, undergoing a chemical change. Remember... To help remember the difference between elements and compounds, relate compound words to chemical compounds. Just as a compound word is made up of more than one part, a chemical compound is made up of more than one element. Test-Taking Tips 1 Be familiar with the periodic table. Practice finding elements and determining the characteristics each element has according to its position on the table. Know where the metals, nonmetals, and metalloids are, as well as the characteristics that the elements in key groups share. 2 Review the parts of the atom and their charges. Be familiar with how the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons change the atomic mass and charge of an atom. Go for it! Perfection Learning No reproduction permitted. Matter and Energy I 23

A magnesium B carbon C chromium D bromine 2 Based on the periodic table shown above, which of the following elements has the largest number of electrons in each atom?

B number of neutrons. C number of protons. D charge of the atoms. 8 In a lithium atom (atomic number 3), where are electrons most likely to be located? F one electron near the nucleus and two electrons farther out G two electrons near the nucleus and one electron farther out H three electrons equidistant from the nucleus J eight electrons, all at different distances from the nucleus Perfection Learning No reproduction permitted. 25
