COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS |
GRADED AND THE LATEST SERIES
Chemical Bonds
Ans: Forces that hold atoms together in a molecule
Question: Covalent Bond
Ans: Chemical bond in which electrons are shared
Question: Ionic Bond
Ans: Chemical bond between ions, one or more electrons have been transferred
Question: Hydrogen Bond
Ans: Chemical bond in which a hydrogen is shared between two electronegative
atoms (usually O and/or N)
Question: Solute
Ans: A molecule dissolved in a liquid
Question: Solvent
Ans: The liquid in which the molecule is dissolved
Question: Theory
, 2025-2026 SERIES
Ans: An explanation using an integrated set of principles that organizes
observations and predicts behaviors or events.
Question: Fact
Ans: A piece of information provided objectively, presented as true.
Question: Hypothesis
Ans: A proposed, scientifically testable explanation for an observed phenomenon.
Question: Theory of Evolution
Ans: The best scientific explanation for both the unity and diversity of life;
proposed by Charles Darwin
Question: Phylogenetics
Ans: The analysis of evolutionary, or ancestral, relationships between taxa
Question: Natural Selection
Ans: A process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to
survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of those traits.
Question: Positive Control
Ans: Group expected to have a positive result, allowing the researcher to show
that the experimental set up was capable of producing results.
Question: Potential Energy
, 2025-2026 SERIES
Ans: Energy stored due to an object's position or arrangement
Question: Valence Electrons
Ans: The electrons in the outermost shell (main energy level) of an atom; these
are the electrons involved in forming bonds.
Question: Octet Rule
Ans: States that atoms lose, gain or share electrons in order to acquire a full set
of eight valence electrons
Question: Molecule
Ans: A group of atoms bonded together
Question: Polar
Ans: Molecule with partial charges. Mixes with water.
Question: Non Polar
Ans: Equal sharing of electrons. No partial charges.
Question: Specific Heat
Ans: The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a
substance by 1 degree celcius
Question: Hydrophobic
