1 Sodium azide, NaN3 is an explosive used to inflate airbags in cars when they crash. It consists of
positive sodium ions and negative azide ions.

What are the numbers of electrons in the sodium ion and the azide ion?

sodium ion azide ion

A 10 20
B 10 22
C 12 20
D 12 22

2 The 68Ge isotope is medically useful because it undergoes a natural radioactive process to give
an isotope of a different element, 68X, which can be used to detect tumours. This transformation
of 68Ge occurs when an electron enters the nucleus and changes a proton into a neutron.

Which statement about the composition of an atom of 68X is correct?

A It has 4 electrons in its outer p orbitals.

B It has 13 electrons in its outer shell.
C It has 37 neutrons.
D Its proton number is 32.

3 When solid aluminium chloride is heated, Al 2Cl 6 is formed.

Which bonding is present in Al 2Cl 6?

A covalent and co-ordinate (dative covalent)

B covalent only
C ionic and co-ordinate (dative covalent)
D ionic only

4 Some car paints contain small flakes of silica, SiO2.

In the structure of solid SiO2

● each silicon atom is bonded to x oxygen atoms,

● each oxygen atom is bonded to y silicon atoms,
● each bond is a z type bond.

What is the correct combination of x, y and z in these statements?

x y z

A 2 1 covalent
B 2 1 ionic
C 4 2 covalent
D 4 2 ionic

5 Copper and iodine are both shiny crystalline solids.

Which forces exist between particles in solid copper and between neighbouring iodine molecules
in solid iodine?
