Which of these best describes the characteristics of the material formed?

What type of bond would exist between the nitrogen and the element from column 7A?

How many valence electrons would element 120 have?

Nitrogen, an element at the top of column 5A will react with any element from column 7A on the periodic table to form a molecular material. The next five questions ask you to make some predictions about the characteristics and behavior of the reactants and products of this reaction.

Scientists are trying to fabricate heavy elements through fusion. One element that they have not yet been able to make would have an atomic number of 120 and would be positioned in column 2A on the periodic table directly below Ra. Based on observed patterns, scientists have already predicted how this element might behave. In the next three questions, you are asked to use your understanding of chemistry to make some predictions of your own.

Many elements in column 7A exist as diatomic molecules. If you try to dissolve a diatomic molecule in water, what would you expect to happen and why?

Arrange your pages in order: Q1, Q2, … Q6 If you required more than one page for any problem, make a note at the bottom of the problem’s first page, “continued on last page”, and place the continuation work after Page 6. Scan your pages to Gradescope (ideally using the Gradescope app). Link to the Gradescope page (gradescope.com) for your convenience. Review your scans: Are they readable? Are they in order? Are they correctly oriented (portrait, not landscape)? Submit work to Gradescope. Submit this quiz in D2L. This should close Honorlock. Remove the Honorlock extension.

In meiosis, allele separation during _____ is the chromosomal basis of segregation.

Flower color in snapdragons is due to a gene with incomplete dominance: CRCR plants have red flowers, CRCW have pink flowers, and CWCW plants have white flowers. Which cross is expected to yield progeny that all have pink flowers?

A human skin cell in G1 of interphase has ___ copies of every gene. In G2, that same cell has ___ copies of every gene.
