    This document is an end-of-unit test for a lower secondary science course. It contains 4 multiple choice and short answer questions testing knowledge of elements in Group 1 of the periodic table, properties of ions and ionic compounds, and how to experimentally test if a substance is ionic or covalent. Students are asked to identify the least reactive element, largest mass number, define an ion, explain why an ionic compound is more stable than atoms, identify correct statements about ions and bonding, and explain how to test if a substance is ionic or covalent.

    End-of-unit test
    Unit 2
    1 The elements in Group 1 of the Periodic Table have similar properties.
    The first three elements in this group are lithium, sodium and potassium.
    a Which one of these three elements is the least reactive? [1]

    ____________________________________________________________________________
    b Which one of these three elements has the largest mass number? [1]

    ____________________________________________________________________________
    2 a Explain what is meant by an ion. [1]

    ____________________________________________________________________________
    b Why is an ion of potassium more stable than an atom of potassium? [1]

    ____________________________________________________________________________
    3 Which of the following statements are correct?
    Tick (✓) three boxes. [3]

    A molecule is formed when two ions are attracted to one another.

    A covalent bond is formed when a pair of electrons is shared by two atoms.

    Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than covalent compounds.

    An ion that gains an electron has a positive charge.

    Methane and carbon dioxide are ionic compounds.

    Magnesium chloride and magnesium sulfate are ionic compounds.

    4 Explain how you could test to find out if a substance is ionic or covalent. You could draw
    a diagram if this helps to explain your answer. You should say how this experimental test
    will enable you to identify the type of compound. [3]
