1. Atomic Structure and Electron Configuration | 原子结构与电子排布
Question: An atom of element X has 19 protons and 20 neutrons. (a) State the atomic number and mass number of X. (b) Give its electron arrangement. (c) Identify the element and predict its position in the periodic table.
题目：某元素 X 的一个原子含有 19 个质子和 20 个中子。(a) 写出 X 的原子序数和质量数。(b) 给出其电子排布。(c) 推断该元素并预测它在周期表中的位置。
Answer: 9. (b) Electron arrangement: 2,8,8,1. (c) The element is potassium (K); it is in Group 1, Period 4.
答案：(a) 原子序数 = 19；质量数 = 39。(b) 电子排布：2,8,8,1。(c) 该元素为钾（K）；位于第 1 族、第 4 周期。
Explanation: tom is neutral, it has 19 electrons arranged in shells: 2 in the first, 8 in the second, 8 in the third, and 1 in the fourth. This last electron in the outer shell places the element in Group 1. The number of occupied shells (4) gives the period number.
解析：原子序数等于质子数，因此为 19。质量数 = 质子数 + 中子数 = 19 + 20 = 39。由于原子呈电中性，含有 19 个电子，排布方式为：第一层 2 个，第二层 8 个，第三层 8 个，第四层 1 个。最外层有 1 个电子，所以该元素位于第 1 族；电子层数为 4，因此位于第 4 周期。
2. The Periodic Table and Group 1 Reactivity | 周期表与第 1 族反应性
Question: Lithium, sodium, and potassium all belong to Group 1. (a) Write a word equation for the reaction of potassium with water. (b) Explain why reactivity increases down the group. Use ideas about electron structure.
题目：锂、钠和钾均属于第 1 族。(a) 写出钾与水反应的文字表达式。(b) 解释为何该族元素反应性自上而下增强，请从电子结构角度说明。
Answer: roxide + hydrogen. (b) As you go down Group 1, the outer electron is in a shell further from the nucleus. The electrostatic attraction between the positive nucleus and the negative outer electron decreases, and there is more shielding from inner electrons. Therefore, it is easier to lose the outer electron, making the element more reactive.
答案：(a) 钾 + 水 → 氢氧化钾 + 氢气。(b) 随着第 1 族往下，最外层电子处于离原子核更远的电子层。原子核正电荷与该电子之间的静电吸引力减弱，且内层电子屏蔽效应增强。因此，失去最外层电子更容易，反应性增强。
Extension: The same principle explains why francium, at the bottom of Group 1, is the most reactive alkali metal (though extremely rare). The observed fizzing and lilac flame for potassium are typical of a vigorous exothermic reaction.
拓展：同样原理可解释为何位于第 1 族底部的钫（尽管极其稀有）是最活泼的碱金属。钾与水的反应可观察到剧烈气泡与淡紫色火焰，是典型的强放热反应。
3. Ionic Bonding and Properties | 离子键与性质
Question: Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound. (a) Draw a dot-and-cross diagram to show the electron transfer in the formation of NaCl. (b) Explain why sodium chloride has a high melting point.
题目：氯化钠（NaCl）是一种离子化合物。(a) 用点叉图表示 NaCl 形成过程中的电子转移。(b) 解释为何氯化钠具有高熔点。
Answer: (a) Sodium loses its one outer electron and becomes Na⁺; chlorine gains that electron and becomes Cl⁻, both achieving a full outer shell. (b) There are strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions in the giant ionic lattice. A large amount of energy is needed to overcome these forces, resulting in a high melting point.
答案：(a) 钠失去其唯一的最外层电子形成 Na⁺；氯获得该电子形成 Cl⁻，两者都达到满壳层结构。(b) 在巨型离子晶格中，带相反电荷的 Na⁺ 与 Cl⁻ 之间存在强大的静电吸引力。克服这些力需要大量能量，因此熔点很高。
Common mistake: Students often forget that the ionic bond is an electrostatic force between ions, not a shared pair of electrons. In the diagram, use dots for sodium electrons and crosses for chlorine electrons, or vice versa, to clearly show transfer.
常见错误：学生常忘记离子键是离子之间的静电力，而非共享电子对。在点叉图中，可用圆点表示钠的电子，用叉号表示氯的电子，以便清楚显示电子转移。
4. Covalent Bonding and Simple Molecules | 共价键与简单分子
Question: Water (H₂O) is a covalent compound. (a) Draw a dot-and-cross diagram for a water molecule, showing outer electrons only. (b) Explain why water has a low boiling point despite having strong covalent bonds.
题目：水（H₂O）是一种共价化合物。(a) 画出只显示最外层电子的水分子点叉图。(b) 解释为何水虽有较强的共价键，沸点却很低。
Answer: (a) The oxygen shares one pair of electrons with each hydrogen; oxygen has two lone pairs. (b) Water exists as small molecules. There are weak intermolecular forces between water molecules, which require little energy to overcome, so the boiling point is low. The covalent O–H bonds inside the molecule are strong but are not broken during boiling.
答案：(a) 氧原子与每个氢原子共享一对电子；氧原子还有两个孤对电子。(b) 水以简单小分子形式存在。水分子之间只有弱的分子间作用力，克服这些力所需能量极少，因此沸点低。分子内部的 O–H 共价键虽强，但在沸腾过程中并不会断裂。
Key point: Do not confuse breaking intermolecular forces with breaking covalent bonds. In simple molecular substances like water, it is the intermolecular forces that are overcome when the substance melts or boils.
关键点：切勿混淆克服分子间作用力与断裂共价键。对于水等简单分子物质，当物质熔化或沸腾时，克服的是分子间作用力，而非共价键。
5. Balancing Chemical Equations | 配平化学方程式
Question: mbols (s), (l), (g), (aq) would be used if the iron is solid, oxygen is a gas, and the product is solid.
题目：配平下列符号方程式：Fe + O₂ → Fe₂O₃。若铁为固体、氧气为气体、产物为固体，应分别使用哪些状态符号？
Answer: 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃. State symbols: 4Fe(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Fe₂O₃(s).
答案：4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃。状态符号：4Fe(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Fe₂O₃(s)。
Explanation: Count the number of atoms on each side. Start with iron: 1 on left, 2 on right, so put 2 in front of Fe on the left, then we have Fe₂ right, so left needs 2 Fe. But then product has 3 O atoms, oxygen comes as O₂, so we need 3 O₂ molecules giving 6 O atoms total, producing 2 Fe₂O₃. Adjust Fe accordingly to 4. Always balance by changing coefficients, never subscripts.
解析：数清两边原子个数。先从铁开始：左边 1 个，右边 2 个，所以在左边 Fe 前放 2，右边为 Fe₂O₃，此时右边有 2 个铁，左边铁变成 2。但产物中还有 3 个氧原子，而反应物氧气是 O₂，因此需要 3 个 O₂ 分子得到 6 个氧原子，生成 2 个 Fe₂O₃。相应地 Fe 配成 4。始终通过改变化学计量数来配平，绝不能改动下标。
6. Relative Formula Mass and Moles | 相对化学式质量与摩尔
Question: H)₂. (Ar: Ca = 40, O = 16, H = 1) Then calculate the number of moles in 14.8 g of Ca(OH)₂.
题目：计算氢氧化钙 Ca(OH)₂ 的相对化学式质量（Mr）。（原子量：Ca = 40，O = 16，H = 1）再计算 14.8 g Ca(OH)₂ 的物质的量。
Answer: Mr = 40 + 2×(16 + 1) = 40 + 2×17 = 74. Moles = mass / Mr = 14.8 / 74 = 0.20 mol.
答案：Mr = 40 + 2×(16 + 1) = 40 + 2×17 = 74。物质的量 = 质量 / Mr = 14.8 / 74 = 0.20 mol。
Explanation: oms. So total mass = 40 + (2×16) + (2×1) = 74. Moles are calculated using the formula n = m / Mr, where m is mass in grams.
解析：在 Ca(OH)₂ 这类化学式中，括号外的下标 ₂ 会乘以括号内的所有原子：即含有 2 个氧原子和 2 个氢原子。因此总质量 = 40 + (2×16) + (2×1) = 74。物质的量使用公式 n = m / Mr 计算，其中 m 为以克为单位的质量。
7. Neutralisation and Making Salts | 中和反应与盐的制备
Question: A student wants to make pure, dry crystals of copper(II) sulfate from copper(II) oxide and sulfuric acid. Describe a safe method step by step. Include why the copper(II) oxide is added in excess.
题目：某学生欲用氧化铜与硫酸制备纯净干燥的硫酸铜晶体。请逐步描述安全操作方法，并解释为何要加入过量氧化铜。
Answer: Step 1: Gently heat dilute sulfuric acid in a beaker (using a Bunsen burner, with safety goggles). Step 2: Add black copper(II) oxide powder one spatula at a time while stirring, until no more dissolves and the powder remains on the bottom (in excess). Step 3: Filter the mixture while hot to remove the unreacted copper(II) oxide. Step 4: Heat the filtrate gently to evaporate some water until crystallisation point (or leave to cool and crystallise). Step 5: Filter out the crystals and dry them between filter papers. Excess copper(II) oxide ensures all the sulfuric acid has reacted, leaving a neutral solution safe for crystallisation.
答案：步骤 1：在烧杯中小心加热稀硫酸（使用本生灯，戴好护目镜）。步骤 2：边搅拌边一勺一勺地加入黑色氧化铜粉末，直到不再溶解且底部留有粉末（过量）。步骤 3：趁热过滤，除去未反应的氧化铜。步骤 4：微热滤液蒸发部分水分至结晶点（或静置冷却结晶）。步骤 5：过滤出晶体并用滤纸压干。过量的氧化铜确保所有硫酸都已反应完全，留下中性溶液以便安全结晶。
Safety note: Sulfuric acid is corrosive; wear gloves and goggles. Do not evaporate to dryness, as the crystals could decompose.
安全提示：硫酸有腐蚀性，须戴手套和护目镜。不要蒸干溶液，否则晶体可能分解。
8. Electrolysis of Molten Compounds | 熔融化合物的电解
Question: When molten lead(II) bromide (PbBr₂) is electrolysed using graphite electrodes, lead metal forms at one electrode and bromine gas at the other. (a) Explain what happens at the cathode. (b) Write a half-equation for the reaction at the anode.
题目：用石墨电极电解熔融溴化铅（PbBr₂）时，一极生成金属铅，另一极产生溴气。(a) 解释阴极发生的反应。(b) 写出阳极的半反应方程式。
Answer: duction. (b) At the anode (positive electrode), bromide ions (Br⁻) lose electrons: 2Br⁻ → Br₂ + 2e⁻ (oxidation). The overall reaction is PbBr₂(l) → Pb(l) + Br₂(g).
答案：(a) 在阴极（负极），铅离子（Pb²⁺）被吸引并得到电子，形成中性铅原子：Pb²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Pb。这是还原过程。(b) 在阳极（正极），溴离子（Br⁻）失去电子：2Br⁻ → Br₂ + 2e⁻（氧化过程）。总反应为 PbBr₂(l) → Pb(l) + Br₂(g)。
Key concept: In molten electrolysis, the only ions present are from the compound, so the products are predictable. Redox definitions: Oxidation Is Loss (of electrons), Reduction Is Gain (OIL RIG).
核心概念：在熔融电解中，只存在化合物本身的离子，因此产物可以预测。氧化还原定义助记：氧化失电子，还原得电子（OIL RIG）。
9. Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions | 放热与吸热反应
Question: The reaction between citric acid and sodium hydrogencarbonate is endothermic. A student measures a temperature drop from 21.0 °C to 16.5 °C when the two are mixed in a polystyrene cup. (a) Explain why this is an endothermic process in terms of bond breaking and bond making. (b) Calculate the temperature change and suggest why a polystyrene cup is used.
题目：柠檬酸与碳酸氢钠的反应为吸热反应。某学生在聚苯乙烯杯中将两者混合，测得温度从 21.0 °C 降至 16.5 °C。(a) 从化学键断裂与形成的角度解释为何该过程是吸热的。(b) 计算温度变化并说明使用聚苯乙烯杯的原因。
Answer: ducts. The overall energy is taken in from the surroundings, causing a temperature decrease. (b) Temperature change ΔT = 16.5 − 21.0 = −4.5 °C (a drop of 4.5 °C). A polystyrene cup is a good insulator, reducing heat exchange with the environment and making the measurement more accurate.
答案：(a) 在吸热反应中，断裂反应物中化学键所吸收的能量大于生成物中新键形成所释放的能量。总体能量自环境吸收，导致温度下降。(b) 温度变化 ΔT = 16.5 − 21.0 = −4.5 °C（下降了 4.5 °C）。聚苯乙烯杯是良好的隔热材料，可减少与环境的热交换，使测量更精确。
Common exam requirement: You may be asked to draw a reaction profile showing reactants at a lower energy than products, with an arrow going up to represent energy absorbed. Label activation energy correctly.
常见考点：可能会要求绘制反应过程图，展示反应物能量低于生成物，并带有向上的箭头表示能量被吸收。注意正确标出活化能。
