Q1. Multiple choice questions (Attempt all · 10 × 1 = 10)

  1. What does a small standard error (e.g., 0.1°C) show?
    1. That the value is uncertain
    2. That the average value is accurate
    3. That data is not useful
    4. That the experiment should be redone
  2. What did the Phlogiston Theory try to explain?
    1. Atomic structure
    2. Radioactivity
    3. Burning (combustion) and rusting
    4. Energy level
  3. Confidence intervals show:
    1. How hot a substance is
    2. How much data varies
    3. How precise a measurement is
    4. The probability of being wrong
  4. Repeatability shows that:
    1. Different scientists can repeat the experiment
    2. The experiment is consistent in different labs
    3. The experiment is well-controlled and consistent in one setting
    4. The experiment gives new results
  5. What happens when a scientific article is published?
    1. It's posted online
    2. It's ignored
    3. It must be reviewed and tested by other scientists
    4. It's considered always correct
  6. In the Plum Pudding Model (1904), what did J.J. Thomson compare atoms to?
    1. A gold sphere
    2. A pudding with negatively charged electrons scattered in a positively charged “soup”
    3. A mini solar system
    4. A jelly with protons
  7. What do chemists create based on what they observe in experiments?
    1. Models
    2. Energy
    3. Theories
    4. Both A and C
  8. What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment prove?
    1. Atoms are indivisible
    2. Atoms are mostly empty space with a dense, positively charged centre
    3. Atoms contain only electrons
    4. Atoms are made of pudding
  9. Who changed the way chemists do experiments by making them more accurate and reliable?
    1. Dmitri Mendeleev
    2. Antoine Lavoisier
    3. Isaac Newton
    4. Albert Einstein
  10. What is a scientific paradigm?
    1. A set of laws that never change
    2. A set of ideas, methods, and rules that guide scientists in their research
    3. A type of experiment done in a lab
    4. A theory that cannot be proven wrong
