Describe the naming rules for an ionic compound like NaCl. What is the name of this compound?

The name of the cation (metals) with a definite charge is unchanged whereas the anion will have the "-ide" suffix replace the last few letters. Sodium Chloride.

100

Describe the difference between chlorine monoxide and ClO-

Can you draw the the Lewis Dot Structures for both? What is unique about chlorine monoxide?

Chlorine monoxide is a covalent compound whereas ClO- is the polyatomic ion hypochlorite.


Chlorine monoxide is what we call a chemical radical because the oxygen cannot fill the octet rule and has a lone electron.

100

Name the three intermolecular forces in order of relative strenght

London Dispersion Forces, Dipole-dipole, Hydrogen Bonding (weakest to strongest)
100

Name the three electron geometries and the five molecular geometries.

Electron geometries: Linear, Trigonal Planar, and Tetrahedral.

Molecular geometries: Linear, Bent, Trigonal Planar, Trigonal Pyramidal, and Tetrahedral.

100

Describe the three states of matter and which of the three contains the most energy.

Solids are the most compact and have the least energy, liquids are less compact and have the second highest energy, gases are the least compact, fastest moving, and have the highest energy.

200

Contrast the covalent naming rules with ionic naming rules. Name the prefixes (1-10) for covalent compounds. 

Covalent compounds will use prefixes to indicate the number of each atom whereas ionic compounds have an unchanged cation with an anion using the "-ide" suffix.

mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, nona, deca

200

Name the following compound: Cu(OH)2

Copper (II) Hydroxide

200

Describe the electronegativity trend on the periodic table. Which element is the most electronegative?

Electronegativity increase when moving up and to the right of the periodic table. Fluorine is the most electronegative element.

200

What change causes the molecular geometry to be different from the electron geometry? E.g. water has a tetrahedral electron geometry but bent molecular geometry; why?

Lone pairs. Electron geometry describes how many "things" are around an atom. The molecular geometry describes how many other molecules are around the atom. 

200

True/False: during a phase change, the temperature of a substance is either decreasing or increasing.

False, during the phase change, the temperature is static while the atoms transition from one state to the next.

300

Identify the names and whether they are ionic or covalent for the following compounds:

CaS, C2H4

Calcium Sulfide, Dicarbon Tetrahydride

300

Write the chemical formulas for the following polyatomic ions:

Cyanide, Hydroxide, Ammonium, Hydronium, Acetate

CN-, OH-, NH4+, H3O+, CH3COO-

300

Rank these molecules from weakest to strongest intermolecular forces: 

CH4, C2H4, CH3F, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3

Methane < Ethylene < Pentane < Fluoromethane

300

Draw the Lewis Dot Structure for Hydrogen Peroxide H2O2

What are the electron and molecular geometries for oxygen? If they differ, why? What are the bond angles?

The oxygens have tetrahedral electron geometries but bent molecular geometries. The lone pairs "push" away the hydrogens to create a bent shape where the bond angles are <109 degrees.
300

A molecule in which state of matter contains the most energy and why?

Gaseous particles contain the most energy because they are moving at high speeds and therefore have the most kinetic energy.

400

Write the formula for the compound Copper (II) Phosphide. Is this compound ionic or covalent?

Cu3P2; Ionic because it contains a metal.


400

Name the following compounds:

Ca(ClO2)2, BeSO3, Mg3(PO3)2

Calcium Chlorite, Beryllium Sulfite, and Magnesium Phosphite

400

Describe how boiling point, surface tension, and vapor pressure change with stronger IMFs. Why?

With stronger IMFs, the boiling point and surface tension will increase whereas the vapor pressure will decrease. This is because stronger IMFs will prevent molecules from escaping into the air (more molecules in the air means greater vapor pressure).

400

Draw the Lewis Dot Structures for NF3 and SF2. Describe the electron and molecular geometries for the central atom of each. Which one has small bond angles?

NFwill be tetrahedra/trigonal pyramidal and SF2 will be tetrahedral/bent. While both will have bond angles <109 degrees, SF2 will have the lesser bond angle because it has more lone pairs.

400

Name all the phase changes.

Vaporization, Condensation,  Sublimation, Deposition, Freezing, Melting

500

Write the formula or name for the following compounds:

Trisilicon Tetranitride; Mn3N4

Si3N4, Manganese (IV) Nitride

500

Write the formula or name for the following compounds:

Lead (IV) Bicarbonate; Cr(MnO4)3

Pb(HCO3)4; Chromium (III) Permanganate 

500

Rank these molecules from lowest to highest boiling points:

CH4, BF3, CH3OH, KCl, C2H6

Methane < Ethane < Boron Trifluoride < Methanol < Potassium Chloride

500

Draw the Lewis Dot Structure of Isopropyl Alcohol: CH3CH(OH)CH3

Describe the electron and molecular geometries of each element.

requires payment to insert image so I'll just draw it for yall

Carbon is tetrahedral, tetrahedral; Hydrogen is linear, linear; Oxygen is tetrahedral, bent.

500

What is a surfactant and how can it be used to dissolve compounds with differing intermolecular forces?

Surfactants like soaps have a hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic tail. This enables it to attach to both polar and non polar compounds to dissolve them.
