Using your EN chart, determine the bond type in NF3

What is 1.0, meaning it is polar covalent? 

100

What is frequency? What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency? 

What is the number of cycles of a wave that happen in a unit of time, and an inverse relationship (as wavelength decreases, frequency increases)? 

100

As you move across a period from left to right, atomic radius generally does this. 

What is decrease? 

100

Ionic bonds form between these two types of elements.

What are metals and nonmetals?

100

Name this compound: CO2

What is carbon dioxide?
200

Give me the full electron configuration for Nitrogen.

What is 1s22s22p3?

200

This part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the shortest wavelength and the highest energy. 

What are gamma rays?

200

The ability of an atom to attract electrons in a bond is called _______

What is electronegativity? 

200

Name this compound: Na2O?

What is sodium oxide?

200

Write the formula for dinitrogen pentoxide 

What is N2O5?

300

Write the abbreviated electron configuration for Sulfur

What is [Ne]3s23p4?

300

In a PES graph, peaks at a higher binding energy correspond to electrons that are ____________

What is closer to the nucleus?

300

Explain the rationale for the ionization energy trend (both directions).

What is ionization energy increases from left to right because the nuclear charge pulls the electrons closer, and decreases down a group because there are more energy shells, therefore the electrons are further away from the nucleus?

300

Write the chemical formula for iron (II) chloride

What is FeCl2?

300

Briefly explain how the atoms of [what type?] are held together. 

What are the metal atoms are held together due the loose hold they each have on their valence electrons, which creates a sea of delocalized electrons that allows for electrostatic attractions? 

400

Give the full and abbreviated electron configuration for V+4

What is 1s22s22p63s23p64s03dand [Ar] 4s03d1

400

Explain how different metal salts emit distinct colors (using the correct terminology).

What is different metal salts have unique orientations of their corresponding electrons? When these electrons are excited to a different energy level, they will fall down very quickly. Depending on this unique electron orientation, that fall distance will be different, therefore the emission will pertain to a specific wavelength (=color). 

400

Explain the rationale for why Cl has the highest electron affinity instead of F.

What is because chlorine is in the third energy shell, which can hold more electrons than the second energy shell, therefore decreasing the amount of electron-electron repulsion (simply due to the increase of space), so it is more willing to become a negative ion?

400

Give the name for this: K2SO4

What is potassium sulfate? 

400

Give the molecular formula for this: Hydrosulfuric acid.

What is H2S?

500

Draw the two other (FG will draw one on the board) resonance structures for carbonate. Additionally, solve for the formal charge for ONE of these structures.

What is (FG will draw on the board)?
