E: O—H

C: O—F

200

Out of C, Si, and P: which has the highest electronegativity?

C

300

Perchlorate

300

Which of these have a trigonal-pyramidal
A. H2O
B. NH3

300

Explain why molecules are polar or nonpolar.

molecules are polar when they have an electronegativity difference between the bonds...they pull unevenly. They are nonpolar when there is NOT an electronegativity difference and therefore the pull/attraction is the same.

300

As the number of covalent bonds between two atoms increases, the distance between the atoms ______ and the strength of the bond between them ______.


decreases; increases

300

A reaction that produces a gas is carried out in a sealed vessel on a balance. What happens to the mass the balance shows, as the reaction proceeds?

It does not change


400

Name three polyatomic ion that have a charge of -1

Possible answers:

Hydroxide, Nitrate, Chlorate, Acetate, biCarbonate

400

Explain what a trigonal pyramidal molecule actually looks like.

Possible answers:

a tripod

a pyramid

a tent.

400

Which of these species has an atom with an expanded octet? ozone(O3), triiodide ion(I3-), selenium dichloride(SeCl2), arsenic trifluoride(AsF3)

triiodide ion(I3-)

400

What is a dipole?

These occur when two atoms in a molecule have substantially different electronegativity: One atom attracts electrons more than another, becoming more negative, while the other atom becomes more positive. The have poles.

400

What is the correct explanation for why a sulfide ion has a larger radius than a sulfur atom?

Increased electron-electron repulsion in the outer shell

500

What is the name for (C2H3O2)-1?

Acetate

500

Find the bond angle present in sulfur dioxide.

120 degrees

500

Which of these species displays resonance? phosphorus pentachloride, phosphate ion, tetraphosporus decoxide, carbon monoxide

phosphate ion

500

Explain the difference between inTERmolecular forces and inTRAmolecular forces and give examples for each

inTERmolecular: between DIFFERENT molecules

ex. London dispersion force, dipole-dipole interaction, ion-dipole interaction, and van der Waals forces

inTRAmolecular: WITHIN the molecule

ex. chemical bonds such as ionic, covalent and metallic bonds

500

Explain the VSEPR theory.

Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory is a model used, in chemistry, to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms.
