What is the only letter of the alphabet that DOESN'T appear on the periodic table?

J (also accept Q, but it used to be there for Uuq)

200

The 3s subshell
200
What happens to the enthalpy of a system during an endothermic process?
It increases
200
What is the missing word? Breaking bonds __________ energy
"requires" or "needs"
200
Apart from mercury, what is the only other element that is liquid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure?
Bromine
300
What is the formula of the precipitate formed when ammonium sulfate solution reacts with strontium nitrate solution?
SrSO4
300
Out of C, Si and P: which has the highest electronegativity?
C
300
What is the sign of "delta H of vaporization" and how does its magnitude compare to "delta H of fusion" for a typical substance?
The sign is positive (endothermic) and it is generally greater than "delta H of fusion"
300
What do you call a covalent bond where both electrons come from one atom?
Dative bond
300
Which form (allotrope) of oxygen is produced in lightening strikes?
Ozone (O3)
400
How many moles of oxygen gas are required to completely burn 4 moles of methanol (CH3OH)?
2CH3OH + 3O2 gives 2CO2 + 4H2O 6moles of O2 are required
400
Which of these elements has the lowest first ionization energy: Mg, Al, Si, P, B, C, N ?
Al (dip after Mg)
400
How do you calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction, using the standard enthalpy change of formation of the reactants and products of the reaction?
Enthalpy change of reaction = sum of standard enthalpy change of formation of products - sum of standard enthalpy change of formation of reactants
400
Which of these species has an atom with an expanded octet? ozone, triiodide ion, selenium dichloride, arsenic trifluoride
triiodide ion
400

What color is liquid oxygen?

Blue

500
What piece of glassware is used to make up an exact 1.000M solution of NaCl(aq)?
Volumetric flask
500
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

A salt dissolves in water in a calorimeter and the forces formed are weaker than those broken. If the calorimeter does not insulate completely, how does the enthalpy change measured compare to the true enthalpy change for the dissolving? (give the sign of the enthalpy change and how the experimental value deviates from true)

The experimental enthalpy change is positive and smaller in magnitude than the true value
