Why, in terms of atomic structure, do atoms bond?

To achieve a full outermost electron shell OR to achieve a full valence electron shell

100

What type of bonding involves freely moving electrons?

Metallic

100

True or false. Ionic compounds have lower mp/bp than covalent compounds

False--ionic compounds melt and boil at hotter temperatures than covalent compounds

100

Write the name of the following compound: BrF5

Bromine Pentafluoride

100

An atom of which element reacts with an atom of hydrogen to form a bond with the least degree of polarity?

a) C    b) F    c) N    d) O 

a) C

200

What is the name of the group that tends not to bond or react?

Noble gases (the name not the number)

200

In an ionic bond, electrons transfer from what to what?

metal to nonmetal

200

What type of compound is always soluble in water?

Ionic

200

Element M is a metal and its chloride has the formula MCl2. What is the name of the group on the Periodic Table that element M most likely belongs to?

Alkaline Earth Metals (the name, not the group #)

200

What is the bond polarity AND the molecular polarity of CH4?

Bond polarity = polar

Molecular polarity = nonpolar

300

How many bonds can an atom of sulfur form?

2

300

Which of the following is a molecular compound? 

a) KCl   b) SrO   c) FeS   d) HBr

d) HBr (molecular means covalent)

300

Which of the following can conduct electricity only in the aqueous state? 

a) Cu  b) HCl  c) Ag  d) SrS

d) SrS (ionic can only conduct when dissolved in water or melted into a liquid)

300

Draw the Lewis electron-dot diagram for a molecule of oxygen


300

Explain, in terms of intermolecular forces, why water has a higher boiling point than hydrogen.

Water has stronger intermolecular forces (IMFs)
400

When a bond is formed between atoms, what energy change occurs? (is it released, absorbed, or does it stay the same?)

Energy is released

400

What type of bonding involves electrons being shared unequally?

polar covalent bond

400

Explain, in terms of electrons, why metallic substances conduct electricity in all phases.

Because they have freely moving electrons.

400

Draw the Lewis electron-dot diagram for potassium bromide


400

Explain, in terms of charge distribution, why water is a polar molecule

It has an asymmetrical distribution of charge OR an uneven/unequal charge distribution 

500

For the following chemical reaction, is it an endothermic or exothermic process? MgS(s) --> Mg(s) + S(s)

endothermic (must absorb energy to break bonds)

500

What type of bonding is present in the compound NaClO?

Ionic and covalent 

(whenever more than 2 elements, check table E for a polyatomic. Polyatomics are covalently bonded and the bond with the metal is ionic)

500

Quartz is an example of a network solid - a macromolecule with covalent bonds. Do network solids have high or low melting/boiling points?

HIGH--covalent compounds tend to have low mp/bp but because of the structure of network solids, they have very high mp/bp

500

What is the name of the compound TiO?

titanium(II) oxide

500

Explain, in terms of molecular polarity, why methane is not soluble in water

Methane is nonpolar and water is polar; in order to be soluble, they must have similar polarities
