100

This stable and common diatomic element has the highest atomic number

What is Iodine?

100

This prefix means one thousand or 1 x 10^3

What is Kilo?

100

What is a Ligand?

Molecules or anions with lone pairs

100

What is a Complex Ion?

Central metal ion bonding to surrounding molecules (ligands).

100

What does it mean when a reaction is in equilibrium?

Rate of forward rxn = Rate of reverse run

200

This noble gas gets its name from the Greek word for the sun

What is Helium?

200

1.23 x 10^5 has this many significant figures

What is 3?

200
Which one is a Strong Field Ligand CN- or F-?

CN-

200

Why do Complex Ions form?

1. Metal cation attracts lone pairs of surrounding anions/ligands.

2. They have empty d-orbitals that can be filled.


200

What are the 3 conditions for a reaction to reach equilibrium?

1. Closed System (constant concentrations)

2. Constant Temperature (Changes in temperature changes K)

3. Must be reversible (if not then you only have a fwd rxn)

300

This alkali metal's atomic symbol is the 11th letter of the alphabet

What is Potassium?

300

When a solid directly changes into a gas without going through a liquid phase

What is Sublimation?

300

What is a Bidentate Ligand?

Ligands that form two single bods with metal center.

300

 What causes a complex ion solution to be colorful?

An electron transitioning from a low to high d-orbital level.
300

if K > Q, will the reaction shift forward or backwards?

Backwards.

400

This transition metal in the 4th period is often mistaken for the second alkaline earth metal that begins with the letter M

What is Manganese?

400

The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of these subatomic particles

What are Protons?

400

What is the charge on the metal ion in Mn(en)2Cl2? What is the Coordination number?

Mn2+

 Charge 2+

Coordination # = 6 (octahedral)

400

If a complex ion solution emits light of Red color, what color does it absorb? What is the wavelength of that color>

Absorbs compliment of the color emitted (green). Green wavelength (490-560nm).

400

Consider the rxn: 

2NO2(g) -->N2O4(g) + Heat

If heat is added to the rxn, in which direction will the reaction shift? Why?

Reverse Direction. Adding heat will shift to the left in order to absorb more heat and counteract the change. Creates more NO2(g).

500

This group of elements include Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Astatine, and Tennessine

What are Halogens?

500

Hydrogen has this atomic mass (3 sig. figs.)

What is 1.01?

500

Why do Stronger Field Ligands have great Octahedral Splitting Energies?

The lone pairs from the ligand cause greater repulsion with the metal ions d-orbitals that lead to larger splitting Energies. 

500

Explain why a d4 orbital can form both high and low spin complexes.

SFL : more paired e- because pairing energy < splitting energy which forms low spin complexes.

WFL: less paired e- because pairing energy > splitting energy which forms high spin complexes.

500

Given this rxn: A(g) --> B(g)

If [A] > [B], what will be the value of Kc?

A. K>1

B. Kc < 1

C. Idk Im just here for the pizza

B
