How many mols of hydrogen are in 2 mols of H20

4 mols

200

Why do atoms get bigger when we move down a column on the periodic table

More shells, shielding, and distance from nucleus

200

where will my next electron go?

3d 1

After reading a free response question, the first thing you write down is what?

Reference equation

300

an atoms ____ is the amount of energy that is released upon the addition of an electron. This energy is High/Low when a group 7 element gains an electron. 

Electron Affinity/ High

300

Which of the following sets of quantum numbers could possibly describe an electron in ground As

C. n=2 l=1 ml=-1 ms=-1

B. n=2 l=2 ml=-2 ms=-1/2

C. n=3 l=2 ml=-2 ms=1/2

D. None of these

D: None of these

300

What does "the ground up" mean when talking about filling electrons into shells.

You fill the lower energy orbitals before going up an energy level or orbital type

300

Which of these Ionizations is likely to require the most energy.

A. Li -> Li+ + e-

B. Al2+-> Al3+ +e-

C. K+ -> K2+ + e-

C. C. K+ -> K2+ + e-


* Trying to take an e- away from a "noble gas "

300

How is the molecular formula different from the empirical formula

Molecular formula is the formula that contains the exact amount of atoms in the molecule. The empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of the elements.

400

Elements with valance electrons is ___ orbitals are likely to react very quickly when they gain/lose Electrons and these reactions happen more vigorously as we move down a column/ group

S orbitals/ lose electrons

400

How many grams of  C6H13NO2 are contained in 6.75x1023 molecules of this substance. 


MM of C6H13NO2 = 131.13


6.75x1023 molecules x 131.13 g /6.022x1023=


147 G

400

A. Ca2+               D. O2-

B. S-                    E. V4+

C. F-

A. Ca2+

400

Elements with valence electrons in orbitals quantified by quantum number ml= 2 are most likely to ______ to become more stable by getting a full octet.

A. Gain

B. Lose

C. Stay the Same

D. Unable to tell

D. Unable to tell. D orbitals are weird and behave different than non metals and Alkali and Alkali Earth metals.

400

 Mg has 12 protons. Chlorine has 17 protons. They are on the same row Why might an Mg2+ Ion be smaller than a Cl- atom

Mg2+ loses a the n=3 energy level and holds its remaining electrons tighter around it on the n=2 level.

500

Giving a chlorine atom an electron is likely to release (more/less) energy than giving an electron to a Fluorine atom. Also, to remove this electron again it would take (More/Less) energy to take the Electron away from the Fluorine vs the Chlorine. Why?

Less, More

500

A laser pulse with wavelength 532 nm contains 33.3 mj of energy. How many photons are in this laser pulse.

532 nm= 532x109 M

33.3 mj= .0333 J

E=h.c/v 

8.91x1016 photons.

solve for E then E total/ E photon= Number of photons

500

What element in Row 3 is most likely to lose a valance electron in an l=1 orbital. Upon losing this electron give an example of a cation it might be isoelectric to, and state how mant more ionizations can it participate in before it sees a large jump in ionization energy.

Aluminum, Si2+, two more ionizations before jump

500

 A SN2 reaction happens when a nucleophile attacks and kicks out a leaving group which is often an atom left with a - charge. In order for a group to leave it must be relatively stable. Which of the following atoms is likely to be the the best leaving group due to its ability to be stable as an anion   A. Carbon  B. Magnesium  C. Chlorine  D. Sodium 


Chlorine. Cl- is noble gas configuration (super stable)
