OBJECTIVE: Administer this Practice Test 2 & thoroughly explain all incorrect answers.

1 Fluorine belongs to group 7A. How many covalent bonds are formed between two fluorine atoms?

A 1

B 2

C 3

D 4

EXPLANATION

you have to do the Lewis Structure

2 Molecules containing only polar covalent bonds ____.

A are always polar

B may or may not be polar

C are always ionic

D are always nonpolar

Blue atom made this tetrahedral shape polar because of symmetry

not polar because it is symmetrical. All atoms on central atom are the same

EXPLANATION

3 How many electrons can occupy a single molecular orbital?

A 0

B 1

C 2

D 4

EXPLANATION

All orbitals can only handle a maximum of 2 electrons.

4 What are shared in a covalent bond?

A ions

B Lewis Structures

C electrons

D dipoles

EXPLANATION

the word covalent means that electrons are being shared by 2 atoms, and not removed from one to the other.

5 What is the correct Lewis structure for hydrogen chloride, HCl?

A a

B b

C c

D d

EXPLANATION

Use my rules for figure out Lewis Structures, get total valence electrons, the use exceptions and octet rule to pass out electrons, then be sure the total valence electrons are there in the Lewis Str, no more, no less. Also see my vids on YouTube

6 The symbol mm represents

A micrometer

B millimeter

C milliliter

D meter

EXPLANATION

mm is a definition found in Ch 2 p. 26, combining milli- prefix the base unit meter.

7 Which of the following represents a compound?

A H

B H-3

C H2O

D O-16

EXPLANATION

molecules of a compound have at least 2 different kinds of atoms

8 Emission of light from an atom occurs when an electron ____.

A drops from a higher to a lower energy level

B jumps from a lower to a higher energy level

C moves within its atomic orbital

D falls into the nucleus

electron is excited by energy from outside atom (jumps to higher energy level), the light is given off (photon) when it drops back to its ground state

EXPLANATION

9 Trends in the properties of elements in a group or period can be explained in terms of

A binding energy

B atomic number

C electron configuration

D electron affinity

outer shell electrons (valence) determine ratios with which atoms combine to make molecules

EXPLANATION

10 How many electrons are shared in a double covalent bond?

A none

B one

C two

D four

EXPLANATION

each covalent bond is a "stick" and double = 2

11 When a stable covalent bond forms, the potential energy of the atoms:

A increases

B decreases

C remains constant

D becomes zero

energy increases

lowest possible energy level is a set distance between 2 atoms in a bond.

This graph shows relative energy of atoms as they move closer together

distance betwee, atoms

EXPLANATION

12 A substance that forms a vapor is generally in what physical state at room temperature?

A solid

B liquid

C gas

D liquid or solid

all substances have 3 states - solid, liquid & gas. This question is asking what is the original state of a substance that can be changed into a gas.

EXPLANATION

13 Which of the following measurements (of different masses) is the most accurate?

A 3.1000 g

B 3.100 g

C 3.122 22 g

D 3.000 000 g

The amount of accuracy a number shows is determined by the number of sig figs in the number.

EXPLANATION

14 In which of the following pair is the second particle listed larger than the first?

A K, Ga

B Pb, C

C Br, Br-

D Li, Li+

Positive ions are smaller than the atoms they started out as.

Negative ions are larger than the atoms they started out as.

Relative sizes of two different atoms can be determined by use the trend for size.

EXPLANATION

15 What is the formula for sodium sulfate?

A NaSO4

B Na2SO4

C Na(SO4)2

D Na2(SO4)2

Overall net charge on all molecules must be zero. If not, they will be consider ions

EXPLANATION

16 The shape of a molecule that has two covalent single bonds and no lone pairs on the central atom is ____.

A tetrahedral

B trigonal planar

C trigonal pyramidal

D linear

Presence of unshared pair on this molecule and the shape it represents, rules it out as a possible answer.

covalent

bond

covalent

bond

no u

nsh

are

d p

air

s

EXPLANATION

17 Which of the following elements can form diatomic molecules held together by triple covalent bonds?

A carbon

B oxygen

C fluorine

D nitrogen

Diatomic column 17 nitrogen oxygen hydrogen

EXPLANATION

18 A mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that binds the atoms together is called a(n)

A dipole

B Lewis structure

C chemical bond

D London force

EXPLANATION

chemical bond (c) look at ChemThink tutorial for Chemical Bonding

19 The substance whose Lewis structure shows three covalent bonds is

A H2O

B CH2Cl2

C NH3

D CCl4

EXPLANATION

20 What must occur for a change to be a chemical reaction?

A There must be a change in chemical properties.

B There must be a change in physical properties.

C The change must involve a change in mass.

D The change must involve a change in volume.

EXPLANATION

see Ch 3 onchem vs physical changes

21 As it travels through space, electromagnetic radiation

A exhibits wavelike behavior

B loses energy

C varies in speed

D releases photons

EXPLANATION

See Ch 5 on light, p. 118 re wave and p. 122 re particle

22 What is the formula for the compound formed by lead(II) ions and chromate ions?

A PbCrO4

B Pb2CrO4

C Pb2(CrO4)3

D Pb(CrO4)2

roman numerals after the name of a metal tell you the charge on a metal that can have more than one charge.

So "lead (II)" means that the ion of lead (the metal) has a 2+ charge

Charges on Pb and Chromate are equal, so we only need one of each.
