| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Write the balanced equation of the formation of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) from aluminum being exposed to oxygen gas. | 4 Al + 3 O2 = 2 Al2O3 |
| Name an element likely to be oxidized. | Most metals and H2 |
| Of the following, which is the best reducing agent: Cl2, H+, (SO4)2-, Mg | Mg - the reducing agent is the element that is oxidized in a redox reaction |
| Of the following, which is the best oxidizing agent: Cl2, H2, (SO4)2-, Mg | Cl2 - the oxidizing agent is the element that is reduced in the redox reaction |
| The oxidation number for N in (NO3)1- is.... | +5 |
| The oxidation number for P in (PO4)3- is... | +5 |
| Is the following a redox reaction: Cu + 2 Ag+ = 2 Ag + (Cu)2+ | Yes - The Ag is reduced (gaining electrons) and Cu is oxidized (losing electrons) |
| Is the following a redox reaction: CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 + 2 H2O | Yes - The O is reduced and the reducing agent is H |
| Is the following a redox reaction: SiCl4 + 2 H2O = 4 HCl + SiO2 | No - no element was oxidized or reduced. All kept their original oxidation number |
| What is the overall balanced neutralization reaction that would result in the formation of the salt calcium sulfate (CaSO4) | Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4 = CaSO4 + 2 H2O |
| What is the balanced equation for the reaction between aqueous Na2SO4 and aqueous Pb(NO3)2 | Na2SO4 + Pb(NO3)2 = PbSO4 + 2 NaNO3 |
| What is the net ionic equation of Na2SO4 + Pb(NO3)2 = PbSO4 + 2 NaNO3 | (Pb)2+ + (SO4)2- = PbSO4 **Remember to show the charges on the ions! |
| "(NO3)2 = PbSO4 + 2 NaNO3 | Na+ and (NO3)- **Remember to show the charges on the ions! |
| What classification is the equation Na2SO4 + Pb(NO3)2 = PbSO4 + 2 NaNO3 | exchange reaction |
| What is the balanced reaction for the formation of copper (I) oxide from its elements | 4 Cu + O2 = 2 Cu2O |
| When would you take the time to use formal charges? What is it helpful in deciding? | You use formal charge when a molecule has resonance forms. It helps decide which resonance form is most likely possible. |
| What must a molecule have to have a "pi bond"? What are "the players/entities/things" involved directly when a "pi bond" is in place (what's doing what with what to create this bond)? | A pi bond is the second bond between atoms when there needs to be 2 pairs of shared electrons. Py and Pz shells create the "pi bond" |
| In order to have a molecule with a molecular geometry of "square planar", how many electron groupings must be about the central atom? | 6 |
| Name two possible molecular geometries for a central atom that has hybridization of sp2. | Triangular planar and bent |
| Which of the following have cis- and trans-isomers: ClBrC=CH2 or ClHC=CHBr | ClHC=CHBr |
| The most electronegative atom of the following: C, N, Si, P | N |
| Name two possible molecular geometries for a central atom that has hybridizations of d2sp3 | Square pyramidal and square |
| For the molecule CCl2F2 (where "C" is the central atom), which atoms has, or atoms have a partial negative charge? | F and Cl |
| Lis a molecule compound that contains a non-polar covalent bond | CO2, CH4 |
| In order to have a molecule with a molecular geometry of "T-shaped", how many electron groupings must be about the central atoms? | 5 |
| List ALL of the following elements that can form compounds with five or six pairs of valence electrons surrounding their atoms out of: C, P, O, F, Cl, B, Se, I | P, Cl, Se, I |
| Name and element that has very high electronegativity | F - Fluorine |
| Why does Fluorine have a very high electronegativity? | Because it is so small and the shared pairs have very small space (very limited shielding) from the nucleus |
| When an element is said to have high electronegativity what does that mean? | That the element is the most polar in the molecule and will pull other electron pairs towards itself |
| For each molecule of carbon monoxide, which atom has a partial plus charge? | Carbon |
| Name a compound that contains polar covalent bonds. | H2O |
| The most electronegative out of the following: C, N, Si, P | N |
| Of the following single bonds, which is the most polar: C-C, C-O, C-Cl, C-F, C-N | C-F |
| Of the following single bonds, which is the least polar: C-C, C-O, C-Cl, C-F, C-N | C-C |
| The S-C-S bond angle in a CS2 molecule is predicted to be _______ degrees | 80 |
| Why are ionic compounds solids at room temperature? | They have a very strong bond/attraction of each other and are held very tightly together |
| Why are most polar molecules liquids? | The atoms have a partial plus and partical negatives creating a static cling - they tend to be sticky |
| Why are most non-polar molecules gases? | There is very little attraction between atoms - they move around very freely |
