Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{CH}_2\mathrm{O}$$

Question 7

Which of the following best describes the difference between an ionic and a covalent compound?

Accepted Answer

Question 11

Which of the following is the correct electron configuration for a neutral oxygen atom?

Accepted Answer

$$1s^2$$\ $$2s^2$$\ $$2p^4$$

Question 12

Which of the following best explains why water is a polar molecule?

Accepted Answer

Water has a bent molecular shape and a difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen.

Question 13

A solution is prepared by dissolving 5.00 g of NaCl in enough water to make 250 mL of solution. What is the molarity of the solution? (Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol)

Accepted Answer
