Accepted Answer

C) $$\mathrm{C_3H_8}$$

Question 5

Which of the following ions has the largest ionic radius?

Accepted Answer

C) $$\mathrm{O$$^{2-}$$}$$

A) Rb \u003c K \u003c Na \u003c Ca \u003c Cl

Question 7

Which of the following processes requires the most energy?

Accepted Answer

C) $$\mathrm{Mg^+(g) \rightarrow Mg$$^{2+}$$(g) + e^-}$$

Question 8

Which of the following molecules contains the most polar bonds?

Accepted Answer

Question 9

Which of the following is the correct formula for thiosulfate ion?

Accepted Answer

B) $$\mathrm{S_2O_3$$^{2-}$$}$$

Question 10

Which of the following best explains why $$\mathrm{Mg$$^{2+}$$} is $$smaller than $$\mathrm{Na^+}$$?

Accepted Answer

A) $$\mathrm{Mg$$^{2+}$$}$$ has more protons and the same number of electrons as $$\mathrm{Na^+}$$, so the electrons are pulled closer.
