The energy required to completely separate a mole of a solid ionic compound into its gaseous ions.

Question 2

Which equation correctly represents Coulomb’s law for the electrostatic energy between two ions?

Accepted Answer

$$E_{el} = \kappa \frac{Q_1$ Q_2$}{d}$$

Question 3

Accepted Answer

All elements must always obey the octet rule.

Question 4

Which of the following molecules is an example of an exception to the octet rule due to having less than an octet?

Accepted Answer

BF$$_3$$

Question 5

What is the formal charge on the central nitrogen atom in the nitrate ion ($$NO_3$$^-$$) if the Lewis structure has one double bond and two single bonds to oxygen?

Accepted Answer

0

Question 6

Which of the following best explains why the reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas to form sodium chloride is so exothermic?

Accepted Answer

The large lattice energy released when Na$$^+$$ and Cl$$^-$$ ions come together in the solid.

Question 7

Which of the following molecules has a trigonal planar electron-domain geometry according to VSEPR theory?

Accepted Answer

BF$$_3$$

Question 8

Which of the following statements about bond enthalpy is correct?

Accepted Answer

Bond enthalpy is the energy required to break one mole of a specific bond in the gas phase.

Question 9

Given the following bond enthalpies: $$D(C-H) = 415 kJ/$$mol, $$D(Cl-Cl) = 243 kJ/$$mol, $$D(C-Cl) = 328 kJ/$$mol, $$D(H-Cl) = 431 kJ/$$mol. Calculate $$\Delta H_{rxn}$$ for the reaction: $$CH_4(g$$) + $$Cl_2(g$$) \rightarrow CH_3Cl(g) + HCl(g)$$.

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta H_{rxn} = [415 + 243] - [328 + 431] = 658 - 759 = -101 kJ$$

Question 10

Question 17

Which of the following molecules is expected to have the largest bond angle?

Accepted Answer

BF$$_3$$

Question 18

Which of the following is a correct statement about the effect of lone pairs on molecular geometry?

Accepted Answer

SF$$_6$$

Question 20

Which of the following best describes the difference between electron-domain geometry and molecular geometry?

Accepted Answer

Electron-domain geometry considers all electron domains, while molecular geometry considers only the arrangement of atoms.
