Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{SO_3$}^{2-} ($$sulfite)

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

Water has a bent molecular geometry and an uneven distribution of electron density.

Question 10

A sample of gas occupies $$4.00\ \mathrm{L} at$$ $$1.00\ \mathrm{atm}$$ and $$300\ \mathrm{K}. $$What volume will it occupy at $$2.00\ \mathrm{atm}$$ and $$300\ \mathrm{K}$$, assuming ideal behavior?

Accepted Answer

$$2.00\ \mathrm{L}$$

Question 11

Which of the following is the correct Lewis structure for carbon dioxide ($$\mathrm{CO_2$}$$)?

Accepted Answer

O=C=O, with each O atom having two lone pairs

Question 12

Which of the following best describes the effect of increasing atomic number across a period on atomic radius?

Accepted Answer

Atomic radius decreases due to increased nuclear charge pulling electrons closer.

Question 13

Which of the following is a correct resonance structure for the carbonate ion ($$\mathrm{CO_3$}^{2-}$$)?

Accepted Answer

One oxygen atom has a double bond to carbon, the other two have single bonds, and the negative charges are delocalized over the two singly bonded oxygens.
