Question 7

How many total valence electrons are represented in the following electron configuration? 1s²2s²2p_x² 2p_y² 2p_z¹ or 1s²2s²2p⁵ A) 1 B) 3 C) 5 D) 7 E) 9

Accepted Answer

The given electron configuration represents a total of 7 valence electrons. The configuration ends with the 2p orbital having 5 electrons (2p^5), which indicates the presence of 5 valence electrons in the 2p orbital, plus the 2 electrons in the 2s orbital, totaling 7 valence electrons.

Question 8

According to atomic theory:
A) the nucleus is positively charged.
B) the nucleus contains both charged and uncharged particles.
C) the electrons contribute very little to the total mass of the atom.
D) the electrons are located in the atomic space outside the nucleus.
E) all of these

Accepted Answer

Atomic theory states that the nucleus is positively charged (A), contains both charged and uncharged particles (B), and that electrons contribute very little to the total mass of the atom (C). Additionally, the theory states that electrons are located in the atomic space outside the nucleus (D). Therefore, option E is the correct choice as it includes all of the statements made by atomic theory.

Question 10

Which of the following statements is not true?
A) The carbon-carbon single bond of an alkane is weaker than the carbon-carbon triple bond of an alkyne.
B) The carbon-carbon triple bond of an alkyne is shorter than the carbon-carbon double bond of an alkene.
C) The carbon-carbon triple bond of an alkyne is exactly three times as strong as a carbon-carbon single bond of an alkane.
D) The carbon-carbon single bond of an alkane is longer than the carbon-carbon triple bond of an alkyne.

Accepted Answer

The carbon-carbon triple bond of an alkyne is not exactly three times as strong as a carbon-carbon single bond of an alkane. The actual energy required to break these bonds depends on the specific molecules involved and the conditions under which the reaction occurs. However, it is generally true that the carbon-carbon triple bond is stronger than the carbon-carbon double bond, which in turn is stronger than the carbon-carbon single bond. Therefore, statements A, B, and D are all true.

Question 13

Consider the formation of an sp² hybrid orbital. Which of the following is true? A) Four equivalent hybrid orbitals are produced. B) One s and one p atomic orbital are involved. C) One p atomic orbital remains unhybridized. D) The hybrid orbitals produced can form p bonds. E) none of these

Accepted Answer

The hybridization involves one s and three p orbitals, resulting in four sp3 hybrid orbitals. However, one of the p orbitals remains unhybridized and can participate in pi bonding.

Question 14

Covalent bonding
A) involves a transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
B) occurs when atoms share all their valence electrons.
C) occurs when unpaired valence electrons are shared between atoms.
D) occurs when nonvalence electrons are shared between atoms.
E) none of these

Accepted Answer

Covalent bonding involves the sharing of unpaired valence electrons between atoms, allowing them to achieve a stable electronic configuration.

Question 18

In drawing the Lewis structure for an organic compound, the carbon atoms should always be shown with
A) lone pairs of electrons.
B) four single bonds.
C) eight total electrons.
D) a positive charge.
E) none of these

Accepted Answer

Carbon atoms should always be shown with eight total electrons in their valence shell to satisfy the octet rule, which is a fundamental principle in drawing Lewis structures for organic compounds. This can be achieved through a combination of single, double, or triple bonds and lone pairs, not necessarily just four single bonds.
