Which statement best describes the effect of low ionization energies and low electronegativities on metallic bonding?

A
The valence electrons are easily delocalized.
B
The valence electrons stay in a single orbital.
C
The valence electrons break free of the crystals.
D
The valence electrons move closer to the nuclei.
7

Lewis structures cannot

A
show the number of valence electrons.
B
show the location of bonds.
C
show the strength of bonds.
D
show how many bonds are present in a molecule.
10

Which of the following compounds would be expected to have the strongest ionic bonds?

A
the compound that has the largest ions with the greatest charge
B
the compound that has the largest ions with the least charge
C
the compound that has the smallest ions with the greatest charge
D
the compound that has the smallest ions with the least charge
11

How do ionic bonds affect the properties of ionic compounds?

A
The bonds weakly hold ions together, increasing the melting point.
B
The bonds strongly hold ions together, reducing the boiling point.
C
The bonds prevent ions from moving throughout the crystal, so a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor.
D
The bonds prevent electrons from moving throughout the crystal, so a solid ionic compound is a good conductor.

Which is the Lewis structure for H3PO4?

A
mc013-1.jpg
Option A
B
A central upper P is single bonded left, right, above, and below to upper Os. The O above the P is single bonded to upper H on the left and the right, and has two electron dots above it. The O below the P is single bonded to an H below, and has pairs of electron dots to the left and right.
Option B
C
A central upper P is double bonded to an O above, and single-bonded to an upper O single-bonded to an upper H to the left and the right. The O above the P has three pairs of electron dots, to the left, above, and to the right; the O's to the right and left have pairs of dots above and below.
Option C
D
A central upper P is bonded to an upper H above, an upper O below, and upper O's bonded to upper H's to the left and the right. The O below the P has three pairs of electron dots, to the left, right, and below; the other two O's have pairs of dots above and below. A central upper P is double bonded to an O above, and single-bonded to an upper O single-bonded to an upper H to the left and the right. The O above the P has three pairs of electron dots, to the left, above, and to the right; the O's to the right and left have pairs of dots above and below.
Option D

16

Which statement best describes the properties of metals?

A
They are shiny and bend without breaking.
B
They are dull and are good electrical insulators.
C
They conduct electricity well and are brittle.
D
They can be flattened and do not conduct heat well.
17

Which statement is true about ionic compounds?

A
Solid ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity.
B
Ionic compounds have varying solubilities in water.
C
Ionic compounds have very low melting points.
D
Ionic compounds are very easy to bend.
19

Which reason best explains why metals are shiny?

A
because their valence electrons reflect light
B
because their valence electrons absorb light
C
because their valence electrons oscillate between bands
D
because their valence electrons move to higher energy levels
20

Which statement correctly describes the actual yield and the theoretical yield of a reaction?

A
The actual yield is calculated from the reactant amounts, but the theoretical yield must be measured for each instance of a reaction.
B
The actual yield is calculated from the amount of the limiting reactant, and the theoretical yield is calculated from the amount of the excess reactant.
C
The actual yield depends on the reaction conditions, but the theoretical yield varies only with reactant amounts.
D
The actual yield represents the maximum yield possible, and the theoretical yield assumes perfect reaction conditions.
