Steel is an alloy consisting of Fe with a small amount of C. Elemental Cr can be added to steel to make the steel less likely to rust; Cr atoms react with oxygen in the air to form a nonreactive layer of chromium oxide on the surface of the steel, preventing the oxidation of underlying Fe atoms.

(The atomic radii of the atoms involved are given in the table below at the right.)
B
Steel is an alloy containing Fe atoms and C atoms. Which of the following diagrams represents the particle-level structure of steel?
B
Which of the following Lewis diagrams best represents the bonding in the N20 molecule?
B
Of the following diagrams, which best represents the structure of solid KF?

C2H6
Which of the following is an isomer of CH3OCH3?
CH3CH2OH
On the basis of the information opposite, which of the following arranges the binary compounds in order of increasing bond polarity?
CH4 < SiCl4 < SF4
To make Au stronger and harder, it is often alloyed with other metals, such as Cu and Ag. Consider two alloys, one of Au and Cu and one of Au and Ag, each with the same mole fraction of Au. If the Au/Cu alloy is harder than the Au/Ag alloy, then which of the following is the best explanation based on the information in the table above?
Cu atoms are smaller than Ag atoms, thus they interfere more with the displacement of atoms in the alloy

The melting point of MgO is higher than that of NaF. Explanations for this observation include which of the following? I. Mg2+ is more positively charged than Na+ 2. O2- is more negatively charged than F- III. The O2- ion is smaller than the F- ion
I and II only
Which of the following correctly indicates whether the solid represented by the particulate model shown opposite conducts electricity and explains why or why not?
It does not conduct electricity because its ions cannot move freely within the solid.
Which of the following compounds contains both ionic and covalent bonds?
NH4Cl
Based on the data in the tables opposite, which of the following statements provides the best prediction for the boiling point of NaCl?
NaCl will have a lower boiling point than NaF because the coulombic attractions are weaker in NaCl than in NaF.
