Which of the following correctly indicates whether the solid represented by the particulate model shown above conducts electricity and explains why or why not?
It does not conduct electricity because its ions cannot move freely within the solid. In the solid state, the ions are held by strong coulombic forces in fixed positions within the lattice; thus they cannot move or migrate through the lattice.

The atomic mass of X is between 90 and 92.
Which of the following correctly compares periodic properties of two elements and provides an accurate explanation for that difference?
The atomic radius of Cl is smaller than that of S because Cl has a larger nuclear charge than S does.
Which of the following scientific claims about the bond in the molecular compound HF is most likely to be true?
The bond is highly polar. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, and the difference between the electronegativities of HH and FF is relatively large, resulting in a bond that is highly polar.
Which of the following complete Lewis diagrams represents a molecule containing a bond angle that is closest to 120°?
The carbon atom attached to the oxygen atoms exhibits sp2sp2 hybridization, thus the bond angles around it are close to 120. Another explanation is, the carbon atom attached to the two oxygen atoms is surrounded by three electron domains, which, according to VSEPR theory, will repel one another to produce a trigonal planar geometry around that atom.
After completing an experiment to determine gravimetrically the percentage of water in a hydrate, a student reported a value of 38 percent. The correct value for the percentage of water in the hydrate is 51 percent. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for this difference?
The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating
The particle-level diagram above represents the structure of solid KF. Although the molar mass of KCl is greater than that of KF, the density of KCl is actually less than that of KF. Which of the following representations of the structure of KCl best helps to explain this phenomenon?
The diagram shows that the chloride ions are larger than the fluoride ions, which causes the interionic distances in the solid to increase to the point where the effect of the larger spacing among ions in KCL is greater than the effect of the larger mass of the chlorine on the density.
A sample of a solid labeled as NaCl may be impure. A student analyzes the sample and determines that it contains 75 percent chlorine by mass. Pure NaCl(s) contains 61 percent chlorine by mass. Which of the following statements is consistent with the data?

A particle-level diagram of a metallic element is shown above. Typically, metals are both malleable and ductile. The best explanation for these properties is that the electrons involved in bonding among metal atoms are
equally shared and form nondirectional bonds In metals, electrons are free to move as described by the electron sea model. Electrons are shared equally among atoms, and the structure is based on simple close-packed structures that contain no fixed directional bonds.
