The effective nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons of a neutral nitrogen atom is: A.+7 B.+5 C.−3 D.−5.

Each proton in the nucleus of an atom contributes one unit of positive charge that exerts an electrostatic attraction on the negatively charged electrons around the atom. However, in atoms with several electrons, the core electrons positioned between the valence electrons and the nucleus provide a shielding constant S that counteracts part of the full nuclear charge Z attracting the valence electrons. As a result, the valence electrons experience an effective nuclear charge Zeff that is less than the full nuclear charge, such that Zeff=Z−S Precisely calculating S is difficult and depends on the electron density of a given electron orbital configuration, but a rough, first-order approximation can be made by assuming that S is approximately equal to the number of core electrons. When comparing atoms within the same period (row) of the periodic table, this approximation shows that Zeff increases as the atomic number increases. However, because this approximation does not account for electron density or orbital distance, it is less useful for precisely comparing Zeff between atoms in the same group (column) or in different rows of the periodic table. Applying this approximation to calculate the Zeff experienced by the valence electrons of a nitrogen atom with 7 protons (Z = 7) and 2 core electrons (S = 2) gives: Zeff,N=Z−S=(7−2)=+5

Compare Na+ and Mg+2 in terms of size, which one is smaller?

Cations are generally smaller than neutral atoms and anions in an isoelectronic series, but Na+ is not the smallest because it has one less proton than Mg2+ (lesser Zeff to pull the electrons toward the nucleus).

The regulation of mineral ions in the cellular fluids of biological systems is performed by ion pumps that selectively transport ions of specific size and charge across cellular membranes. Which of the following isoelectronic species is the smallest ion? A.Na+ B.F− C.Mg2+ D.O2−

Compared to the neutral atom of a given element, its cation will be smaller but its anion will be larger. Losing electrons to form a cation causes the remaining electrons to experience a greater effective nuclear charge (Zeff), pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus. Conversely, gaining electrons to form an anion produces greater electronic repulsion and nuclear shielding (lesser Zeff), which pushes electrons farther from the nucleus. (Na+, F−, Mg2+, and O2− ions are isoelectronic (have the same number of electrons), but because the number of protons is different in each ion, the electrons in each ion experience a different Zeff. Therefore, in an isoelectronic series, ionic radii decrease with increasing atomic number. Because magnesium has the highest atomic number (greatest number of protons) in the isoelectronic series, Zeff is greatest in this ion, making it the smallest within the given series.)

When oxalate anions, C2O42−, are added to a solution of [Fe(H2O)6]3+, the formation of [Fe(C2O4)3]3− occurs in a series of steps that together result in the following overall reaction: [Fe(H2O)6]3+(aq) + 3 C2O42−(aq) → [Fe(C2O4)3]3−(aq) + 6 H2O(l) During the first step of the reaction, two new coordinate bonds are formed to produce an intermediate ion of: A.[Fe(H2O)4(C2O4)]+(aq). B.[Fe(H2O)2(C2O4)2]−(aq). C.[Fe(C2O4)3]3−(aq). D.[Fe(H2O)5(C2O4)]2−(aq).

Complex ions (coordination complexes) consist of a central metal ion surrounded by one or more ions or molecules called ligands that are bound to the metal center by coordinate bonds. The coordinate bonds form because the ligands surrounding the metal center act as Lewis bases and donate a lone pair of electrons to the metal center, which acts as a Lewis acid. These Lewis acid-base coordinations hold the complex together, but stronger Lewis bases can displace weaker Lewis bases as ligands within the complex. In the [Fe(H2O)6]3+ complex ion, an uncharged water molecule serving as a ligand is a weak Lewis base and can be displaced by the oxalate (C2O42−) anion, a stronger Lewis base. Each C2O42− anion displaces two water molecules and decreases the overall charge of the resulting complex ion by −2. Displacement of water within the complex occurs in a stepwise sequence. In the first step, two water molecules are displaced from [Fe(H2O)6]3+ by a single C2O42− anion to form an intermediate complex ion: [Fe(H2O)6]3+(aq) + C2O42−(aq) → [Fe(H2O)4(C2O4)]+(aq) + 2 H2O(l) In the second and third steps, additional C2O42− anions displace the remaining water ligands to form the final product. (Choice B) This is the intermediate ion formed during the second step of the reaction, not the first step. (Choice C) This is not an intermediate ion; it is the end product formed during the final third step of the overall net reaction. (Choice D) Both the ion charge and this formula are incorrect. The first step adds one C2O42− ion to the complex, but each oxalate ion displaces two water molecules and decreases the overall charge of the complex by −2.

Formal charge and oxidation state are two different ways of accounting for electrons between atoms.

A.+1, −1 B.0, −1 C.0, −2 D.−1, −2

Formal charge and oxidation state (oxidation number) are two different methods used to account for electrons around an atom. Formal charge and oxidation state are not necessarily equal because these values signify different aspects related to chemical bonding. Formal charge assesses the allocation of charge to the atoms in a Lewis structure based on the bonding configuration of the atoms. Oxidation state assesses the gain or loss of electrons by an atom (relative to the elemental valence configuration) due to bond formation. (ANS: B)

Moving down the column, the alkaline-earth metals are observed to give increasingly vigorous reactions when forming ionic bonds with nonmetals (Reactions 1-3). Based on atomic properties, this trend in reactivity is best explained by comparing: A.the energy required to remove an electron from each atom. B.the tendency of each atom to attract electrons within a bond. C.the extent to which the electron cloud of each atom can be distorted by an external charge.[14%] D.the energy released when an electron is added to each atom.

Formation of an ionic bond between an alkaline-earth metal and a nonmetal requires the valence electrons of the metal atom to be removed and transferred to the nonmetal atom. Of the four properties previously discussed, only ionization energy quantifies how easily electrons are removed from an atom. Moving down the alkaline-earth metal column, ionization energy decreases. This makes removing an electron more favorable and increases reactivity. (Choice B) Although the reactivity of the alkaline-earth metals does increase as electronegativity decreases, this correlation does not explain the cause of the reactivity trend. IF Reactions proceed by forming ions (ionization); electronegativity is not the best property to explain the reactivity trend. (Choice C) If reactions depend on the transfer of electrons (ionic bond formation) rather than on the distortion of the electron cloud. (Choice D) Electrons must be removed from (not added to) the alkaline-earth metals for Reactions to occur.

Which of the following would be the second step if ozone formation goes to completion? A.O + O2 → O3 B.2O + 2O2 → 2O3 C.3O2 → 2O3 D.O + 2O2 → O3

In the formation of ozone (O3), first, one molecule of oxygen (O2) is split into two oxygen atoms as intermediates (O2 → 2O). The oxygen atoms are then consumed as each reacts with an oxygen molecule to form ozone. For the reaction to go to completion, the two oxygen atoms must combine with two O2 molecules to form two ozone molecules (2O + 2O2 → 2O3) in the second step. (Choice A) O + O2 → O3 correctly shows the reaction of one oxygen atom with one O2 molecule to form one ozone molecule. However, the question states that two oxygen atoms are formed as intermediates in the initial step, both of which must be consumed for the reaction to go to completion.

When comparing atoms across the same row of the periodic table, which of the following groups will contain the atom with the lowest second ionization energy? A.Group 1 B.Group 2 C.Group 14 D.Group 16

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron (e−) from an atom or ion (measured in the gas state). The first ionization energy refers to the removal of the first electron from a neutral atom of an element (X): X + energy → X+ + e− The second ionization energy refers to the removal of a second electron: X+ + energy → X+2 + e− Loosely bound electrons (valence electrons) are removed first before any core electrons. Accordingly, removing a core electron takes more energy than does removing a valence electron. On the periodic table, metals generally have a lower first ionization energy than nonmetals, and first ionization energies tend to increase across a row and decrease down a column. The same is true for the second ionization energy except when the second electron being removed is not a valence electron. If comparing elements in period (row) three, the nonmetals Si (Group 14) and S (Group 16) are farther to the right in the period, and both have a higher second ionization energy than the metals Na and Mg. However, the second ionization energy of Na (Group 1) is much higher than that of Mg (Group 2) because Na has only one valence electron and removing a second electron from Na requires the loss of a core electron. The availability of a second valence electron gives Mg (Group 2) the lowest second ionization energy.

In pure water at 25 °C, the concentration of a saturated solution of CuF2 is 7.4 × 10−3 M. If measured at the same temperature, what is the concentration of a saturated solution of CuF2 in aqueous 0.20 M NaF? A.8.1 × 10−6 M B.4.0 × 10−5 M C.7.4 × 10−3 M D.6.4 × 10−2 M

Solubility refers to the maximum amount of a compound that can dissolve per unit volume of a solvent at a particular temperature. When an ionic compound is placed in water, the composite ions will dissociate to some extent into the solution and establish an equilibrium. The solubility product constant Ksp of the equilibrium provides a measure of the solubility. If a solution contains two salts that have an ion in common, the common ion supplied by one salt produces a common ion effect that stresses the product side of the equilibrium of the other salt and shifts the equilibrium to the left. Accordingly, for both salts the solubilities decrease. CuF2(s) ⇄ Cu2+(aq)+2 F−(aq) NaF(s) ⇄ Na+(aq)+F−(aq) When dissolving CuF2 in 0.20 M NaF, initially there is no Cu2+ or F− in solution from CuF2 but there is 0.20 M F− from the NaF. If an amount x of CuF2 subsequently dissolves, the changes and equilibrium concentrations can be evaluated as shown above. Placing these equilibrium values into the Ksp expression for CuF2 gives Ksp=[Cu2+][F−]2=(x)(0.20+2x)2 Because the Ksp of CuF2 is small, it can be assumed that x is very small compared to 0.20 M. In this case, (0.20 + 2x) can be approximated as 0.20 M to simplify the calculation: Ksp=(x)(0.20)2=0.040x As stated in the passage, the Ksp of CuF2 is 1.6 × 10−6. Substituting this value of the Ksp into the equation and solving for x gives 1.6×10−6=0.040x x=4.0×10−5 M CuF2 Therefore, the concentration of a saturated solution of CuF2 in aqueous 0.20 M NaF is 4.0 × 10−5 M, which is less than its saturated concentration in pure water.

In the reaction between Ni and Br2: A.bromine forms a chelate with nickel. B.nickel undergoes an oxidation-reduction reaction with bromine. C.the reaction forms a precipitate of nickel(II) bromide. D.nickel and bromine participate in a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base neutralization.

The given reaction between Ni and Br2 is a combination reaction in which two reactants form a single ionic product, NiBr2. The assigned oxidation states for the elements in this reaction show that nickel goes from an oxidation state of zero in its elemental metal form to a state of +2 in the product (an oxidation), and bromine goes from an oxidation state of zero to a state of −1 (a reduction). Therefore, in addition to being a combination reaction, the reaction between Ni and Br2 is also an oxidation-reduction reaction. The reaction is not a chelate formation reaction because nickel(II) bromide is an ionic compound and does not have a ringed structure formed from pincer-like coordinate bonds between the metal and a ligand.

Assume that the pressure in a 1500 L monoplace chamber is increased from 1 ATA to 2 ATA. Which expression gives the number of moles of oxygen that is added to the chamber if the temperature remains constant at 27 °C? A.(4.5 × 105)R B.10/R C.5/R D.0.2R

The ideal gas law combines the relationships described by Boyle's law, Charles' law, and Avogadro's law into a single formula describing the behavior of an ideal gas under a given set of conditions. The ideal gas law relates pressure P (atm), volume V (L), n (moles), and temperature T (K) via the universal gas constant R, which equals 0.08206 L atm mol−1 K−1: PV=nRT This relationship provides a useful model to approximate the behavior of real gases. However, when doing calculations, it is important to keep the units of measurement consistent with those of R. In this question, the temperature of the monoplace chamber is given in degrees Celsius, but R is in terms of Kelvin, so the temperature must be converted to units of Kelvin: 27°C+273 K=300 K In addition, R is stated in terms of atm of pressure, but the question gives pressure in units of ATA (atmospheres absolute). According to the passage, 1 ATA equals 1 atm. The change in pressure is 2 ATA − 1 ATA = 1 ATA; therefore, this is equivalent to 1 atm.
