Chemistry Test 1

QuestionAnswer
The wave model of light does not explain the photoelectric effect
A line spectrum is produced when an electron moves from one energy level to a lower energy level
Because excited hydrogen atoms always produce the same line-emission spectrum, scientists concluded that hydrogen released photons of only certain energies
For an electron in an atom to change from the ground state to an excited state, energy must be absorbed
According to the Bohr model of the atom, the single electron of a hydrogen atom circles the nucleus in specific allowed orbits
The change of an atom from an excited state to the ground state always requires emission of electromagnetic radiation
The region outside the nucleus where and electron can most probably be found is the electron cloud
The size and shape of an electron cloud are most closely related to the electron's energy
The spin quantum number indicates that the number of possible spin states for an electron in an orbital is 2
The set of orbitals that are dumbbell shaped and directed along the x,y, and z axes are called p orbitals
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus would best represent an s orbital
The major difference between a 1s orbital and a 2s orbital is that the 2s orbital is at a higher energy level
The letter designations for the first four sublevels with the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in each sublevel are s:2, p:6, d:10, f:14
The number of possible different orbital shapes for the third energy level is 3
The number of orbitals for the d sublevel is 5
For the f sublevel, the number of orbitals is 7
The total number of orbitals that can exist at the second main energy level is 4
How many orbitals can exist at the third main energy level? 9
How many electrons are needed to completely fill the fourth energy level 32
If the third energy level contains 15 electrons, how many more could it possible hold? 3
The statement that no two electrons in the same atom can have the same four quantum number is the Pauli exclusion principle
Two electrons in the 1s orbital must have different spin quantum numbers to satisfy the Pauli exclusion principle
The Aufbau principle states that an electron must be added to elements and ions in a very specific order
The atomic sublevel with the next highest energy after 4p is 5s
What lists atomic orbitals in the correct order they are filled according to the Aufbau principle? 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s
The electron notation for aluminum (atomic number 13) is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^1
The number of electrons in the highest energy level of the argon atom (atomic number 18) is 8
The atomic number of lithium, the first element in Group 1, is 3. The atomic number of the second element in this group is 11
How much greater is the atomic number of the fourth element in groups 1,2, and 18 than the preceding element? 18
Krypton, atomic number 36, is the fourth element in Group 18. What is the atomic number of xenon, the fifth element in Group 18? 54
Barium, atomic number 36, is the fifth element in Group 2. What is the atomic number of radium, the next element in Group 2? 88
For elements in groups 1,2, and 18, the increase in atomic number for successive elements follows the pattern 8,8,18,___,32. What number completes the pattern? 18
The electron configuration of cesium, atomic number 55, is [Xe] 6s^1. In what period is cesium? 6
Period 4 contains 18 elements. How many of these elements have electrons in the d sublevel? 16
For groups 13 through 18, the total number of electrons in the highest occupied level equals the group number minus 10
Which block in the periodic table contains the alkali metals? S
Compared to alkali metals, the alkaline-earth metals are less reactive
A measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons from another atom in the compound is called electronegativity
One-half the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms that are bonded together is called the atomic radius
What is removed when the ionization energy is supplied to an atom of an element? an electron
When an electron is acquired by a neutral atom, the energy change is called electron affinity
The element that has the greatest electronegativity is fluorine
In a row in the periodic table, as the atomic number increases, the atomic radius generally decreases
Within a group of elements, as the atomic number increases, the atomic radius increases
In the alkaline-earth group, atoms with the smallest radii have the highest ionization energies
As you move down Group 14 in the periodic table from carbon through lead, atomic radii generally increase
As you move from left to right in Period 4 from gallium through bromine, atomic radii generally decrease
The electrons available to be lost, gained, or shared when atoms form compounds are called valence electrons
Across a period, ionization energies of d-block elements generally increase
Which groups in the main group have lower electronegativity than d-block elements? groups 1 and 2
A bond that is less than 5% ionic is considered nonpolar covalent
The pair of elements that forms a bond with the least ionic character is Mg and Cl
The B-F bond in BF3 (electronegativity for B is 2.0; electronegativity for F is 4.0) is ionic
What shows the types and numbers of atoms joined in a single molecule of a molecular compound? molecular formula
The electron configuration of nitrogen is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^3. How many more electrons does nitrogen need to satisfy the octet rule? 3
Multiple covalent bonds may occur in atoms that contain carbon, nitrogen, or oxygen
The substance whose Lewis structure shows three covalent bonds is NH3
Compared with energies of neutral atoms, a crystal lattice has lower potential energy
Compared with ionic compounds, molecular compounds have lower melting points
How many extra electrons are in the Lewis structure of the phosphate ion, PO4^3- 3
Compared with nonmetals, the number of valence electrons in metals is generally smaller
