DD Chem Ch 4
Here are some of the review questions from Chapter 4.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 2. What do we call the current model of the atom? | The Quantum Mechanical Model (or the Electron Cloud Model). |
| 3. When waves overlap so that their crests get higher and troughs get deeper, what is that called? | Constructive interference. |
| 4. When wave crests and troughs overlap to cancel each other out. | Destructive interference |
| 5. Fill in the blank: In order to come up with his model of the atom, Erwin Schrödinger analyzed the electrons as if they were _______. | waves. |
| 7. How many electrons can a single orbital hold? | A single orbital can hold a maximum of $2$ electrons (with opposite spins, according to the Pauli Exclusion Principle). |
| 15. What do we call the elements in Group 8A on the Periodic Table of Elements? | Noble gases |
| 20. Name three properties of metals, and compare them to the relevant properties of nonmetals. | "1. Electrical/Thermal Conductivity: Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity; nonmetals are poor conductors (insulators). 2. Malleability/Ductility: Metals are malleable (can be hammered into sheets) and ductile (drawn into wires); nonmetals are brittle when solid. 3. Luster: Metals have a shiny metallic luster; nonmetals are dull in appearance." |
| 23. Nitrogen and hydrogen react to form a compound. Is it an ionic compound? | No, it is NOT an ionic compound. (It forms a covalent compound, such as ammonia, because both nitrogen and hydrogen are nonmetals). |
| 21. What are the names of the compounds formed between the following elements? Rb and oxygen | a. Rubidium oxide |
| 16. Which of the following elements should have very similar chemical behaviors? Ca, Se, Al, Pb, In | Al (Aluminum) and In (Indium), because they are both in Group 3A (Group 13) and have the same number of valence electrons. |
| What are the names of the compounds formed between the following elements? Sr and sulfur | Strontium sulfide |
| What are the names of the compounds formed between the following elements? calcium and nitrogen | Calcium nitride |
| What are the names of the compounds formed between the following elements? magnesium and I | Magnesium iodide |
