- 2.
Elements in the same column have similar electronic and chemical properties.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because elements in the same column of the periodic table, also known as groups or families, have the same number of valence electrons. This similarity in electronic configuration results in similar chemical properties among these elements. The valence electrons determine the reactivity and bonding behavior of an element, so elements in the same column tend to have similar reactivity and form similar types of compounds.Rate this question:

Bonding is a favorable process because it always leads to higher energy and increased stability.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Bonding is a favorable process because it leads to lower energy and increased stability. When atoms bond together, they form more stable arrangements by filling their outer electron shells. This results in a decrease in potential energy and an increase in stability. Therefore, the statement that bonding always leads to higher energy and increased stability is incorrect.Rate this question:

Which one of the following are covalent bonds.
-
NaCl
-
H2O
-
CO
-
CH3CH3
-
AgO3
Correct Answer(s)
A. H2O
A. CO
A. CH3CH3Explanation
The covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share electrons. In the given options, H2O (water), CO (carbon monoxide), and CH3CH3 (ethane) have covalent bonds because they involve the sharing of electrons between the atoms. NaCl (sodium chloride) and AgO3 (silver trioxide) do not have covalent bonds as they involve the transfer of electrons, resulting in ionic bonding.Rate this question:

What are the average bond angles in CH4?
-
120 degrees
-
60 degrees
-
109.5 degrees
-
120.5 degrees
-
45.5 degrees
Correct Answer
A. 109.5 degreesExplanation
The correct answer is 109.5 degrees because in a methane molecule (CH4), the carbon atom is at the center and the four hydrogen atoms are arranged in a tetrahedral shape around it. In a tetrahedral shape, the bond angles between the carbon and hydrogen atoms are all equal and are approximately 109.5 degrees.Rate this question:

An sp3 has a % s - character of?
-
33%
-
18%
-
53%
-
25%
-
42%
Correct Answer
A. 25%Explanation
An sp3 hybrid orbital is formed by the combination of one s orbital and three p orbitals. The s orbital contributes 25% to the sp3 hybrid orbital, while each of the three p orbitals contributes 75% (25% each). Therefore, the correct answer is 25% for the s-character of an sp3 hybrid orbital.Rate this question:
