Chem 162 Midterm Exam 2 Questions
and Answers
Isomer - ANS-each of two or more compounds with the same formula but a different
arrangement of atoms in the molecule and different properties.
metals often react with strong acids to generate ____ - ANS-metals often react with
strong acids to generate H2
Ionic Crystalline Solids - ANS-Strong Electrostatic Attraction
High Melting Point
Hard
Brittle
Insulator
Soluble
Molecular Crystalline Solids - ANS-Weak Intermolecular Forces (<100kJ/mol)
Low Melting Point and Boiling Point
Fairly Soft
Insulator
Soluble
Non-Metal Atoms - ANS-Covalent Bonds
High Melting Point
Hard
Brittle
Insulator/Semiconductor/Conductor
, Metal Atoms - ANS-Metallic Bonds
Low to High Melting Point
Very High Boiling Point
Soft to Hard
Malleable
Conductor
Atomic Orbital - ANS-regions of space around the nucleus of an atom where an electron
is likely to be found (single, double, triple bonds & lone pairs)
Bonding in Metals (AO, MO, Energy Gap, Density) - ANS-↑ AO
↑ MO
↓ Energy Gap
↑Density
What causes a Decrease in Enthalpy? - ANS-Non-polar species going into water --
because non-polar species don't have a way to interact with water.
Small, highly-charged ions -- because there is a high charge density
Always Spontaneous - ANS--ΔH
+ΔS
Spontaneous at Low Temperature - ANS--ΔH
-ΔS
Spontaneous at High Temperature - ANS-+ΔH
+ΔS
Spontaneous at Reverse - ANS-+ΔH
-ΔS
