Summary Questions and Answers
1: What is the electron configuration of a neutral chlorine atom? --- correct answer ---
The electron configuration of a neutral chlorine atom is 1s² 2s² 2p? 3s² 3p?.
2: How many moles of oxygen gas are needed to completely react with 4 moles of hydrogen
gas to form water?--- correct answer ---
2 moles of oxygen gas are needed to completely react with 4 moles of hydrogen gas to form
water.
3: Define the term isotope.--- correct answer ---
An isotope is a variant of a chemical element that has the same number of protons but a
different number of neutrons in the nucleus, resulting in a different atomic mass.
4: What is the principle behind the Aufbau principle in electron configuration?--- correct
answer --- The Aufbau principle states that electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest
available energy levels before occupying higher levels.
5: What is the molecular geometry of a water molecule?--- correct answer ---
,The molecular geometry of a water molecule is bent or V-shaped.
6: Explain the concept of electronegativity.--- correct answer ---
Electronegativity is the measure of an atoms ability to attract and hold onto electrons within a
chemical bond.
7: What is the standard enthalpy change of formation for an element in its standard state?---
correct answer ---
The standard enthalpy change of formation for an element in its standard state is zero.
8: Describe what a catalyst does in a chemical reaction.--- correct answer ---
A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the
reaction to proceed without being consumed in the process.
9: What is the pH of a neutral solution at 25°C?--- correct answer --- The pH of a neutral
solution at 25°C is 7.
10: Explain the difference between ionic and covalent bonds.--- correct answer ---
Ionic bonds are formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting
in the formation of positive and negative ions. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms
share one or more pairs of electrons.
11: What is the law of conservation of mass?--- correct answer ---
The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a
chemical reaction; it is conserved.
, 12: How does temperature affect the rate of a chemical reaction?--- correct answer ---
Increasing temperature generally increases the rate of a chemical reaction because it increases
the kinetic energy of the molecules, leading to more frequent and energetic collisions.
13: What is Avogadros number and what does it represent?--- correct answer ---
Avogadros number is 6.022 x 10²³, and it represents the number of atoms, ions, or molecules
in one mole of a substance.
14: Define the term molarity.--- correct answer ---
Molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution, expressed as the number
of moles of solute per liter of solution.
15: What is the main concept of Le Chateliers principle?--- correct answer ---
Le Chateliers principle states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the
conditions, the system responds by adjusting the equilibrium position to counteract the
disturbance.
16: What are the products of the combustion of a hydrocarbon?--- correct answer ---
The products of the combustion of a hydrocarbon are carbon dioxide and water.
17: How are sigma and pi bonds different?--- correct answer ---
Sigma bonds are formed by the direct overlap of orbitals along the axis connecting two
nuclei, while pi bonds are formed by the side-to-side overlap of orbitals above and below this
axis.
18: What is the significance of the periodic tables group numbers?--- correct answer ---
