Question 1
2 out of 2 points

A single atom of lithium can combine with a single atom of iodine to create electron energy
stability for both atoms.
Selected Answer:

TRUE
Correct Answer:

TRUE
Response Hydrogen would share its single electron with chlorine. In return, chlorine would
Feedback: share its one unpaired valence electron with hydrogen. The hydrogen atom

would then have its needed two electrons to be stable. Chlorine would then
have its needed octet to be stable.

Question 2
3 out of 3 points

which of the following elements?
Selected Answer:

sodium
Correct Answer:

sodium

atom.

Question 4
3 out of 3 points

Which of the following possesses an ionic bond?

Selected Answer:

LiF
Correct Answer:

LiF

2-

numerals in the name where alkaline earth metals are involved, only transition
metals (whose positive charge may be 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.).

Question 7
2 out of 2 points

The chemical formula for potassium acetate is P(C2H3O2)3.

formula KC2H3O2

Question 8
3 out of 3 points

The chemical formula for potassium perchlorate is:

Selected Answer:

KClO4
Correct Answer:

KClO4
Response
Feedback:

The prefix per- and the suffix -ate suggest a polyatomic anion with the
greatest number of oxygen atoms. This anion would need to be paired with a
cation (metal).

Selected Answer:

TRUE
Correct Answer:

TRUE
Response Feedback:

Ionic compounds have very high melting and boiling points.

Question 10
3 out of 3 points

Question 11
2 out of 2 points

A covalent bond exists when the electronegativity difference between two atoms is small
or zero.
Selected Answer:

TRUE
Correct Answer:

TRUE
Response
Feedback:

atoms, the bond exhibits equal sharing of electrons between atoms.

Question 12
3 out of 3 points

Which of the following represents a purely covalent bond?

Selected Answer:

NN
Correct Answer:

NN
Response When the electronegativity difference between two atoms is zero, the bond is

Selected Answer:

TRUE
Correct Answer:

TRUE

Due to the two lone pairs located on the central chlorine atom, an unequal
distribution of electrons will exist.

Response
Feedback:

Question 29
3 out of 3 points

Which of the following molecules is nonpolar?

Selected Answer:

Correct Answer:

Response Due to the nitrogen being bonded to the same atom, the electronegativity
Feedback: difference is the same around the nitrogen, with those three polar bonds being

directed to the corners of a triangle. Thus, they cancel each other out and the
molecule is nonpolar.

Question 30
2 out of 2 points

It is possible for molecules to exhibit more than one type of intermolecular force.
Selected Answer:

TRUE
Correct Answer:

TRUE
Response Molecules can possess more than one type of intermolecular force. For example,
Feedback: dipole-dipole bonds occur for both H2O and H2S molecules, though they are not

the main reason why H2O boils at a higher temperature than H2S. In these
molecules, dipole-dipole bonds represent only a small part of the total
interaction between the molecules.

Question 31
3 out of 3 points

What is the main type of intermolecular force exhibited in liquid C 2H6?

Selected Answer:

London dispersion force

Correct Answer:

London dispersion force

Response The main type in this molecule is London dispersion; the molecule is nonpolar
Feedback: and possesses an even distribution of electrons. Because of this, the only force

that can exist between two neighboring nonpolar molecules is due to the
temporary dispersion of the electron clouds of two neighboring molecules.

Question 32
2 out of 2 points

Oxygen and fluorine exist as gases at room temperature (O2 and F2) due to their lack of
strong intermolecular bonding.
Selected Answer:

TRUE
Correct Answer:

TRUE
Response Oxygen and fluorine exist as diatomic gases at room temperature because they
Feedback: possess only London dispersion forces. With a small number of electrons

present, there is not enough of a London dispersion attractive force to keep

them in a solid or liquid phase at room temperature (they have relatively low
boiling points).

Question 33
3 out of 3 points

Which of the following solids would melt at the highest temperature?

Selected Answer:

C8H18
Correct Answer:

C8H18
Response All of the compounds listed contain only London dispersion forces.
Feedback: Consequently, in order to determine which compound would have the highest

melting point, identify the total number of electrons in a molecule of each

compound. The higher the number of electrons, the greater the London
dispersion attractive force and the higher the melting point.
