Question 1

What is the ground-state subshell electron configuration of the Cu+ ion (Z = 29)?

[Ar] 3d9 4s1 [Ar] 3d10 [Ar] 3d8 4s2 [Ar] 3d9 4s2

Correct Answer:

[Ar] 3d10

Question 2

The first four ionisation energies of an unknown Period 3 element X are 786, 1577, 3232, and 4356 kJ mol^-1, while its fifth ionisation energy jumps dramatically to 16,091 kJ mol^-1. Which element is X?

Aluminium (Al) Silicon (Si) Phosphorus (P) Sulfur (S)

Correct Answer:

Silicon (Si)

Question 3

What is the molecular geometry and formal lone pair count on the central xenon atom in xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4)?

Tetrahedral with 0 lone pairs Square planar with 2 lone pairs Seesaw with 1 lone pair Square pyramidal with 1 lone pair

Correct Answer:

Square planar with 2 lone pairs

Question 4

In sulfur tetrafluoride (SF4), where does the lone pair of electrons on the sulfur atom reside in the fundamental electron domain arrangement, and why?

Axial position, because axial positions provide 180° angles to equatorial bonds. Equatorial position, because equatorial placement experiences only two 90° repulsions instead of three. Axial position, because lone pairs prefer smaller bond angles to maximize s-character. Equatorial position, because equatorial positions have greater p-character and shorter bond lengths.

Correct Answer:

Equatorial position, because equatorial placement experiences only two 90° repulsions instead of three.

Question 5

Which statement accurately describes the geometry, bonding, and net dipole moment of the triiodide anion (I3-)?

Bent geometry, polar, net dipole moment > 0 Trigonal planar geometry, non-polar, net dipole moment = 0 Linear geometry, non-polar, net dipole moment = 0 T-shaped geometry, polar, net dipole moment > 0

Correct Answer:

Linear geometry, non-polar, net dipole moment = 0
