Document Summary

Chem 104a, fall 2016, midterm 1 key: construct a microstate table for a p4 configuration. Make sure to include the spin-orbit coupling quantum number, j. Then determine which of these states is the ground state. (15 pts) ms. that is a spin - . 5 pts for correct term symbols (-1 for each wrong term symbol) 3 pts for correct ground state: the following series of compounds have increasing dipole moments: Nf3 = 0. 23 d, pf3 = 1. 03 d, asf3 = 2. 57 d. provide at least two arguments to explain this trend. (10 pts) The difference in electronegativity between the two atoms increases with increasing dipole moment. The bond distances also increase with increasing dipole moment due larger atomic radii of the central atoms. As you go down the series there is less s-p mixing. The more acute bonds would then result in a higher dipole moment. 5 points for each argument: assign the point group of the molecules below.
