CHEM 001A Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Molecular Orbital Theory, Trigonal Planar Molecular Geometry, Ionic Radius
Document Summary
15 multiple choice questions (6 points each; approximately half conceptual questions and half calculation based questions). 4 (ionic bonding: be able to predict the periodic trends (both across periods and down groups) for ionic radii, ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity. Lewis structures are possible for a molecule: be able to predict the shapes of molecular compounds using lewis structures and vsepr, and using electronegativity rules, be able to predict if molecules possess a net dipole. Note: for hybridization, you will be expected to predict/describe sp, sp2, and sp3 hybridization. You will not be given the following information: The common charges for group i and ii metals, aluminum, group 16 nonmetals, or group 17 nonmetals. The names/charges of the common polyatomic ions identified in the chapter 4 powerpoint slides. The mo diagrams for the first and second period diatomic molecules. The names of the geometries or shapes used in vsepr.
