I’m not writing all this shit. Just write it and compare with the answer.
hint: when removing electrons, remove from the highest shell first e.g. the 4 shell
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d6

just look at the p-table

d. V
e. Fe^3+
V
Which of the following has the largest radius?
a. Be
b. Mg
c. Ca
d. Sr
e. Sr^2+
Sr
I think with Sr^2+ it has lost electrons and so there is more pull from the positive nucleus which would make it smaller
Which of the following has the highest 1st ionization energy?
hint: ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron
a. Be
b. Ca
c. Cs
d. C
e. Rb
C
all the others ‘want’ to lose electrons
Which of the following would be expected to behave chemically most similar to strontium?
a. Ar
b. Cl
c. Cs
d. Mg
e. Mn
Mg
Which of the following is the correct Lewis dot structure for ClO3- ?
refer to study guide for rules form Lewis dots
honestly, just look it up online and compare
2 of the oxygens have double bonds and there’s a lone pair on Cl
Which of the following structures has an atom(s) that violate(s) the octet rule?
I. BH3 II. SCl2 III. N2O
a. I
b. II
c. I and II
d. I, II, and III
I. only
it is very common for B to violate the octet rule
Which of the following has the most polar bond?
a. H-F
b. H-Cl
c. C-Br
d. H-Br
e. H-I
a. H-F
It’s all about the greatest difference in electronegativity. F has the highest electronegativity since electronegativity trends up and to the right.
Electronegativity is a measure of an atom’s ability to attract shared electrons towards itself when it’s in a chemical bond

If the volume of gas behaving ideally is 1.5L at a pressure of 300mmHg and a temp of 30 degrees C, what will it’s volume be at a pressure of 100mmHg and a temp of 15 degrees C ?
a. 0.3L
b. 2.8L
c. 4.3L
d. 9.0L
e. 12L
4.3L
P1V1 / n1T1 = P2V2 / n2T2
If an equal number of moles of N2, O2, Ar, and Ne are introduced into a balloon having a tiny leak, which of the following is true about the respective partial pressures of the gases in the balloon after 30 minutes?
hint: you don’t need the equation because they’re all equal number of moles. However, don’t forget the diatomics will have twice the weight of just their single atom
a. pN2 > pO2 > pAr > pNe
b. pAr > pO2 > pN2 > pNe
c. pAr > pNe > pN2 > pO2
d. pAr > pN2 > pO2 > pNe
e. pO2 > pN2 > pAr > pNe
b.
So basically the lighter gases escape first leaving more of the heavier gases present
Which of the following has the highest boiling point?
hint: greatest intermolecular foreces will have the highest boiling point
a. F2
b. Cl2
c. Br2
d. I2
e. He
I2
I think the only IMF’s at play here are London-dispersion which increase with greater molecular weight and surface area (not always the same thing)
So iodine is clearly the fattest of these
Which of the following compounds has the highest vapor pressure?
hint: highest vapor pressure = lowest attractive forves. Like: there’s less holding them together so they start floating up in the air
a. H2O
b. H2S
c. H2Se
d. H2Te
e. C6H12O6
H2S
H2O and C6H12O6 have hydrogen bonding so those are pretty strong
H2S (and this is what I don’t really get) is the most polar of the rest of the choices but has the smallest surface area (least London-dispersion forces) so that makes it have the lowest intermolecular forces overall
So I though LD forces were weak but also polar forces really don’t seem to count for shit
