II. (17) Short Answers

1. Fluorine, F, has one bonding and ____6__ nonbonding electrons.

2. The readout of your calculator, digital clock or CD player consists of molecules called __liquid crystals______.

3. (4) An unknown substance has these properties  Freezing Point = -5.7 oC  Boiling Point = 125 oC.  It does not conduct electricity.  When it burns in oxygen, the only products are carbon dioxide and water.

True or False?

__T___a. At - 25 oC, this substance is a solid.

___F__b. When burned, one molecule of the substance produces 3 molecules of carbon dioxide. Then, each molecule of the unknown has 6 carbon atoms.

4. (3) The symbol 59Co has _27___ protons, __27___ electrons and ____32_ neutrons. Co has Z = 27 = # protons and + electrons. It also has (59-27) = 32 neutrons.

5. A Group VIIA element has __7____ valence electrons and is a [metal, nonmetal, metalloid].

3 6. Density has units of _ mass/volume, g/mL, kg/L, etc__. (several answers are possible)

7. The forces that prevent electrons from flying off an atom and the forces that cause chemical bonding are called __electrostatic______forces.

III. (9) Problems

1. (4) In the Super Bowl game, a Pittsburgh Steeler player ran 75 yards. How many km is this distance? Express your answer in scientific notation. [1 yd = 3 ft, 1 ft = 12 in, 1 in = 2.54 cm]

75 yd x (3 ft/1 yd) x (12 in/1 ft) x (2.54 cm/1 in) x (1 m/100 cm) x (1 km/1000 m) = 6.86E-2 km

2. (3) Balance this chemical equation

_2____Al + __6___HCl  __2___AlCl3 + __3___H2

3. (2) Use the shorthand notation 2, 8, 18 for the electron shells to write the shorthand notation for the electron configuration in S? S has 16 electrons so the shorthand notation is 2, 8, 6

Extra Credit: How many μg are there in 2.54 pounds? (1 lb = 454 g)

2.54 lb x (454 g/1 lb) x (1 μg/1E-6 g) = 1.15E+9 μg
