-Significant figures and units will be graded throughout the exam.

 

 

1.       (2 pts each)  Beside each name below, given the most significant thing the person did for chemistry or what each theory/equation did for chemistry:  WRITE NEATLY

 

Neils Bohr (two things)

 

 

 

Edward Schrodinger

 

 

 

The orbital atomic model

 

 

 

 

(What two things are wrong with the orbital model?)

 

 

 

 

The quantum-mechanical atomic model

 

 

 

(What is the major limitation of the quantum-mechanical model?)

 

 

 

Lewis dot structures

 

 

 

VSEPR

 

 

 

(What does VSEPR stand for?)

 

 

 

Molecular orbital theory (two things)

 

 

 

Planck and Einstein (almost at the same time)

 

 

 

de Broglie

 

 

 

Heisenberg

 

 

 

2.       (10 pts) Using the Periodic table, draw arrows showing the direction of increasing ionization energy.

 

 

 

 

In the space provided below, explain each arrow using concepts from the quantum-mechanical atomic model.  Be concise (terse).

 

 

3.       (5 pts)  What is the origin of paramagnetic behavior in the elements?

 

 

4.       (5 pts)  Use quantum-mechanical atomic theory to explain why Ca prefers to NOT exist as a +1 or +3 cation.

 

 

5.       (15 pts)  These is a very real controversy over the storage of milk on the grocery shelve since electromagnetic radiation can destroy the very important vitamin D that is added to it.  The most likely bond to be broken is one of the many carbon-hydrogen bonds present in vitamin D.  After one of these bonds is broken the molecule further decomposes and decreases the nutrition value of the milk.  Calculate the wavelength of one mole of photons that would be necessary to break a C-H bond.  DH for a C-H bond is 414 kJ/mol.

 

 

6.       (5 pts) Comparing Cl2, Br2, and I2

 

Why is Cl2 as gas and I2 a solid at room temperature and pressure?

 

 

7.       (10 pts per compound)  Draw Lewis dot structures for the two compounds below and answer the following equations.

 

 

a)  Sulfate ion (SO42-)

 

Draw the Lewis Dot Structure:

 

 

Draw all resonance structures and label each atom in each structure with formal charges:

 

 

What is the hybridization of the central atom?

 

 

b) Ozone, O3

 

Draw the Lewis Dot Structure:

 

 

Draw all resonance structures and label each atom in each structure with formal charges:

 

 

Draw the resonance hybrid for ozone.

 

 

What is the hybridization of the central atom?

 

 

8.       (4 pts)  The stratospheric ozone layer can be destroyed by a number of chemicals.  One of these is methyl bromide (with a chemical bond energy of kJ/mol).  Methyl iodide (with a bond energy of kJ/mol) has been recently approved as a replacement with experiment data suggesting that less CH3I will make it to the stratosphere for O3 destruction.  Formulate a hypothesis explaining the experimental observation based on your understanding of Periodic trends and bond energies (and you should not need a Periodic table or bond energies to solve this).

 

 

9.       (3.3 pts each) in three parts:

 

Draw the Lewis dot structure for a water molecule and show the direction of the dipole.

 

 

What type of intramolecular bond holes the water molecule together?

 

 

What type of intermolecular force (bonds) holds many water molecules together in the liquid form?

 

 

Bonus:  (5 pts)  Draw the ÒHoly GrailÓ figure showing why human caused global warming is real.  What is the key to understanding why global warming is human caused (point to this in your graph)?
