111. The number of dots in the Lewis dot for a main group element is the same as the  ___________   ___________.
  Ans: group number
  Difficulty:  Easy

 

112. ______________ is defined by the following equation

# of atoms ´ atomic mass of element     ´  100%

molecular or formula mass of compound

  Ans: percent by mass of an element
  Difficulty:  Medium

 

113. Atoms of elements with low ionization energies tend to form ____________ while those with positive electron affinities tend to form _________.
  Ans: cations; anions
  Difficulty:  Medium

 

114. Describe, with appropriate explanations, the key factors which affect the magnitude of the lattice energy of an ionic substance.
  Ans: By Coulomb’s law, the energy of two electrical charges is proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the distance separating them. If one approximates the lattice energy by considering only nearest neighbor interactions, the energy will be proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to their separation. Thus a lattice consisting of small ions with multiple charges will have the greatest (negative) lattice energy.
  Difficulty:  Medium

 

115. Describe the difference between an empirical formula and a molecular formula.
  Ans: An empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula that has the smallest possible whole number ratio of atoms in the formula and a molecular formula is the true formula of a molecule which is a whole number multiple of its empirical formula.
  Difficulty:  Easy
