CHE 211 Answers in BOLD RED EXAM 3 (Ch. 810) KEY On this masterybased exam, you must score at least a 70% to complete the exam. If your score is less than 70% you will have to do a retake of one or two chapters’ material (normally those on which you did worst). Any new points beyond what you score this time on those chapters will then be added to your score up to a maximum of 75%. Multiple Choice (3% each) and Problems (6 or 7% each, partial credit possible) grouped by chapter Please select the BEST answer to each multiplechoice question and mark it clearly on your answer sheet. Problems should be answered in the space immediately after each. SHOW ALL WORK (if any)! Thank you. CHAPTER 8 27 question points + 6 problem points = 33 points 1.

When two elements of unknown oxidation state react, we assign a negative oxidation state a. to the least electronegative b. to the more electronegative one c. to the later group member PROBLEM State the typical properties of an ionic substance and of a metal; then explain these using the nature of the bonding in each. In other words, use the differences in bonding of an ionic and a metallic substance to explain the normal properties of each type of material. Include their responses to a sharp hit with a hammer, their ability to conduct electricity or not, and their normal melting and boiling temperatures.

When because the lattice energy the ions will cause like‐ melted or dissolved in must be overcome to allow charged ions to come into water, ions can separate many movement of the contact, repel, and crack and become mobile, ions. apart. conducting charge. Dislocation of the metal cations is easy because the electron sea will simply ‘flow’ with them, allowing changes in shape Delocalized electrons can readily flow through the solid, making it conductive. Melting points are fairly high because the metal ions and electrons have a strong mutual attraction that must be overcome. Boiling points are VERY high because forces must be totally overcome to boil. CHAPTER 10 (MOLECULAR SHAPE) 27 question points + 6 problem points = 33 points 19.
