Can someone please help with this Chemisty take home quiz ASAP!?
« on: December 22, 2008, 05:39:58 PM »
I solved a lot of it already, but these 6 problems here are very frustrating and making me confused! ???


__d__   2.   What type of orbital is designated n = 4, l = 3, ml = -3?
a.   4s
b.   4p
c.   4d
d.   4f
e.   none



__e__   11.   Hund's rule states that the most stable arrangement of electrons (for a ground state electron configuration)
a.   has a filled valence shell of electrons.
b.   has two electrons per orbital, each with identical spins.
c.   has ml values greater than or equal to zero.
d.   has the maximum number of unpaired electrons, all with the same spin.
e.   has two electrons per orbital, each with opposing spins.



__c__   12.   What is a possible set of quantum numbers for the unpaired electron in the orbital box diagram below? (^ = arrow pointing up, v = arrow pointing down)

        _________________    ___    __________
[Ar]   |^v|^v|^v|^v|^v|   |^v|   |^v|^v|^|
        ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯    ¯¯¯    ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
                    3d                 4s            4p

a.   n = 3, wavelength = 1, ml = -1, ms = +1/2
b.   n = 3, wavelength = 2, ml = -1, ms = -1/2
c.   n = 3, wavelength = 2, ml = -2, ms = +1/2
d.   n = 4, wavelength = 0, ml = 0, ms = +1/2
e.   n = 4, wavelength = 1, ml = -1, ms = +1/2



__b__ 15. Rank K, Li, and Cs in order of increasing first ionization energy.
a. K < Cs < Li
b. Cs < K < Li
c. Cs < Li < K
d. Li < Cs < K
e. Li < K < Cs



__a__ 17. Place the following ions in order from smallest to largest ionic radii: P3-, K+, Na+, and Cl-.
a. Na+ < K+ < Cl- < P3-
b. K+ < Na+ < Cl- < P3-
c. Cl- < P3- < Na+ < K+
d. Cl- < P3- < K+ < Na+
e. P3- < Cl- < K+ < Na+



__a__ 25. Predict which of the following compounds will have the most polar covalent bond(s).
a. HF
b. CBr4
c. H2S
d. NCl3
e. HI


Can someone please confirm whatever the answers that I put in are correct? and if not please solve the problems for me thanks!

d.   4f
 11.   Hund's rule states that the most stable arrangement of electrons (for a ground state electron configuration)
d.   has the maximum number of unpaired electrons, all with the same spin

 What is a possible set of quantum numbers for the unpaired electron in the orbital box diagram below? (^ = arrow pointing up, v = arrow pointing down)
