Test 1, C98

1. (5 points) Complete the s and p blocks of the attached blank periodic table.

2. (10 points) Using the first row as a model, complete the following table:
 
 
 
Formula Lewis Structure Total Number of resonance forms Number of electron groups around central atom electron group distribution molecular shape stereochemical drawing
SO2 3 3 trigonal planar bent
H3PO4 2 4 tetrahedral tetrahedral
SO2Cl2 4 4 tetrahedral tetrahedral
ClF3 1 5 trigonal bipyramid T-shaped
XeO2F2 4 5 trigonal bipyramid see-saw

 

 3. (5 points) Predict the form in which each cation will exist in aqueous solution of pH about 7.

Fe2+: Z2/r = 4/92 = 0.043. The cation is moderately acidic. It will exist as the neutral hydroxide, Fe(OH)2(H2O)4, which will precipitate as a solid.

As5+: Z2/r = 25/60 = 0.42. The cation is very strongly acidic. It will exist as the oxoacid (H3AsO4) or hydroxoanions (H2AsO4-, etc.).

S4+: Z2/r = = 16/51 = 0.31. The cation is very strongly acidic. It will exist as the oxoacid (H2SO3) or hydroxoanion (HSO3-).
