Question 1 of 15 (worth 2 points)
The NaCl2 ionic salt does not exist. Which of the followingstatements best explains why?

A. Because the formation of Na2+ is an unfavorable process due tothe great amount of energy required to remove the 2nd electron fromthe Na atom (the 2nd electron would have to be removed from thecore electrons of the Na atom).
B. Because Cl2 has no charge and therefore would not be attractedelectrostatically to the positively charged Na2+ cation.
C. Because NaCl2 is actually a polyatomic ion with a -1 charge, andnot an ionic salt. In the presence of another Na+ ion, the Na2Cl2salt would form.
D. Because the Cl- anion is too large for there to be two of themattached to one Na+ ion.

Question 2 of 15 (worth 2 points)
Select the false statement below.

A. Fluorine has a greater first ionization energy than iodine, andthe reason for this is because fluorine has a greater amount ofshielding of outer electrons by inner electrons than doesiodine.
B. The following process is an endothermic process and representsthe first ionization energy of an atom A:
A(g) ? A1+(g) + e1-

C. Phosphorus has a greater first ionization energy than magnesium,and the reason for this is because P has a greater effectivenuclear charge (Zeff) than Mg.
D. The first ionization energy of an atom is smaller than thesecond ionization energy of the same atom.

Question 5 of 15 (worth 2 points)
A certain main-group element exhibits the following successiveionization energies in kJ/mol:

IE1 = 100; IE2 = 1200; IE3 = 2300; IE4 = 3100; IE5 = 4200

Select the false statement about this element below.

A. If this element is given a symbol of "J", it would form an ioniccompound with sulfur as J2S.
B. This element is typically found uncombined in nature (that is,it is not usually found in compounds, but rather as a freeelement).
C. This is likely a Group 1A element.
D. If this element was in period 2 of the periodic table, it wouldbe lithium.

Question 6 of 15 (worth 2 points)
Select the false statement below.

A. Generally speaking, as you go down a group in the periodictable, there is successively greater shielding of the outer-shellelectrons by the inner-shell electrons.
B. Generally speaking, non-metallic elements have greater effectivenuclear charge (Zeff) than metallic elements in the sameperiod.
C. Generally speaking, the heavier alkali metals can be predictedto exhibit greater shielding of the outer-shell electrons by theinner-shell electrons than lighter alkali metals.
D. Generally speaking, as you go across a period in the periodictable, the effective nuclear charge (Zeff) decreases because eachsuccessive element contains more protons in the nucleus than theprevious element and the outer electrons are all in the same shellas you go across a period.
