1. Which of the following best describes the octet rule?
2. 2.At STP, fluorine is a gas and bromine is a liquid because, compared to fluorine, bromine has:
3. Silicon nitride is a very hard, high-temperature-resistant
ceramic used as a component of turbine blades in jet engines. It is prepared according to the following
equation:
3Si (s) + 2N2 (g) →Si3N4 (s)
When this reaction is carried
out in the atmosphere with 2.000 g Si, what is the reaction yield if we obtain 2.750 g of Si3N4?
Atomic
weights (g/mol): Si 28.085, N 14.007
4. Ammonia (NH3) acts as a weak base in aqueous solution. What is the acid that reacts with this base when ammonia is dissolved in water?
5. The teeth are the hardest substances in the human body.
Besides being essential for chewing, the teeth play an important role in speech. The uppermost part of the
teeth is enamel; measuring 4–8 μm in diameter, formally called an enamel prism, is a tightly packed mass of
hydroxyapatite crystals Ca5(PO4)3(OH) in an organized pattern. From an
electrostatic interaction perspective, which structure would you expect to form among different atoms or groups
of atoms, Ca2+, PO43-, and OH-?
