GWHS Unit 2 Problem Set

Unit 2 Problem Set 

This is just a study guide to help you think about the concepts we covered in this unit, but study guides do not always cover or review everything. Here's some things you can do to prepare for the Unit 2 Exam:

1) Make sure you can explain each of your answers to this Problem Set. Do you understand the concept or did you just memorize arithmatic?

2) Complete the Unit 2 Progress Check (MC & FRQ) on AP Classroom.

3) Review your notes. We covered the following topics this unit:

- Potential Energy Diagrams 
- Lewis Electron Dot Structures 
- VSEPR (Molecule Shapes)
- Resonance 
- Formal Charge 
- Hybridization 
- Sigma/Pi bonds 
- Polarity 
- Lattice Energy 
- Alloys 

The hardest part of AP exams is that you have to think flexibly. If you truly understand a topic, you can answer a question no matter how it is presented.

1

On the bond energy diagram determine the:
1) bond length
2) amount of energy that was released when the bond formed.
3) amount of energy absorbed when the bond broke.
4) point where there is no attraction or repulsion.

1

The potential energy diagram is given for a C≡O. A student clains that the curve for a C-O would be less deep and that it would be shift to the right of the curve for C≡O. Do you agree with this claim? Explain why or why not.

1

Rank each compound from weakest bond strength to strongest bond strength. (weakest is ranked first)
