CHEM Test 4 (12th) 21-22

Ground state is defined as

• The electronic configuration of an element to become eligible for a chemical bond

• The electronic configuration of an element which is not forming any chemical bonds

• none of the above

To form a chemical bond, the most external layer must have paired e^-

• True

• False

To form unpaired e^-, some e^- must be transferred from other neighbouring orbitals

• True

• False

Exited state is defined as

• The electronic configuration of an element which is not forming any chemical bonds

• The electronic configuration of an element to become eligible for a chemical bond

• None of the above

When two or more orbitals are joined together they are known as

• Mixed orbitals

• Double orbitals

• Hybrid orbitals

If a 3s orbital is hybridized with a 3p orbital then

• the new hybrid orbital will have lower energy than the 3s orbital

• the new hybrid orbital will have higer energy than the 3p orbital

• the new hybrid orbital will have an energy level between a 3s and a 3p orbital

The point of forming chemical bonds is to get less estability in the new compound

• True

• False

What do you think happens with the p orbitals of noble gases?
