This is technically an open ended question on the exam, but I've made it multiple choice for you here.
How can you figure this out you ask? Either look at what TYPE of elements are in the bond or look at their electronegativities
covalent
ionic
metallic
nonpolar
(don't pick this one, its usually just for two of the same element)
Look at Question 52 for this one. It uses the same picture.
There is an unequal distribution of charge
There is an equal distribution of charge
don't pick this, but think what the word POLAR means like in north and south polee
Don't pick this either, and if you see your class mate pick it to make me crazy stand on the table and tell me immediately
If you are comparing anything even if you don't know take the two things from the question and say something about them
the forward reaction is slower
the forward reaction is faster
the rates are the same
the reverse reaction is slower
Answer question 54.
Remember the reaction shifts AWAY from what you add. If you are guessing remember you can always guess increase, decrease, stay the same.
H2O increases
CO2 increases
H2O decreases
nothing happens
I feel like you should know this about chlorine. Technically you can also go find the melting and boiling point on Table S. Convert them to Celsius and then pretend you are Canadian and understand Celsius.

(seriously don't pick this for anything in chemistry)

Question 57 (There are a few ways to figure this out from the info given. Doesn't matter which way as long as you get the right answer.) Also the order of the elements doesn't matter
CHCl
C2H2Cl2
CHCl2
C2HCl
Question 58
Since it says answer in term of electrons you can NOT just say because its a metal and a nonmetal.
electrons were transferred
electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal
aalcium loses electrons, chlorine gains them
all of these are correct
because of the single bonds
because of the number of Carbons
because of the double bond
because of the triple bond

Identify the triad that contains a metalloid.

Explain, in terms of electrons, why the elements in triad 2 have similar chemical properties.
An atom of each of the elements has 2 valence electrons.
An atom of each element has the same number of valence electrons in their outmost shell.
Both of these are true.
Neither of these are true.
Compare the volume of a 100.-gram sample of the first element in triad 4 to the volume of a 100.-gram sample of the third element in triad 4 when both samples are at room temperature.
(Look at Table S to find the density to be able to do math to answer this.)
Li has a larger volume
K has a larger volume
Li and K have the same volume
This question is ridiculous and I refuse to answer it, forsaking all points and respect of my peers.
Show a numerical setup that demonstrates Dobereiner’s mathematical relationship for triad 2
I really don't think this is something we learn about. No joking, this is NOT in our list of things to learn.
The right answer:
40 + 137 / 2
State evidence from the equation that this reaction is exothermic.
The heat released by the reaction is represented on the right side of the equation.
The energy term appears on the product side of the equation.
Heat is released.
All of these are correct ways to phrase it.
Explain, in terms of substances in the reaction, why the equation represents a chemical change.
Different substances are formed
The products are different substances than the reactants
Both of those are correct
Neither of these are correct

12.01 / 31.01 x 100
72.066/162.1 x 100
12.01 / 162.1 x 100
Balance equation 1 in your answer booklet, using the smallest whole-number coefficients.

State the trend in first ionization energy as the elements in triad 3 are considered in order of increasing atomic number.

As the atomic number increases, the first ionization energy stays the same
This question is ridiculous and I refuse to answer it, forsaking all points and respect of my peers.
Explain, in terms of collision theory, why an increase in temperature increases the rate of reaction between methane gas and steam.
An increase in temperature causes a greater number of effective collisions between methane and water molecules to occur.
A greater number of collisions per second make the reaction rate faster
More molecules collide with sufficient energy
All are correct

Water has weaker intermolecular forces
Diethyl ether has stronger intermolecular forces
The two substances have the same intermolecular forces
Draw a structural formula for an isomer of the product that has the same functional group
This can't be a multiple choice. You just need to draw something with 4 carbons and one oxygen arranged differently from the picture.
