Molecular and Ionic Bonding
What is observed when potassium iodide solution is mixed with lead(II) nitrate solution?
The mixture turns pink indicating no reaction takes place between them.
A blue precipitate forms indicating the formation of copper iodide complexes.
Gas bubbles are produced signifying a strong exothermic reaction has occurred.
A yellow precipitate of lead(II) iodide is formed due to a double replacement reaction.
If the concentration of reactants in a reaction at equilibrium is doubled, what effect does this have on the rate of the forward reaction?
It increases because there are more reactant molecules to collide with proper orientation.
It decreases due to an increase in activation energy required for the reaction.
It remains the same as rates are independent of concentrations at equilibrium.
It halves because doubling reactant concentration drives the equilibrium towards products.

Which of the following best explains why graphite conducts electricity but diamond does not, considering both are allotropes of carbon?
Graphite's more rigid lattice structure hinders electron mobility compared to diamond.
Graphite has delocalized electrons that can move freely between layers, while diamond does not.
Diamond forms an ionic lattice which is less conductive than the covalent network in graphite.
Diamond has a higher electron affinity than graphite, restricting electron flow.
Which of the following compounds would increase the conductivity of water when dissolved due to ionization?
CH4 (methane)
C12H22O11 (sucrose)
NaCl
C2H5OH (ethanol)
In terms of electronegativity difference and potential energy diagrams, which type of chemical bond is most likely to form between two fluorine atoms?
A nonpolar covalent bond due to equal sharing of electrons between atoms with identical electronegativity
A metallic bond where valence electrons create a sea around positive ions within the lattice
A polar covalent bond due to slightly unequal sharing based on differing environments around each atom
An ionic bond as one fluorine atom donates an electron to another fluorine atom
