Which question would most accurately assess the relationship between electron domain geometry and observed dipole moments in heteronuclear diatomic molecules?
Does an increase in covalent character lead to higher electrical conductivity in metalloid compounds compared to their non-metal counterparts?
What is the correlation between atomic radius size differences and potential energy within a set of binary compounds?
How do variations in electron domain geometries affect dipole moments across a series of heteronuclear diatomic molecules with differing electronegativities?
Can we associate changes in ionization energy with alterations in metallic character down a group on the periodic table for diatomic species?
What is the molecular geometry of H₂O?
Bent
Tetrahedral
Trigonal planar
Linear
Which molecule would most effectively hydrate in water based on interactions between permanent dipole and permanent dipole forces?
NOCl, as it has a permanent dipole but less capacity for hydrogen bonding compared to acetic acid
Carbon monoxide, although it contains a triple-bonded oxygen atom, does not readily participate in substantial dipole-dipole interactions with water due to overall nonpolarity
NH4Cl, despite being highly soluble due primarily to strong coulombic attractions rather than extensive hydrogen bond networks
Acetic acid (CH3COOH), due to both hydroxyl and carbonyl groups that enable it to form multiple hydrogen bonds with water
What is the hybridization of the central atom in CO3^2- if it has an electron geometry of trigonal planar?
sp^2 hybridized orbitals
sp^3d hybridized orbitals
sp hybridized orbitals
sp^3 hybridized orbitals

What is the molecular geometry of HCN?
Bent

How would decreasing pressure by increasing volume affect a system at equilibrium that involves gaseous species with more moles on the product side?
There is no effect on equilibrium since temperature remains constant.
The rate constants for both forward and reverse reactions decrease proportionally.
The equilibrium shifts toward products, resulting in decreased total gas volume.
The equilibrium shifts toward reactants to increase pressure according to Le Chatelier's principle.
