According to chemist John Dalton, if one mole of nitrogen is combined with three moles of hydrogen to form one mole of ammonia (knowing that nitrogen, with an atomic number of 7, has an atomic mass of 14, and hydrogen, with an atomic number of 1, has an atomic mass of 1), then this compound will have an atomic weight (or molecular mass) of:
14 grams per mole (14 daltons)
17 grams per mole (17 daltons)
20 grams per mole (20 daltons)
22 grams per mole (22 daltons)
43 grams per mole (43 daltons)
Atoms A and B interact to form a compound, AB2. When measured, atom A has a partial
negative charge and atom B has a partial positive charge. From this information, we can
conclude what? Select only ONE answer choice.
Note: - means "approximately equal to" , A > B means "A is greater than B" , and A B: AB2 is hydrophilic

Look up the valence electron configuration, covalent atomic radius, effective nuclear charge, first ionization energy and Pauling
electronegativity in Chapter 8 (tables are attached). Examine the above data and answer the following questions.
a) Explain why some of the elements like TI and Pb on the lower left of the p block are metallic.
b) Explain why some of the elements like C, Si in the center of the p block form covalent bonds. Explain why these bonds formed
by the network of these elements (as studied in Chapter 25) tend to be unreactive.
c) Explain why the noble Group 8A elements are highly unreactive gases.
d) Explain why some elements like F, CI, Br etc, on the upper right of the p block are highly reactive nonmetals.

In the periodic table of the elements, elements in a single column have the same number of electrons that can participate in a chemical reaction. These electrons are known as valence electrons.

- Another fossil-fuel gas used in cooking appliances is "propane", used commonly in backyard grills and RV/camping stoves. Propane is a bigger hydrocarbon: 3 carbons single-bonded in a chain, and the remaining bonds are taken by hydrogen. Its formula is C3H8 and its structure is shown below. KEY POINT: the products are the same as the combustion of methane, but more is produced. The graphic below shows that one propane molecule reacts with 5 oxygen molecules to form molecules of carbon dioxide.
