10. Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Electron affinity is the energy
released when an atom accepts an electron.
11. The smaller the atomic radius, the stronger the nucleus holds its electrons and the harder it is to remove an
electron. The harder it is to remove an electron, the higher the first ionization energy.
12. element Z
13. They are both dependent on the same thing, atomic radius. When the atomic radius is small, it is more
difficult to remove an electron, so ionization energy is high. At the same time, it is easier for the atom to
accept another electron, so it releases energy when an electron is added and electron affinity is high.

and aqueous states.

17. Substance IV is most likely to be an ionic compound because its high solution conductivity indicates that
ions are present in the solution.
18. Atoms are more stable when they have eight valence electrons. Nonmetals will try to gain electrons to form a
stable octet and metals will try to give away electrons to form a stable octet. Thus, metals give electrons to
nonmetals. Subsequently, the two oppositely charged ions are attracted to one another.
19. Calcium forms an ion with a 2+ charge and chlorine forms an ion with a 1– charge. This means that the
smallest unit with a zero charge would require one calcium ion and two chloride ions.

21. 2AlCl3(aq) + 3Na2CO3(aq) Al2(CO3)3(s) + 6NaCl(aq)

22. CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

24.

Since there are four oxygen atoms in each unit of potassium sulfate, there are 4.2 × 1024 atoms of oxygen
present.

The mass of 0.227 mol of K2SO4 is 39.6 g.

27.

There are five empirical formula units in 425.0 g of SiF3.

28. Water is a polar molecule because it has a slightly positive and negative end. The oxygen atom is negative
because it has a greater electronegativity (a stronger ability to attract electrons) than the hydrogen atoms do.
The oxygen pulls the shared electrons closer to itself, making it more negative and the hydrogen more
positive.
29. (a) BaCl2(aq) + K2SO4(aq) → BaSO4(s) + 2KCl(aq)
(b) Ba2+(aq) + 2Cl–(aq) + 2K+(aq) + SO42– (aq) → BaSO4 (s) + 2K+(aq) + 2Cl–(aq)
(c) Ba2+(aq) + SO42– (aq) → BaSO4(s)
30. Gas particles are relatively far apart compared to their size. Solids have particles that are very close to each
other, while liquids have small spaces between particles. To compress a substance, the particles must be
brought closer together. Since gas particles are far apart, their total occupied volume can be easily changed
by applying a force such as increasing the pressure or decreasing the temperature.
31. At STP, 1 mol of CO occupies a volume of 22.4 L.
The molar mass of CO is 28.0 g.

The density of CO is .

Since the density of CO is greater, it will sink to the bottom of the room it is found in.

37. We can determine the number of moles of chlorine needed to react completely with 15.9 g of Na.

mole ratio: Na:Cl2 = 2:1

More chlorine is available than is required, therefore, chlorine is in excess. The sodium is the limiting
reagent.
