Q

Use MO diagrams to explain the trend in the following bond energies:
B2= 290 KJ/mol
C2 = 600 KJ/mol
N2 = 942 KJ/mol

A

B2 bond order = 1
C2 bond order = 2
N2 bond order = 3

bond order increases as energy increases

Q

The first ionization energy of NO is 891 KJ/mol, that of N2 is 1500 KJ/mol and that of CO is 1350 KJ/mol. Use MO electron configurations to explain why NO ionizes more easily than either N2 or CO.

A

NO ionizes more easily because removing an electron from an antibond makes the molecule more stable. N2 and CO would be unstabilized if an electron were to be removed.

Q

Electrical eye door openers use photoconductors that respond to infrared light with a wavelength of 1.5 um. Which is suitable for photoconductors operating at this wavelength, germanium (Eg=64 kJ/mol) or silicon (Eg= 105 kJ/mol)

A

E= nhc/landa
= 80000 J/mol or 80kJ

germanium has enough energy
silicon not enough energy

Q

Conductor vs semiconductor vs insulator

A

conductor: no band gap, electrons easily promoted to conduction band to conduct electricity
semiconductor: small band gap where electrons can gain enough energy to be promoted into the conduction band to conduct electricity
insulator: does not conduct electricity due to huge band gap where too much energy is required for electrons to be promoted to the conduction band

Q

The conductivity of intrinsic semiconductors, such as silicon and germanium, can be increased when small amounts of group 3A or group 5A elements are added, a process called dping. The resulting semiconductors are called either p-type or n-type semiconductors. Classify Ge doped with Ga and Si doped with P.

A

p-type: Ge doped with Ga
Ge has one more electron than Ga, making Ga more positive

n-type: Si doped with P
* Si has one less electron than P, making P more negative*

Q

Which of the following solid compounds will have the band structure represented in the right? Black represents electron population, and the energy of the band group corresponds to the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

a) InSb
b) silicon doped with 0.3% by mass arsenic
c) silicon doped with 0.2% by mass aluminum
d) NaCl doped with sulphur anions
e) zinc

A
  • since valence electrons are not completely filled, there is an empty space, this is a positive doping, meaning group 3A will be involved. If it were negative, group 5A would be involved*
    c) silicon doped with 0.2% by mass aluminum

Q

Phosgene is a colourless and highly toxic gas with formula CCl2O. What is the hybridization state of the carbon atom?

a) sp
b) sp2
c) sp3
d) sp3d
e) sp3d2

A

b) sp2

Q

If an unknown element X makes 3 sigma bonds and one pi bond to three other atoms and X possesses a lone pair of electrons with zero formal charge in its best lewis structure, what group of the periodic table is X from?

a) 3
b) 4
c) 5
d) 6
e) 7

A

group 6A due to X having 6 valence electrons
