Replacement Exam (OPTIONAL): December 3 rd (same times/locations as other hour exams). This exam is all multiple choice questions. In recitation (November 15), you will indicate to your TA which exam you are trying to replace; you must confirm this selection via Blackboard no later than NOON, Tuesday, November 27. inal Exam: December 13 th (4:30-6:30pm). NOTE: There may be different room assignments for the inal Exam than for the Hour Exams.

You must use a #2 pencil and completely fill in the appropriate circles on the BLUE computer scan sheet. 1. 2.

2 Please read the following instructions carefully before proceeding! Part I of your exam will be computer graded. In order for the computer to identify who you are, it is important that you complete the information section properly. You must use a #2 pencil and completely fill in the appropriate circles on the BLUE computer scan sheet To help you code the correct circles, first write your last name, first name, and middle initial in the boxes (skip a space between each). Then darken the circles that match the letters in the box above it. See the sample to the right. Write the middle nine digits of your ISU identification number in the boxes A-I. Do not skip any spaces. Below each number, darken the circle that matches this number. or example, See the sample at bottom right. 3. Write your recitation section number in the special code area, boxes K-L, as two digits. Do not skip any spaces. or example, if you are in section 8, write 08. Again, darken the circle that matches the number above it. See the sample at bottom far right. In Part I, select the one best answer for each question. Place your answer on the computer answer sheet by darkening the proper circle for that question. Your computer scan sheet will be your official answer sheet for Part I. All material (exam, answer sheet, scratch paper) must be returned to your TA in order for us to grade your exam.

(a) (6 pts) Draw all relevant Lewis structures for the nitrite ion, NO 2, taking into account resonance and the octet rule). Be sure to show all lone pairs. # valence electrons = (5) + 2(6) + (1) = 18 e (9 pairs) 5 (b) (3 pts) or each atom in the nitrite ion, label (clearly) the formal charge (underneath the atom symbol in your Lewis structures). (c) (2 pts) What is the oxidation state of N in the nitrite ion? Ans. +3 (d) (4 pts) What is the molecular structure (shape) of the nitrite ion? Briefly explain your choice. BENT, there are 3 electron pair domains at N (1 lone pair, 1 single bond, 1 double bond). The lone pair repels the two bond-pair domains to create a bent-shaped molecule. (e) (2 pts) What is the average bond order of the N O bond in the nitrite ion? Explain your choice. Both N-O bonds are equivalent: (2 + 1) / 2 = 3/2 Ans. 3/2 = 1.5 (f) (4 pts) In the nitrous acid molecule, HNO 2, the hydrogen atom could be bonded to either the N atom or an O atom. Using your Lewis structures in part (a) above, draw a valid Lewis structure of HNO 2. In HNO 2, the H would behave like H + and, so, would be more attracted to O, the more electronegative element in nitrite (O also shows a 1 formal charge).
