Multiple Choice Questions Each of the following multiple choice questions are worth 6 points. Your answers need to be filled in on the Scantron provided. Note: Your Scantrons will not be returned to you, therefore, for your records, you may want to mark your answers on this sheet. On the Scantron you need to fill in your perm number, test version, and name. Failure to do any of these things will result in the loss of 1 point. Your perm number is placed and bubbled in under the ID number. Do not skip boxes or put in a hyphen. In addition, leave bubbles blank under any unused boxes. The version number (A) is bubbled in under the test form. 1. Which of the following is polar? A) XeO 2 B) I 3 C) XeF 2 D) NON E) ICl 4 2. Which statement regarding water is true? A) Liquid water is less dense than solid water. B) Only covalent bonds are broken when ice melts. C) Hydrogen bonds are stronger than covalent bonds. D) Energy must be given off in order to break down the crystal lattice of ice to a liquid. E) All of these statements are false. 3. How many of the following molecules have all of their atoms in the same plane? H 2 C = CH 2 F 2 O H 2 CO NH 3 CO 2 BeCl 2 H 2 C=C=CH 2 A) 5 B) 3 C) 6 D) 4 E) None of the above 6
