What will be the molecular geometry of a molecule that has four bonding pairs and two non-bonding pairs?
Octahedral
b. Square Pyramidal
Square Planar
d. Tetrahedral
These substances have low melting points like water and are pliable in their solid forms like plastic bags and
paraffin. Many, such as gasoline, vaporize readily. What are these substances?
a. ionic compounds
b. covalent compounds
c. acids
d. bases
3. What is the combination of two nonmetals likely to produce?
a. a base
b. an acid
c. a compound with ionic molecular structure
d. a compound with a covalent molecular structure
4. What bond is formed for the covalent compound that is shown below and how many lone pair(s) is(are)
present?
: N N:
c. The molecular geometry of HCl is bent which is similar to water, a widely known polar covalent bond.
d. Chlorine has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen and the attraction of chlorine atom is not enough to
remove the electron from hydrogen to form an ionic compound.

1. You are a chemist who is interested in the study of fatty acids to prevent circulatory and heart problems. As
you compare substances containing fatty acids, you spot a difference in their properties. The fats and the oil
for example are in solid and liquid state respectively at room temperature. How wouldyou explain this?
I.
Oils have higher melting points than fats.
II.
The number of double bonds between carbon atoms in the fatty acid greatly affects the melting point.
III.
Generally, a low melting point means plenty of CC double bonds and a high melting point means few
of those bonds.
a. I & II
b. I & III
c. II & III
d. I, II, & III
2. Suppose you are a doctor who needs to treat patients poisoned with morphinethe principal addictive
component in opium, and to detect addiction, what is the best thing you would do?
a. Allow the patient to take in acid in order to eliminate the morphine content of the body and to let the waste
be washed off by blood circulation.
b. Allow the patient to take in a basic drug to neutralize the morphine drug inside the body as it reacts to it in
order to form other safe compounds.
c. Allow the patient to take in a drug called naloxene to bind into receptor cite where molecules of certain size,
shape and bond polarities attach and fit itself in order to block the morphine.
d. Allow the patient to undergo operation wherein the morphine shall be delicately extracted using particular
covalent and ionic compounds to react to it and produce by-products that are easier to spot and remove.
3. Why cant a microwave oven cook without the presence of water?
a. The water has a bent molecular geometry that easily fits into the food receptor cites.
b. The electromagnetic field of the microwave interacts with the polar water molecules setting them into motion
which in turn produces heat.
c. The microwave will provide enough energy for the water molecules to vaporize that consequently release
heat energy that cooks the food.
d. The water is a polar covalent compound that easily boils as trigerred by the electromagnetic wave, causing a
faster heating reaction s to the food.
4. Why does our nose able to clasify little differences amongst odors?
a. The nose will send electrical signals to the brain basing on the different electrical conductivity of molecules.
b. The olfactory cells in the nose will interpret the kind of bond between atoms that suggests distiguishing
characteristics.
c. The nose has a receptory citecalled olfactory cellswherein certain molecular geometries would fit and be
interpreted by the brain as unique aroma.
d. The nose will interpret the bond length between atoms of a compound making a characteristic smell basing
on the distance of the nucei involved.
