    8. (a) (ii) is wrong because the 2s electrons have identicaladdresses, i.e. all four quantum numbers the samefor both.or Electrons cannot have parallel spin in the sameorbital. (1)This violates Paulis exclusion principle. (1)

    (c) (i) The Group 1 metal has the largest radius in that periodand has the smallest nuclear charge in that period.Both facts lead to a lesser attraction for theoutermost electron. 1

    (ii) Each new energy level means a larger radius (lessattraction for the outermost electron) and providesa greater shielding effect (again reduced attractionby the nucleus). 1

  • ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE AND THE PERIODIC TABLE

    ANSWERS TO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS (AH CHEMISTRY)6

    (d) Two factors apply: the steady increase in nuclear chargeand the slight decrease in atomic radius from Li to Nemakes the attraction of the nucleus for outer electronsgreater. 1

    (e) (i) Be 1s2 2s2

    13. (a) Electrons are excited by electric discharge to a higherlevel. (1)These electrons emit energy as they return to a lowerenergy level.

(1)or It can be assumed that these lines represent a partof a series of lines which converge (at a continuum, notshown) at the higher energy end, i.e. to the left on thediagram shown in the question. Both arguments lead tothe conclusion than 393 nm represents the highestenergy value shown. (1)

    (1) (1)

    (Do not rely on your skill as an artist label the shapes also.) 2

    (b) Nitrogen has an extra pair of electrons (a lone pair).These exert a strong repulsive force downwards on thebonding pairs hence they are pushed down below thetetrahedral angle, creating a pyramid: (1)

    Boron has only three outermost electrons, so BCl3 hasonly three pairs of bonding electrons. They spreadthemselves symmetrically (or as far from each other aspossible), i.e. pointing to the corners of an equilateraltriangle. (1)

    22. (a) Each Na+ ion

    has six Cl ions as near neighbours and each

    Cl ion has six Na+ ions similarly arranged. Each iontherefore has six near neighbours ⇒ 6:6 co-ordination. 1

    (b) Since Na and Cl have a valency of 1 they cannot havesix bonds.or In the sketch each Na+ has 6 Cl near neighbours andnone of these can be considered to be the partner forthe Na+ any more than any other therefore the linesrepresent the direction along which the forces of ionicbonding apply (and do not represent shared pairs ofelectrons as in covalent bonds of covalent molecules.) 1

    (c) Molecules of sodium chloride do not exist. Onlycovalent substances can be correctly labeled as molecular,but no single Na+

    has a single identifiable special

    neighbour among the six Cl ions. 1(3)

    (d) n-type semiconductors have a surplus of electrons (fromthe dopant) in some areas and these fill the lowestunfilled conduction band, making the semiconductor abetter conductor. (1)

    The electrons migrate → n-type semiconductorand the holes → p-type. The n-type is thereforenow negative with respect to the p-type, i.e. apotential difference has been created. (1)

    29. (a) C (diamond or graphite) has a covalent networkstructure so covalent bonds have to be broken onmelting, i.e. the melting point is very high. (1)

    Fumes of HCl(aq) are seen and an oily liquid falls tothe bottom of the tube. (1)(BCl

    3 and CCl

    4 are not hydrolysed; the chlorides of As,

    Se, Br, Sb and Te are all covalent chlorides and simplydissolve in non-polar solvents without reaction, but arehydrolysed by water, since it is polar, giving fumes ofHCl(aq), as well as an oxyacid or an oxychloride bothseen as an oily droplet.) 2

    (d) The hydrogen bond is the force of attraction betweenan H atom of one molecule (which is directly attachedto an element of high electronegative value) (1)and an atom of high electronegative value on anothermolecule. (1)For water (or HF or HCl) (1)the boiling points are higher than predictions basedonly on molecular size. (1)(This is also true of melting point, of viscosity, ofsurface tension and of specific heat capacity.Hydrogen bonding also causes water to have itsmaximum value of density at 4oC, (ice floats), by holdingneighbouring molecules a little further apart than liquidmolecules.) 4

    (c) When a water molecule acts as a ligand its OH bondswill become more polarised than before so H+ ionswill tend to form. (1)

    However, the hydroxide ion donates a complete negativecharge to the central metal ion, effectively reducing thepositive charge on it and so reducing the polarisingeffect on the OH bonds. H+ ions are therefore lesslikely to form, i.e. the solution is less acidic. (1)

    4O (1)

    (which equates to mass of 68) 2

    (b) Molecular mass = 136 so molecular formula = C8H

    (c) The infra-red absorption at 1710 indicates the presenceof a carbonyl group. (1)Two oxygens present so ester or acid (1)but acid ruled out because no large peak between3500 and 2500 cm1. (1)NMR spectrum peak at 67 (integral 5) indicates amonosubstituted benzene ring. (1)Peak around 2 (integral 3) indicates a CH3 attacheddirectly to C=O. (1)

    40. (a) (i) Agonist interacts with receptor to give responsesimilar to the natural compound. 1

    (ii) Antagonist interacts with receptor to produce noresponse and it prevents action by a naturalcompound. 1

    (b) Agonist acts like a good copy of a car key and is able toswitch the car engine on (1)but an antagonist is a poor copy of the key which will goin the lock but will not turn and so cannot switch theengine on. (1)It can also prevent the real key from being used if itsticks in the lock. (1)
