Ice-cream Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 hey guys, i have 2 questions...hopefully u can help me out! 1. this multiple choice MAY have more than 1 answers...but i only got 1 answer so i just want to know whether u guys think there's only 1 answer as well. Which of the following statements is/are incorrect? (a) The exact momentum and position of an electron cannot be determined. (b) Lower energy orbitals are filled with electrons before higher energy orbitals. © When filling orbitals of equal energy, 2 electrons will occupy the same orbital before filling a new orbital. (d) No two electrons in a particular atom can have the same value for all 4 quantum numbers. (i got © as the incorrect statement. are there anymore there do u think?) 2. For which of the following species if more than one lewis (resonance) structure required to correctly describe the molecule? (a) Li2S (b) NH3 © NO2- (d) ClO4- (e) none of these (i got © where O=N-O. what do u guys think?)
Dave Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 I don't think there are any more myself for the first one. As for the second, I have no idea
5614 Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 LOL, dave, I totaly agree with you! I'm sure you got Q1 correct... don't have a clue for Q2! In Q1 a = true = uncertainity principle b = true = that's just how it works, I've never heard of any exceptions c = false = this is true only for the s orbitals, not the p and d d = true = if it were false then this would violate the pauli exclusion principle, it would break the basic rules which fermions follow.
