D) the wavelength decreases. E) None of the above occur as the energy of a photon increases. Which of the following compounds would you expect to be a molecular compound? A) Na_2 O B) BaO C) Cs_2 S D) CO_2 E) CaF_2 Choose the statement below that is TRUE. A) A weak acid solution consists of mostly nonionized acid molecules. B) The term "strong electrolyte" means that the substance is extremely reactive. C) A strong acid solution consists of only partially ionized acid molecule. D) The term "weak electrolyte" means that the substance is inert. E) A molecular compound that does not ionize in solution is a strong electrolyte.

Explanation / Answer

AZX A =Mass number =Number of protons + Number of neutrons , Z = Atomic number = Number of protons

Number of protons is equal to number of electrons in neutral atom

168O2-   A = 16 , Z =8 , Number of neutrons =8

Number of electrons = 8 + 2 (Since -2 charge is present) =10

199F-   A = 19 , Z =9 , Number of neutrons =10

Number of electrons = 9 + 1 (Since -1 charge is present) =10

2010Ne A =20 , Z =10 ,Number of neutrons =10

Number of electrons =10

Since all the species contains 10 electrons so option (A) is correct

Sum of neutrons in all species = 8 + 10 + 10 =28

Since the sum of number of neutrons in all three species is 28 , so option (B) is incorrect.

Sum of protons in all three species = 8 + 9 +10 =27

Since the sum of number of protons in all three species is 27 so option (C) is incorrect.

Number of neutrons in 19F- and 20Ne is 10 respectively , so option (D) is incorrect.

Only correct option is (A).
