Use the Pauling electronegativity values
from Figure 13.3 of your text book to solve
any problems needing EN. In the exam a sim-
ilar table will be provided.
Remember that
topics covered by ALEKS are not included in
Quest homework topics that you particularly
need to be able to do are how to draw Lewis
structures, how to use VSEPR theory to pre-
dict the shape and polarity of molecules, how
to use VB theory to predict hybridization,
and how to use MO theory to predict bond
length and strength. Extra examples of these
to work in addition to ALEKS will be sup-
plied via quest (for no credit) as we cover
them in class..

When dealing with electrons in atoms and
molecules, the electrons that are not consid-
ered as valence electrons (can, cannot) ef-
fectively shield the nucleus and thereby (de-
crease, increase) the effective nuclear charge.
1.
cannot; increase
2.
cannot; decrease
3.
can; increase
4.
The non-valence electrons do nothing.
5.
can; decrease

Explanation:
Electron affinity is defined as the amount
of energy absorbed in the process in which an
electron is added to a neutral isolated gaseous
atom to form a gaseous ion with a
-
