Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.10 Chemistry Models and Representations skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A heating diagram shows gas particles as larger circles at higher temperature. Which revision would make the particle model more accurate?

AMake atoms larger whenever temperature rises because atoms swell.

BRemove all motion arrows because hot particles stop moving.

CShow molecules breaking into protons and neutrons during ordinary heating.

DKeep particle size the same but use longer motion arrows and greater average spacing if the gas expands.

Solution & Explanation:Heating increases average kinetic energy; it does not make ordinary atoms or molecules physically swell. A better model changes speed arrows and, when volume changes, spacing between particles.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

An orbital diagram is drawn as a fuzzy cloud around the nucleus rather than a circular path. What is the best interpretation of this representation?

AThe electron is spread out as visible smoke around the atom.

BThe electron stops moving and fills the entire room.

CThe cloud represents regions of high probability for finding an electron, not a fixed path.

DThe cloud shows the nucleus changing into an electron.

Solution & Explanation:Orbital diagrams model probability density. They should not be read as photographs of smoke-like electrons or as fixed tracks.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A compound's empirical formula is CH2O, but its structural formula is CH3COOH. Which statement best explains the limitation of the empirical formula?

AIt gives no information about element ratios.

BIt gives the simplest atom ratio but not the actual molecular size or atom connectivity.

CIt always gives the exact 3D shape of the molecule.

DIt proves the compound is an ionic lattice.

Solution & Explanation:An empirical formula is a ratio model. It can match many different molecular or structural formulas, so it does not show actual molecule size, connectivity, or geometry.
