SECTION 1: MCQ
Question 1
Which has the smallest atomic radius?
- Na
- Mg
- Al
- Cl
Show answer
Correct answer: D
Why: Atomic radius decreases left → right.
Fix it: Right = smaller
Question 2
Which has strongest Coulombic attraction?
- Na⁺
- Mg²⁺
- Al³⁺
- K⁺
Show answer
Correct answer: C
Why: Higher charge = stronger attraction.
Fix it: More charge = stronger
Question 3
Which molecule is nonpolar?
- H₂O
- NH₃
- CO₂
- SO₂
Show answer
Correct answer: C
Why: Linear symmetry cancels dipoles.
Fix it: Symmetry = nonpolar
Question 4
Which IMF is present in all molecules?
- Hydrogen bonding
- Dipole-dipole
- Ion-dipole
- London dispersion
Show answer
Correct answer: D
Why: All molecules have dispersion forces.
Fix it: Always LDF
Question 5
Increasing temperature will:
- decrease rate
- increase rate
- stop reaction
- no change
Show answer
Correct answer: B
Question 6
Which process releases heat?
- melting
- evaporation
- condensation
- sublimation
Show answer
Correct answer: C
Question 7
For exothermic reaction, increasing temperature shifts:
- right
- left
- no change
- depends
Show answer
Correct answer: B
Why: Heat is product → adding heat shifts left

Show answer
Correct answer: C
SECTION 2: FRQ
FRQ 1
Explain how Q and K determine direction of reaction.
Show answer
Key points
- compare Q vs K
- Q < K → forward
- Q > K → backward
Sample answer: System shifts to reach equilibrium by comparing Q to K.
FRQ 2
Explain how temperature affects equilibrium.
Show answer
Key points
- exo vs endo
- heat as reactant/product
- shift direction
Sample answer: System shifts to absorb added heat.
