(a) A hydrocarbon having the formula C\(_{10}\)H\(_{22}\) was cracked to produce C\(_6\)H\(_{14}\) and another hydrocarbon P.

(i) Give the molecular formula of P.

(ii) Draw the structures of two isomers of P.     

(ii) Give a reason why P could be polymerized.

 

(b) State the guiding principles which are used to explain the way electrons of the atoms of the elements are arranged in atomic orbitals.

 

(c)Consider each of the following substances: NaH, H\(_2\), H\(_2\)S, NH\(_4\)Cl.

(i) Describe the nature of the intermolecular forces holding the units or molecules together in the condensed (liquid or solid) state.

(ii) Explain briefly what happens when a sample of each of the substances is added to water.

 

 (iii) Write the chemical equations of any reactions occurring or of any equilibria established.    

 

(d) Element J has the following electron configuration: Is\(^2\)2s\(^2\)2p\(^6\)3s\(^2\).

 

(i) How many unpaired electrons can be found in J?
