INC150S - Test 3 - Moderated

This document contains an inorganic chemistry exam with four questions. Question 1 asks students to provide Lewis structures, electron arrangements, shapes, and polarities for various molecules and ions. It also asks about hybridization and the role of hybrid orbitals in valence bond theory. Question 2 covers topics like alloys, conductivity, metallic properties, and oxidation states. It also asks students to write IUPAC names and formulas. Question 3 is about the Haber process, conditions for ammonia synthesis, and reactions and products of ammonia. It also covers phosphorus allotropes and acid strengths. Question 4 covers the ozone layer, water hardness types and removal, oxide types, and uses of hydrogen peroxide. The total marks for the
