    This document contains an exam for a chemistry course on inorganic chemistry III. The exam contains 6 questions covering various topics in inorganic chemistry including the periodic trends in atomic radii of transition metals, distinguishing between main group, transition and inner transition elements, valence shell electron pair repulsion theory to explain the shape of XeF2 compounds, and the processing of metals from ores including beneficiation, reduction and purification. Students are instructed to answer question one, which covers ionization energies of noble gases, periodic trends in atomic radii, coordination compounds, beneficiation of ores, and methods for concentrating ores. They must also answer any four of the remaining five questions.
