Q

why are the melting and boiling points of ionic compounds very high?

A
  • the attraction between oppositely charged ions is very strong
  • a lot of kinetic energy is therefore required to overcome them
  • so the mp and bp are very high

Q

why don’t ionic compounds conduct electrcity when solid? why do they when dissolved?

A
  • in solid state, the ions are not free to movr since they are held tightly in place by each other. (so they are good insulators)
  • in liquid state, the ions are free to move so can conduct electricity

Q

where is the attraction and repulsion in covalent bonds? why?

A
  • nuclei in atoms are positive
  • electrons are negative
  • the electrons in a covalent bond repel each other
  • the nuclei between the two atoms in a covalent bond repel each other
  • there is an attraction between electrons in the covalent bond and the nuclei in the two atoms involved in the bond
  • depending on the strength of attraction/repulsion will dictate the length and strength of the covalent bond

Q

what bond must it be if two elements have the same or very similar electronegativities?

A

COVALENT BOND
- both atoms attract the electrins with similqr power and the electrons will remain midway between the two
- so covalent bond bc the electrins are shared between the two atoms

Q

what bond must it be if two elements have a significant electronegativity difference?

A

POLAR COVALENT
- one attracts the electrons more strongly and the electrons are on average closer to one atom than the other
- electrons still shared, but one atom has a sight deficit of electrons and thus a slight positive charged and the other a slight surplus of electrons and therefore a slight negative charge

Q

what are molecules that have a net dipole of zero said to be? do they have low or high boiling points?

A
  • said to be non-polar
  • and hence have lower boiling points
40

41
Q

an increase in amount of intermolecular forces will _____ a substances boiling point

A

increase

42
Q

what are the 3 main types of intermolecular forces?

A
  1. hydrogen bonds
  2. Van der Waals / temporary dipole-dipole
  3. permanent dipole-dipole
43
Q

what are Van der Waals forces? (VdW)

A
  • these charges produce very weak electrostatic attractions between all atoms and molecules
  • electrons in atoms are always moving so it’s likely that at any given time the distribution of electrons will not be exactly symmetrical
  • the molecules get a slight negative and slight positive charge and so VdW are made between the neighbouring molecules/atoms
  • (on an adjacent molecule, the electrons are now repelled by the negative part of the dipole and attracted to the positive part)
  • makes instantaneous dipoles
  • form + break over and over again
  • weakest intermolecular force
  • if bigger (Mr), more VdW, higher boiling point)
44
Q

which is the weakest intermolecular force?

A

Van der Waal’s forces

45
Q

where do VdW forces occur?

A
  • they exist everywhere
46
Q

what does the strength of the Van der Waal’s forces in between molecules depend on?

A
  1. the number of electrons in the molecule
  2. the surface area of the molecules
47
Q

explain why chlorine is a gas but iodine is a solid at room temperature and pressure. [3]

A
  • VdW forces
  • I2 larger (surface area)
  • more VdW so more energy needed, so higher temp
48
Q

do temporary dipoles exist in all molecules?
do permanent dipoles exist in all molecules?

A
  • yes, temporary dipoles exist in all molecules
  • no, in some molecules there is also a permanent dipoles
49
Q

does the presence of polar bonds mean a permanent dipole on the molecule?

A

no not necessarily

as there are other polar bonds (dipoles) in the same molecules which have the effect of cancelling each other out

e.g O=C=O is a dipole resulting from polar bonds but the vector sum of these dipoles is 0. the molecule has no overall dipole and is said to be non-polar

50
Q

what are polar molecules?

A

those in which there are polar bonds and in which the dipoles resulting from the polar bonds do not cancel out

51
Q

what is permanent dipole / dipole-dipole bonding between?

A

between a permanent dipole on one molecule and a permanent dipole on another

52
Q

what is a permanent dipole?

A

a molecule that is polar

(the dipoles resulting from polar bonds whose vector sum is not 0)

53
Q

what is the middle strength bond of intermolecular forces?

the more intermolecular bonds that can form between molecules, the ___ solublr the substance

A

the more soluble

64
Q

what happens to e.g hexane in water? (has no dipoles/polar bonds)

  • they are IMMISCIBLE
65
Q

hydrophilic definition

A

water loving

66
Q

hydrophobic definition

A

67
Q

what is electron pair repulsion theory?

A

the shape of a molecule depends upon the number of electron pairs surrounding the central atom

68
Q

how can molecular shapes be predicted?

A

using the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR)

69
Q

how does the VSEPR theory work?

A
  • draw a dot and cross diagram for the molecule
  • cound the number of bonded electron pairs around the central atom
  • note the arrangement that this numver of electrons will adopt
  • write the symbol of the central atom and arrange the other atoms around it in the expected shape
  • the overall shape can be distorted by lone pairs, like it is in ammonia and water
70
Q

linear
bond angle = 180.

71

A

^ lone - lone
I bond - lone
I bond - bond
greater repulsion ^

76

A

intermolecular forces

77
Q

what are the chemical properties of molecules effected by?

A

the bonds (as bonds are broken during chemical reactions)

(e.g ionic/covalent)

78
Q

what slight charge does the atom with the higher electronegativity have?

A

slight negative charge

(because it has more electrons)

79
Q

A

104.5.

80

A

non-linear

81
Q

use VSEPR theory to state and explain the shape of the molecule BCl3 [3]

A
  • has 3 bonding electron pairs
  • has 0 lone pairs
  • the bond pairs adopt the position of least repulsion creating a trigonal planar shape
82
Q

use VSEPR theory to state and explain the shape of the molecule NCl3 [3]

A
  • has 3 bonding electron pairs
  • has 1 lone pair
  • the shape is distorted from the expected
  • making it a pyramidal shape due to the greater repulsion between lone and bond pairs
  • resulting in a bond angle of 107.
83
Q

why do both electrons in the covalent bond have opposing spins?

A

to minimise this repulsion

84
Q

the greater the electronegativity value, the ____ the attracting power of the element for the bonding pair of electrons

A

stronger

85
Q

what is a dipole?

A

a difference in charge between two atoms in a bond

86
Q

what shape and bond angle would three bonding pairs and one lone pair make? e.g ammonia

A

trigonal pyramidal
bond angle = 107.

87
Q

what shape and bond angle would two bonding pairs and two lone pair make? e.g water

A

bent / v-shaped
bond angle = 104.5.

(bond angle less than in tetrahedral molecules bc lone-lone repulsion forces the bonding pairs even closer and reduces the angle between them)

88
Q

why does electronegativity increase along a period?

A

as atomic radius decreases

89
Q

why does electronegativity decrease down a group?

A

as shielding increases

90

weaker

91
Q

what is meant by a polar covalent bond?

A

a covalent bond where the electrons are not shared equally between the atoms

92
Q

give a reason why some covalent bonds are polar

A

bonds are polar if the elements/atoms involved have a difference in electronegativity

93
Q

are coordinate bonds always polar?

A

yes
sincr the atom giving both electrons to the bond cannot completely lose its rights over one electron

94
Q

the melting temperature of sodium chloride is 1074K but sodium iodide has a melting temperature of 934K.
suggest why the melting temperature of sodium iodide is lower than that of sodium chloride [1]

A
  • iodine ion larger than chloride ion so less attraction to sodium ion
  • less difference in electronegativity so NaI not as ionic as NaCl
95
Q

while chlorine has a boiling temperature of 238K, the boiling temperature of iodine monochloride , ICl, is 371K.
suggest why the boiling temperature of iodine monochloride is higher than that to chlorine?

A
  • ICl larger molecule than Cl2 so more electrons
  • more VdW forces between molecules

OR

  • permanent dipoles between molecules in ICl but Cl2 has only temporary dipoles/vdw forces between molecules
  • permanent dipoles stronger than temporary dipoles/vdw forces
96
Q

do you say e.g 2 lone pairs or 2 lone bonds?

A

2 lone pairs
