1.Foundations in chemistry, Periodic table and enegy Flashcards
topic 1 and 2
Ionic bond definition
the electrostatic attraction between opp. charged ions
covalent bond definition
the strong electrostatic attraction between a SHARED PAIR of electrons and the NUCLEI of the bonded atoms
linear- bond angle /electron pairs/ example
180/ 2 bonding pairs of electrons / Co2
trigonal planar- bond angle /electron pairs/ example
120/ 3 bonding pairs of electrons/ Bcl3
tetrahedral- bond angle /electron pairs/ example
109.5 / 4 bonding pairs of electrons /CH4
pyramidal- bond angle /electron pairs/ example
107/ 3 bonding + 1 lone pair/ NH3
non-linear- bond angle /electron pairs/ example
104.5 / 2 bonding = 2 lone / H2O
octahedral- bond angle /electron pairs/ example
90 / 6 bonding pairs of electrons / SF6
electronegativity definition
the ability of an atom to attract the bonding electrons in a covalent bond
first ionisation energy definition
the energy required to remove one electron from every atom in one mole of GASEOUS ATOM
metallic bond definition
a strong electrostatic attraction between CATIONS and delocalised electrons
4 types of structure and boning
giant ionic
giant covalent
giant metallic
simple molecular/ covalent
describe the structure and bonding of a giant ionic lattice
-giant structure
-ionic bonding
-strong electrostatic forces of attraction
-in a GIANT IONIC LATTICE where forces act in ALL directions
3 properties of ionic compounds
-high melting/ boiling point
-conducts electricity when DISOLVED in water/ moltten
-poor conductors when SOLID
why do giant ionic compounds have a high melting point?
- strong elaectrostatic forces oif attraction IN ALL DIRECTIONS
-between opp. charged ions
-STRONG ionic bonds need lots of energy to break
why do giant ionic compounds have good electrical conductivity when molten/ dissolved in water?
-when molten/ disolved in water
-ions can m,ove freeley
-ions are mobile charge carriers
why do giant ionic compounds have bad electrical conductivity when solid?
-when solid
-ions are fixed
-and cant move
- are not mobile charge carriers
another word for dative covalent bonding?
coordinate bonding
why are electrons spread out in pairs?
-electron pairs repel ( as both are -ve)
-forced maximum distance apart
-lone pairs repel more than bonded pairs of electrons
(pairs of electrons repel other pairs of electrons)
pattern in electronegativity on the periodic table? and explination?
-increases as you move across a period (L-R)
more protons in the nucleus from (L-R)
increase in nuclear attraction between protons in the nucleus and electrons in the outer shells
-increases as you move up a grp
as you move up a grp atom size decreases
it is easier to get an electron closer to the nucleus
(increases in a diagonal across periodic table from FR to F)
what does a delta (δ) symbol show in a permenant dipole?
-a slight charge
δ+ is least electronegative
δ- is most electronegative
what is the most electrongative element?
flourine
what is a polar molecule?
- have bonds with a permanent dipole
-the molecular shape must not cause dipoles to cancel each-other out
what are the anomalous properties of water? and explain?
- Ice is less dense then water
coz ice has an OPEN lattice structure
Hydrogen bonds in the lattice hold the water molecuels
apart
-water has a relativley high boiling and melting point
coz it has hyfrogen bonds in addition to london forces
so more energy is needed to overcome the additional hydrogen bonds
