Answer 3

5

Question 4

how many orbitals do F subshells contain

Answer 4

7

Question 5

How to work out max number of electrons in shell

Answer 5

2n^2

Question 6

what does n stand for

Answer 6

shell number

Question 7

Aufbau principle

Answer 7

electrons enter lowest energy orbital available

Question 8

isoelectronic definition

Answer 8

ion has the same number of electrons as an element

Question 9

dative covalent bond definition

Answer 9

one atom gives 2 electrons to share instead of 1

Question 10

what elements do metallic bonding

Answer 10

metals only

Question 11

why do metals have high melting point

Answer 11

as there’s a large amount of energy needed to break electrostatic forces of attraction between them

Question 12

structure of a metallic bond

Answer 12

giant metallic lattice
regularly spaced ions in fixed position
free moving delocalised electrons

Question 13

do metals conduct electricity

Answer 13

yes when solid or molten as they have free delocalised electrons

Question 14

what causes high charge density

Answer 14

small ionic radius and high charge

Question 15

what does a high charge density cause

Answer 15

stronger electrostatic forces

Question 16

ion definition

Answer 16

charged particle
when atom has more or less electrons

Question 17

why do ionic compounds conduct when molten but not solid

Answer 17

when solid ions can’t move but when molten they’re free to move when dissolved in water

Question 18

ionic bonding definition

Answer 18

electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions

Question 19

pair of electrons not involved in covalent bond

Answer 19

lone pair

Question 20

covalent bond

Answer 20

non metals sharing electrons to form molecules
electrostatic forces
