Q

Why does giant ionic lattices conduct electricity when liquid but not when solid?

A

In solid state, the ions are in fixed positions and thus cannot move. When they are in liquid state, the ions are mobile and thus can freely carry the charge

Q

Giant ionic lattice have high or low melting points?

Explain your answer

They have high melting and boiling point

because a large amount of energy is required to overcome the electrostatic bonds

Q

Why are ionic compounds soluble in water?

A

Water has a polar bond.

Q

Can simple molecular structures conduct electricity?

A

No, they are non- conductors

25
Why do simple molecular structures not conduct electricity
They have no free charged particles to move around
26
Simple molecular structures dissolve in what type of solvent?
Non-polar solvents
27
Give examples of giant covalent structures
Diamond Graphite Silicon dioxide, SiO2
28
List some properties of giant covalent structures? (3)
High melting and boiling point Non conductors of electricity, except graphite Insoluble in polar and non polar solvents
29
How does graphite conduct electricity?
Delocalised electrons present between the layers are able to move freely carrying the charge
30
Why do giant covalent structures have high melting and boiling point?
Strong covalent bonds within the molecules need to be broken which requires a lot of energy
31
Draw and describe the structure of a diamond
3D tetrahedral structure of carbon atoms, with each carbon atom bonded to four others
32
What does the shape of a molecule depend on?
Number of electron pairs in the outer shell Number of these electrons which are bonded and lone pairs
33
What is the shape, diagram and bond angle in a shape with 2 bonded pairs and 0 lone pairs
linear | 180
34
What is the shape, diagram and bond angle in a shape with 3 bonded pairs and 0 lone pairs
Trigonal planar | 120
35
What is the shape, diagram and bond angle in a shape with 4 bonded pairs and 0 lone pairs
Tetrahedral | 109.5
36
What is the shape, diagram and bond angle in a shape with 5 bonded pairs and 0 lone pairs
Trigonal bipyramid | 90 and 120
37
What is the shape, diagram and bond angle in a shape with 6 bonded pairs and 0 lone pairs
Octahedral | 90
38
What is the shape, diagram and bond angle in a shape with 3 bonded pairs and 1 lone pair
Pyramidal | 107
39
What is the shape, diagram and bond angle in a shape with 2 bonded pairs and 2 lone pairs
Non linear | 104.5
40
By how many degrees does each lone pair reduce the bond angle?
2.5
41
Define elctronegativity
The ability of an atom to attract the pair of electrons (the electron density) in a covalent bond
42
In which direction of the periodic table does electronegativity increase?
Top right, towards fluorine
43
What odes it mean when the bond is non-polar?
The electrons in the bond are evenly distributed
44
What is the most electronegative element?
Fluorine
45
How is a polar bond formed?
Bonding atoms have different electronegativities
46
Why is H2O polar, whereas CO2 is non polar
CO2 is a symmetrical molecule, so there is no overall dipole
47
What is meant by intermolecular force?
Attractive force between neighbouring molecules
48
What are the 2 types of intermolecular forces?
Hydrogen bonding | Van der Waals' forces
49
What is the strongest type of intermolecular force?
Hydrogen bonding
50
What are the 2 interactions hat can be referred to as Van der Waals'?
Permanent dipole - induced dipole interaction Permanent dipole - permanent dipole interaction
51
Describe permanent dipole-induced dipole interactions
When a molecule with a permanent dipole is close to other non polar molecules, it causes the non-polar molecule to become slightly polar leading to attraction
52
Describe permanent dipole-permanent dipole interactions
Some molecules with polar bonds have permanent dipoles ---> forces of attraction between those dipoles and those of neighboring molecules
53
Describe london forces
London forces are caused by random movements of electrons This leads to instantaneous dipoles Instantaneous dipole induces a dipole in nearby molecules Induced dipoles attract one another
54
Are london forces greater in smaller or larger molecules?
Larger due to more elctrons
55
Does boiling point increase or decrease down the noble gas group? why?
Boiling point increases because the number of electrons increases and hence the strength of london forces also increases
56
What conditions are needed for hydrogen bonding to occur?
O-H, N-H or F-H bond lone pair of electrons on O,F,N Because O,N, and F are highly electronegative, H nucleus is left exposed Strong forces of attraction between H nucleus and lone pair of electrons on O,N,F
57
Draw a diagram of hydrogen bonding

58
Why is ice less dense than liquid water?
In ice, the water molecules are arranged in an orderly pattern. It has an open lattice with hydrogen bonds In water, the lattice is collapsed and the molecules are closer together
59
Why does water have a melting/ boiling point higher than expected?
Hydrogen bonds are stronger than other intermolecular forces so extra strength is required to overcome the forces
