33
Q

What is electronegativity?

A

The relative tendency of an atom in a covalent bond in a molecule to attract electrons in a covalent bond to itself

34
Q

What are the most electronegative atoms?

A

Fluorine, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Chlorine

35
Q

What is the trend of electronegativity?

A

-Increases along a period
-decreases down a group

36
Q

Why does electronegativity increase when going along a period?

A

Number of protons increase which decreases atomic radius as electrons are pulled in more

37
Q

Why does electronegativity decrease as you go down a group?

A

Shielding increases which increases the atomic radius as the shells are further away from the nucleus

38
Q

How can you compare the electronegativity of atoms?

A

Using the Pauling scale

39
Q

What is non polar?

A

The bonded electron pair is shared equally between the bonded atoms

40
Q

When is an atom non polar?

A

When the bonding atoms are the same, or they have similar electronegativities

41
Q

What is polar?

A

The bonded electron pair is shared unequally

42
Q

When is an atom polar?

A

When the bonding atoms have different electronegativity values

43
Q

What does a polar molecule cause?

A

Produces a charge separation called a dipole

44
Q

Why do some non polar molecules have polar bonds?

A

The dipoles can cancel out due to direction

45
Q

What is an intermolecular force?

A

Weak interactions between dipoles of different molecules

46
Q

What are London Forces?

A

Weak IMF’s that exist between all molecules

47
Q

How are induced dipole-dipole interactions formed?

A

Moving electrons cause the electron density to fluctuate, which forms temporary dipoles, which cause dipoles to form in neighbouring molecules as they attract one another

48
Q

What is a Van der Waal force?

A

Permanent and induced dipole-dipole interactions

49
Q

What are permanent dipole- dipole forces?

A

Forces that are stronger than London forces between molecules with a polar bond

50
Q

What is a hydrogen bond?

A

Permanent dipole-dipole interaction between a hydrogen atom and the 3 most electronegative atoms

51
Q

What are the properties of a hydrogen bond?

A

-high mp
-results in ice having a lower density than water as they hold molecules in a rigid structure with lots of air gaps

52
Q

What is the solubility of simple molecular structures?

A

-non polar are soluble in non polar
-simple molecular are insoluble in polar
-polar dissolve in polar
