Q

state and explain the conduction of ionic compounds in both solid and liquid states

A

when solid there are no free ions to conduct electricity so the compound is a poor conductor

when molten the ions are free to move and conduct electricity so the compound is a good conductor

Q

state and explain whether giant covalent substances are poor or good conductors

A

Q

A

high, there is strong electrostatic force of attraction between the positive metal ions and sea of delocalised electrons that means lots of energy is needed to overcome this

19
Q

state and explain whether metallic substances are poor or good conductors

A

good, the sea of delocalised electrons are free to move through the structure and conduct electricity

20
Q

explain why metallic substances are malleable

A

the positive ions are all identical and formed in layers that allow the ions to slide easily over one and other

37
Q

give the four elements that are exceptions when trying to find out the shape of a compound

A

when combined with oxygen nitrogen, carbon, sulphur and chlorine will need to be drawn via dot and cross diagram to work out the shape

38
Q

electronegativity is …

A

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

39
Q

name two reasons electronegativity increases or decreases and explain why

A
  • number of protons increase so atomic radius increases and electrons in the same shell are pulled in more
  • decreases down the group as distance between the nucleus and outer electrons so shielding of inner shell electrons increases
40
Q

name the four most electronegative atoms from lowest to highest

A

N & Cl
O
F

41
Q

name the three types of intermolecular force

A
  • induced dipole-dipole / london force
  • permanent dipole-dipole
  • hydrogen bonding
42
Q

explain why induced dipole-dipole is formed

A

• electrons are moving constantly and randomly causing electron density to fluctuate and some of the molecules to become more or less negative to form dipoles that can cause dipoles to form in neighbouring molecules

43
Q

explain the effect of increasing electrons on boiling points

A

the more electrons the higher the chance temporary dipoles will form so the induced dipole-dipole interactions are stronger between molecules so boiling point increases

44
Q

how do you predict the bond angle of C, S, N and Cl with oxygen

A

draw a dot and cross diagram
