How can lattice enthalpy be an indicator of the melting point of an ionic compound?
lattice enthalpy = measure of bond strength
MORE EXOTHERMIC LE
= STRONGER ionic bonds, which require MORE ENERGY to break
= HIGHER m.p
During changes of state of simple covalent molecules, intermolecular forces are overcome.
However, giant ionic lattices have no intermolecular forces, ∴ become molten by…
breaking ionic bonds between oppositely charged ions
How can hydration enthalpy be a measure of intermolecular force (permanent dipoles) strength?
MORE EXOTHERMIC hyd
= more ENERGY RELEASED during formation of permanent dipoles
= stronger permanent dipoles
What type of intermolecular force is formed between dissociated gaseous ions of the ionic lattice + H2O molecules during hydration enthalpy?
permanent dipole
What is lattice enthalpy a measure of?
ionic bond strength
What is hydration enthalpy a measure of?
intermolecular force strength
between dissociated ions + H2O molecules.
If lattice enthalpy is more exothermic, ionic bonds are ____.
stronger.
∵ more energy released during formation, so require more energy to break.
If lattice enthalpy is less exothermic, ionic bonds are ____.
weaker.
∵ less energy released during formation, so require less energy to break.
Which factors give a more exothermic lattice enthalpy?
(factors increasing electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions)
smaller ionic radius + greater ionic charge
Which factors give a less exothermic lattice enthalpy?
(factors decreasing electrostatic attatraction between oppositely charged ions)
larger ionic radius + lower ionic charge
Which factors give a more exothermic hydration enthalpy?
(factors increasing permanent dipole strength between ions + H2O)
smaller ionic radius + greater ionic charge
Which factors give a less exothermic hydration enthalpy?
(factors decreasing dipole strength between ions + H2O)
larger ionic radius + lower ionic charge
