Q

What are ionic bonds?

A

Bonds formed between elements whose atoms need to lose and gain electrons to become isoelectronic with the nearest noble gas configuration, electrons are transferred from one atom to the other.

Q

What is the definition of covalent bonding?

A

Consists of a shared pair of electrons with one electron being supplied by each atom either side of the bond.
Atoms are held together as their positively charged nuclei are attracted to the shared electrons.

Q

What is the orbital theory with covalent bonds?

A

Covalent bonds are formed when orbitals with one electron each overlap, this forms a region in space where an electron pair can be found.
Greater overlap = stronger bond

Q

Explain electron exceptions with covalent bonding?

A

Some don’t achieve an octet
Some will exceed their octet, atoms from period 3 can due to empty d orbitals.

Where both electrons in the shared pair of electrons are provided by one species.

19
Q

How does nuclear charge affect electronegativity?

A

An increase in protons means a stronger attraction from the nucleus to the bonding pair of electrons, increasing electronegativity.

Q

How does atomic radius affect electronegativity?

A

The smaller the atomic radius the closer the bonding electrons to the nucleus, the greater the attraction, therefore the greater the electronegativity.

Q

How does shielding affect electronegativity?

A

The fewer the shells, the less the shielding of the bonding electrons, therefore the stronger the attraction from the nucleus, increasing the electronegativity.

22
Q

What is a non-polar bond?

A

When two atoms have the same/ similar electronegativity so they both pull the bonding electrons to the same extent, therefore electrons are evenly shared.

23
Q

What is a polar bond?

A

When atoms have different electronegativity, so one atom pulls the bonding electrons closer to itself, making it slightly more negative and the other more positive.
A dipole is formed.

24
Q

What are theintermolecular vs intramolecular forces?

A

Intermolecular - van der Waal’s, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonds
Intramolecular - covalent, ionic, dative, megallic

25
Q

What are van der Waal’s forces?

A

Forces that exist between molecules as electrons move quickly in orbitals and their position is changing, so they could be anywhere in an atom.
The possibility that one side has more electrons than the other will induce a weak and fleeting dipole.

26
Q

What are dipole-dipole forces?

A

Forces that occur in polar bonds, where one atom is more electronegative.

27
Q

What is hydrogen bonding?

A

A special case of dipole-dipole interactions, which result from the attraction between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom.
Strongest IMF due to strong permanent dipoles.

28
Q

Why does ice float on water?

A

When water freezes the H2O molecules form hydrogen bonds between each other and arrange themselves into a lattice, meaning the molecules are further apart making the hydrogen bonds stable. This means ice has a lower density than water.

29
Q

What happens when ice melts?

A

The lattice collapses slightly so the molecules pack closer together, making it more dense.

30
Q

What is electron pair repulsion theory?

A

Each pair of electrons around an atom will repel all other electrons pairs, therefore taking up positions as far away as possible to minimise repulsion.
This means the shape of a molecule depends on the number of lone and bonding pair of electrons.

31
Q

What is the shape of a molecule with 2 bonding pairs?

A

Linear
Bond angles = 180

32
Q

What is the shape of a molecule with 3 bonding pairs?

A

Trigonal planar
Bond angle = 120

33
Q

What is the shape of a molecule with 4 bonding pairs?

A

Tetrahedral
Bond angles = 109.5

34
Q

What is the shape of a molecule with 5 bonding pairs?

A

Trigonal bypyramid
Bond angles = 120, 90

35
Q

What is the shape of a molecule with 6 bonding pairs?

A

Octahedral
Bond angles = 90

36
Q

What is a lone pair?

A

A pair of unpaired valence electrons.

37
Q

Explain the repulsion between bonding and lone pair of electrons in a covalent bond?

A

The bonding pair is attracted to both atoms nucleus, the lone pair is only attracted to its own atoms nucleus.
Therefore the lone pair is pulled closer to the atoms nucleus, ,meaning the repulsion between the lone pair and bonding pair is greater than the repulsion between bonding pairs.
So lone pairs decrease bond angles by 2.5

38
Q

What is the shape of a molecule with 2 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs?

A

Angular
Bond angles = 104.5

39
Q

What is the shape of a molecule with 3 bonding pairs and 1 lone pairs?

A

Pyramidal
Bond angles = 107

40
Q

What is the shape of a molecule with 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs?

A

Square planar
Lone pairs 180
Bond angles = 90

41
Q

What effect does double bonds have on the shape of molecules?

A

No effect, as double bonds repel the same as single bonds.

42
Q

What is a crystal?

A

A solid with a regular arrangement, held together by forces of attraction.

43
Q

What are ionic crystals?

A

Strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

44
Q

What are properties of ionic crystals?

A

High melting points, due to strong attraction.

45
Q

What are metallic crystals?

A

Lattice of positive ions embedded in a sea of delocalised electrons.

46
Q

What are properties of metallic crystals?

A

High melting point, due to strong electrostatic attraction throughout.

47
Q

What are molecular crystals?

A

Molecules held in a regular array by intermolecular forces, covalent bonds within the molecules.

48
Q

What are properties of molecular crystals?

A

Low melting point, due to weak intermolecular forces between molecules.
Don’t conduct electricity as no charged particles.

49
Q

What are macromolecular crystals?

A

When covalent bonds extent throughout a compound.
Have high melting point due to strong covalent bonds throughout

50

A

Each carbon forms 4 covalent bonds with other carbons.

51
Q

What are properties of diamond?

A

Very hard

Don’t conduct electricity, due to no free particles.

52
Q

A

Each carbon atom has a spare electron in the p orbital.

53

A

High melting point
