Q

explain why metals have a high metling point

A

a lot of energy is needed to break the strong metallic bond

43
Q

explain why magnesium has a higher melting poitn than sodium

A

magnesium has more protons which attracts the electrons more stronlgyh and so increasing the strength of the mettalic bond requiring more energy to break than the energy reuqired to break the metallic bond of soidum

44
Q

explain why metals can conduct electriciyt

A

the delcoaised electrons can move to carry a charge through the metallic structure

45
Q

explain why metals are thermal conductors

A

the delocalised electrons can pass kinetic negery to each other

46
Q

explain how the charge of an ion affects the strenght of metals

A

the greater the charge on the ion the greater the number of delocaised electrons and the stronger the electrostatic attraction between the positive ions and the electrons and the stronger the metallic bond

47
Q

explain how the size of an ion affects the strength of metals

A

the smaller the ion the closer the electrons are to the positive nucelsu and the stronger the metallic bond

48
Q

explain why metals are ductile

A

the layers in the metal can slide over one another

49
Q

explain hwy metals are malleable

A

after a small distortion each metal ion is in the same environemnt as before keeping the fixed arrangemtn of the metallic structure

50
Q

explain why ionic compunds are brittle

A

s mall displacement will cause contatc between ions with like charges and so they repel casuing the ionic compound to shatter

51
Q

what are the two rules that must happen for dative bonding to occur

A

the atom that accepts the electron pair is an atom that doesn’t have a filled outer main level of electrons

the atom that is donating the electrons has a pair of electrons that is not being used in a bond called a lone pair

52
Q

deine elecotrnegativyt

A

it is a measure of an atms ability to attract a pair of electrons in a covalent bond

53
Q

explain and state the trend in negativity going down a group

A

electronegativty decreases because there is more shieling by electrons which increases the atomic raduis and so the electrostaic force of attrcation decreases

54
Q

explain and state the trend in negativity across a period

A

electronegativity increases because although shieklignis the same nucklear chasrge increases which decreases the atomic raduis and so the electrostaic force of attraction increases

55
Q

what does electron density describe

A

describes the wy the negative charge is distributed in a molecule

56
Q

deine polarity of covalent bonds

A

unequl sharing of electrons between atoms that are bonded together covalently

57
Q

why is the covalent bond non polar between two atoms that are the same

A

the covalent bond is equally shared between the atoms since both atoms have the same electronegativty so the bond is completely non polar

58
Q

why is the covalent bond polar between two different atoms

A

the bond will not be shared equally since the atoms have different electronegativy

59
Q

In hydrogen fluroide why is fluroine end of the molecule relaitively negative and the hydrogen end relatively positive

A

hydrogen has a lower electronegativity than fluroine meaning the electrons in the covalent bond will be attrcated more by fluorine than hydrogen and so the electron cloud is distortewd towards fluroine making the flourine ened of the molecule relatively negative and the hydrogen end of the molecule relaitvely positive

60
Q

what is the relationship between diffrence in electroneativity and polairty of a covalent bond

A

the bgretaer the diffrenece in electronegative the more polar the covalent bond is

61
Q

list the different ytpes of intermolecular forces in order of strength

A

Van der walls forces
dipole-dipole forces
hydrogen bonding

62
Q

where do van der waals forces occur

A

between all atoms and molecules that are non polar

63
Q

why does I2 have a higher boiling point than CL2

A

iodine has more electrons than chlorine so the van der waals force of iodine is stronger and larger than the van der waals forces of chlorine and so more energy is needed to break the van der waals forces between the iodine molecules than the chlorine molecules

64
Q

explain why straight chain alkanes have higher melting point than branched chain alkanes

A

staright chain alkanes can pack closer together than branched alkanes creating more points of contact between the moleculestherefore straight chain alkanes have stronger van der waals forces than branched chain alkanes and so require nore energy to break the van der waal forces between the molecules.

65
Q

where do dipole - dipole forces occur

A

between molecules that have a polar bond

66
Q

how do dipole dipole forces occur in hydrogen chloride

A

chlorine is more electronegative than hydrogen so electrons are pulled towards chlorine rather than hydrogen thefore molecule forms a dipole with paritally poisitve hyfdrogen and partially negative chlorine

67
Q

how will two molecules with dipoles attarct one another

A

whatevere the starting position the molecules with dipoles will flip to give an arrangement where two molecules attract

68
Q

when does hydrogen bonding occur

A

acts when hydrogen of one molecule is attracted to a more electronegative atom on a neigbouring molecule can only occur if the hydrogen is bonded to Fluroine,Oxygen,Nitrogen.

69
Q

why does hydrogen bonding only occur between fluroine oxygen and nitrogen

A

because F,O,N are the only atoms electronegative eneough to form hydrogen bonds

70
Q

how do we represent hydrogen bonds

A

— (dashes)

71
Q

why is water polar

A

oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen

72
Q

why do the noble gases show a gradual increase in boiling points down the group

A

because the strength of van der waal forces acting between the atoms increases due to more electrons and so increases the strength and size of the van der waals forces down the group and so more and more energy is needed to break the van der waals forces

73
Q

explain why the boiling points of water,hydrogen fluroide and ammonia all higher than the other hydrides of the other elements in their group

A

because hydrogen bonding is present between the molecules in each of the compounds (water,hydrogen fluroide and ammonia) so more energy is needed to break the hydrogen bonding than that of the intermolecular forces between the hydrides.

74
Q

although phosphine molecules,Ph3 contain hydrogen atoms hydrogen bonding doesnt occur sugeest a reason why

A

Phosphoruos and hydrogen have a small electronegativity difference and P is not very electronegative

75
Q

explain the importance of hydrogen bonding in ice

A

as liquid water cools to form ice the molecules make more hydrogen bonds and arrange themselves into a regular lattice structure where the water molecules are further apart on aergae than the molecules in liquid water so ice is less dense than liquid water and so ice forms on top of ponds rather than the bottom insulating the pond and enabling the life of organisms to evolve.

76
Q

explain the importance of hydrogen bonding in ironing

A

the iron provides heat to break the hydrogen bonds in th crumpled material and pressure to make the material flat forcing molecules into new positions.When you remove the iron the hydrogen bonds can reform and hold the molecules in these new positions keeping the fabric flat.

77
Q

What does the electron pair repulsion theory state

A
  • pairs of electrons repel each other so they they are as far apart as possible
  • lone pairs repel slightly more than bonded pairs because they’re more compact
  • the molecule or ion takes up a shape which minimises these repulsions
  • each lone pair reduces the bond angle by 2.5 degrees

particles move about freely and rapidly with a lot of energy

99
Q

describe what happens when you heat a solid

A

particles vibrate more about a fixed point distance between the particles slightly increases so solid expands

100
Q

describe what happens when you melt a solid into a liquid (melting-fusion)

A

energy is supplied to weaken the forces that act between the particles holding them toegtehr in the solid state

101
Q

describe what happens when you heat a liquid(

A

you supply more energy to the particles increasing the KE of the particles the particles move a little further apart and so the liquid expands

102

A

enegry is needed to break all the intermolecular forces between the particles
