Q

What are Van der Waal’s forces?

A
  • Also known as temporary dipole-induced dipole interactions
  • Caused by the movement of electrons so the more electrons there are the stronger the force
  • Exist between all molecules at all times, in addition to any other forces

Q

What is the name for the energy required to boil a liquid?

A

Enthalpy of vaporisation

24
Q

What is the name for the energy required to melt a solid?

A

Enthalpy of fusion

25
Q

What are the four types of crystal structure?

A
  • Ionic
  • Metallic
  • Molecular (simple covalent)
  • Macromolecular (giant covalent)
26
Q

What is an ionic crystal?

A

Positive and negative ions held together in a giant ionic lattice by strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charge ions

27
Q

Describe and explain the melting points of ionic compounds

A
  • High

- Strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions

28
Q

Describe and explain the electrical conductivity properties of ionic compounds

A
  • Does not conduct when solid
  • No ions (charged particles) free to move
  • Does conduct when molten or in solution
  • Ions free to move and carry charge
29
Q

Describe and explain the physical properties of ionic compounds

A
  • Hard but brittle

- A force can move the ions and produce contact between like charges causing them to repel

30
Q

Describe and explain the solubility of ionic compounds

A
  • Often dissolve in water

- Ions become solvated and surrounded by water molecules

31
Q

What is a metallic crystal?

A

A giant lattice of positive ions held together by a sea of delocalised electrons

32
Q

Describe and explain the melting points of metals

A
  • High melting and boiling points

- Strong electrostatic attraction between metal ions and delocalised sea of electrons

33
Q

Describe and explain the electrical conductivity of metals

A
  • Conduct in all states

- Delocalised electrons free to move and carry charge

34
Q

Describe and explain the physical properties of metals

A
  • Malleable and ductile

- Metal ions can slide past each other while retaining their lattice structure and metallic properties

35
Q

Describe and explain the solubility of metals

A
  • Insoluble in water

- Metallic bonds are too strong for water so overcome so metal ions cannot become solvated

36
Q

What is a molecular crystal?

A

Individual molecules held together by weak intermolecular forces

37
Q

Describe and explain the melting points of molecular solids

A
  • Low melting points

- Weak intermolecular forces (VDW) do not require much energy to overcome

38
Q

Describe and explain the physical properties of molecular solids

A
  • Soft and easily breakable

- Weak intermolecular forces (VDW) do not require much energy to overcome

39
Q

Describe and explain the electrical conductivity of molecular solids

A
  • Never conduct electricity

- No charged particles free to move

40
Q

What is a macromolecular crystal?

A

A giant arrangement of atoms joined by covalent bonds

41
Q

Describe and explain the melting point of diamond

A
  • Very high (3,000C +)

- Strong covalent bonds require a lot of energy to break

42
Q

Describe and explain the physical properties of diamond

A
  • Very hard

- Strong covalent bonds require a lot of energy to break

43
Q

Describe and explain the melting point of graphite

A
  • Very high (3,000C +)

- Strong covalent bonds require a lot of energy to break

44
Q

Describe and explain the physical properties of graphite

A
  • Soft, flaky and slippery

- Layers slide over each other because of delocalised electrons between layers

45
Q

Describe and explain the electrical conductivity of graphite

A
  • Conducts electricity

- Delocalised electrons free to move and carry charge

46
Q

How does the bond angle change when a molecule’s loan pair forms a hydrogen bond?

A
  • Increases
  • Loan pair more like bonding pair so does not repel so strongly
47
Q

How can electronegativity values be used to predict whether a given chloride is likely to be ionic or covalent?

A

Large difference in electronegativity = Ionic

Small difference in electronegativity = Covalent

48
Q

Explain the formation of hydrogen bonding between protein molecules

A
  • C=O and N-H bonds are polar
  • O more electronegative than C, N more electronegative than H
  • H-bonding between Hpartial+ and Opartial- of different molecules
  • Using lone pair of electrons from oxygen
49
Q

Why does the boiling point of fluorine compounds not fit into other trends?

A
  • Unexpectedly high
  • Due to hydrogen bonding
  • Caused by large differences in electronegativity of fluorine and other element
50
Q

Give an equation for a reaction in which a co-ordinate bond is formed

A

NH₃ + H⁺ → NH4⁺

51
Q

Why is aluminium chloride covalent rather than ionic?

A
  • Smaller electronegativity difference

- So more equal sharing

52
Q

How do you know if two atoms will bond ionically of covalently?

A

Ionic = Big electronegativity difference

Covalent = Small electronegativity difference

53
Q

How does hydrogen bonding work?

A

Hpartial+ attracted to lone pair of another partially negative molecule

54

55
Q

Why does a lone pair of electrons repel more strongly than a bonding pair?

More compact
