Q

Physical properties of compounds with ionic bonding.

A
  1. Dissolve in water as water molecules are polar, can attract the positive and negative ions to break up the structure.
  2. Conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in solution as ions are free to move around.
  3. High mp = many strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions. Lots of energy needed to break the bonds.

Q

Covalent bond.

A

Sharing of outer electrons in order to for atoms to obtain a full outer shell.

Electrostatic force of attraction between the shared electrons and the positive nucleus.

Can be single, double or triple covalent bonds. = more electrons being shared.

Can be represented by lines too.

Q

Dative covalent bonding or coordinate bonding.

A

When one atom donates 2 electrons to an atom or ion to form a bond. i.e NH3 forms a dative covalent bond with H+ as nitrogen donates to 2 electrons to the H+ and forms
H+

Q

Giant covalent structures.

A

Graphite:
C = bonded x3 with 4th electron delocalised.

Layers can slide easily = weak forces between layers.

Delocalised electrons between layers = conduct electricity = carry a charge.

Low density = layers far apart compared to covalent bond length.

High mp = lots of strong covalent bonds

Insoluble = covalent bonds are too strong to break.

Diamond:
C = bonded x4 in tetrahedral shape.

Conduct heat well = tightly packed and rigid structure.

Can be cut into gemstones unlike diamond.

Very high mp = mant strong covalent bonds = very hard.

Doesn’t conduct electricirty = no delocalised electrons.

Insoluble = Covalent bonds too strong to break.

Q

Why do molecules have a specific shape with specific angles?

A

Bonds repel each other equally
bonds contain electrons so they will want to be as far apart as possible.

Q

Does a lone pair or bond pair repel more?

A

Lone pair.
Lp push bp closer together
Generally each lp reduce remaining bonding angle by 2.5 *

Lone pair next to 2 bp repel more:
109 * (with no lp and 4x just bp)
107 * (with one lp and 3x bp)
104.5 * (with two lp and 2 bp)

Q

How many bp and lp NH4^+ has

shape with no lone pairs.

A

With IONS add electrons if negative ion and minus if positive ion.

NH4^+
Nitrogen has 5 electrons but now has 4 bp only.

BP = 4
LP = 0
Total = 4

Q

Electronegativity

A

Ability for an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a covalent bond.

Further and up right you go (excluding noble gas) the more EN element is.

Fluroine = most EN

Q

Electronegativity = pauling scale.

A

Element = EN
H = 2.0
C = 2.6
N = 3.0
Cl = 3.0
O = 3.4
F = 4.0

Bigger the difference in EN the more polar the bond is.

Q

Polar bonds.

A

Covalent bonds become polar if the atoms attached to it have a difference in EN

The bigger the difference the more polar the bond will be.

symmetrical polar bonds i.e CO2 = C = delta + O2= delta - but have no overall polarity due to symmetrical arrangement.

16
Q

Van der waals

A

induced dipole dipole
forces that exist between atoms and molecules.
Can hold some molecules in a crystal structure i.e. iodine = I2

17
Q

Intermolecular forces strength.
strongest to weakest

A

Hydrogen bonding
permenant dipole dipole
Van der waals

18
Q

Why would you have more VDW forces in a bigger molecule or atom?

A

The larger the electron clouds are.

19
Q

When boiling a liquid for example bromine what forces do we break?

A

VDW forces not covalent bonds.
There must be enough energy to overcome these forces.

20
Q

Between long straight hydrocarbon chains and branched hydrocarbons which one requires more energy to break the bonds?

A

Long straight hydrocarbons = more VDW forces, more energy required to overcome the forces, bp increases

Branched can’t pack closely together, weakens VDW forces between chains, lower bp.

21
Q

Permenant dipole dipole

A

exist in molecules with polarity.
stronger than VDW.
molecules with permenant dipole dipole also have VDW forces.
Will be weak electrostatic forces between molecules with a polarity.

22
Q
A
23
Q

How to test polar molecules like water

A

place a charged rod near steady stream of polar liquid.
Liquid will bend towards to charged rod as molecules align to face the oppositely charged rod.

24
Q

Hydrogen bonding

A

strongest intermolecular force and occurs when you have EN elements.
FON forms hydrogen bonding.
represented by dotted line between lp and hydrogen
also contain permenant dipole dipole and VDW

25
Q

Why is ice less dense than water?

A

regular structure held by hydrogen bonding.
molecules are futher apart which is what makes it less dense than water.

26
Q

Boiling points of hydrogen halides.

A

HF has a higher boiling point than HCl = more hydrogen bonding.
more energy required to overcome the electrostatic forces.

HCl to HI increase in bp due to increase mass of molecule = bigger electron cloud = more VDW forces

27
Q

Metallic bonding.

A

giant metallic structures.
+ metal ion formed as metals donate electrons to form a sea of delocalised electrons.
Electrostatic attraction between positive metal ion and negative delocalised electrons.
More electrons an atom can donate to delocalised system = higher mp
i.e. Mg has higher mp than Na as Mg can donate 2 electrons but sodium can donate 1 electron.

28
Q

Physical properties of metallic bonding.

A

Good thermal conductors = delocalised electrons can transfer KE
High melting points = strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
Solid metals are insoluble = metallic bond too strong to break.
Good electrical conductors = delocalised electrons mobile and can carry a current.
