Q

What happens in a covalent bond between different elements?

A

The nucleus charges are different
The atoms may be different sizes
the shared pair of electrons may be closer to one nucleus than the other.
The shared pair of electrons may now experience more attraction from one bonded atoms than the other

16
Q

What is the electronegative difference in a polar covalent bond?

A

0 to 1.8

17
Q

What is the electronegative difference in an ionic bond?

A

Greater than 1.8

18
Q

What happens if the electronegativity difference is larger?

A

1 bonded atom will have a much greater attraction for the shared pair than the other bonded atoms.

19
Q

What will an atom gain is it is more electronegative?

A

It will gain control of the electrons and the bond will therefore, be ionic rather than covalent

20
Q

What are non-polar bonds?

A

It is when the bonded electron pair is shared equally between the bonded atoms

21
Q

When will a bond be non-polar?

A

The bonded atoms are the same
or
The bonded atoms have the same or similar electronegativity

22
Q

What is a pure covalent bond?

A

It is molecules with the same elements and the electron pair os shared equally

23
Q

What are hydrocarbon liquids (such as hexane C6H14)?

A

They are non-solvent and do not mix with water

24
Q

What happens in a polar bond?

A

The bonded electron pair is shared unequally between the bonded atoms

25
Q

When will a bond be polar?

A

The bonded atoms are different

They have differnt electronegativity

26
Q

What bond is formed in hydrogen chloride and why?

A

the chlorine is more electronegative than hydrogen and therefore it is more has attraction for the bonded pair of electrons than the hydrogen.
For this reson it is a polar covalent bond

27
Q

The H-Cl is polarised, hwta does this mean?

A

the H-Cl is polarised with a small parcial positive charge H atom and small parical negative charge Cl atom

28
Q

What is meant by dipole?

A

It is the seperation of opposite charges

29
Q

What is ment by perament dipole?

A

A dipole in a polar covalent bond that doesn’t change

30
Q

In what why does the shape of the molecule affect the dipole?

A

The dipoles may reinforce one anther to produce a larger dipole over the whole molecule, or cancel out if the dipoles act in opposite directions

31
Q

What is the dipole of water and is it polar?

A

The dipole is going up and therefore it is polar

32
Q

What is the dipole of CO2 and is it polar?

A

The dipoles cancel each other out and is, therefore, non-polar

33
Q

What does a sodium chloride lattice form when it begins to dissolve in water and why?

A

It forms aqueous sodium a and chloride ions
water molecules attract Na+ and Cl- ions
The ionic lattice breaks down as it dissolves
Int the resulting solution water molecules surround the Na+ and the Cl-

34
Q

What do you see as a sodium chloride lattice begins to dissolve in water?

A

Na+ ions are attracted towards O in water

Cl- ions are attracted towards H in water
