Q

Why is the solution produced from when magnesium reacts with cold water weakly alkaline?

A
  • Magnesium is not very soluble in water as its lattice is stronger
  • it’s sparingly soluble so few hydroxide ions are produced

Q

Why does Al2O3 have a lower melting point than MgO?

A
  • ∵ of difference in electronegativity between Al and O isn’t as large as between Mg and O
  • Means oxygen ions in Al2O3 don’t attract electrons in metal-oxygen bond as strongly MgO
  • Makes bonds in Al2O3 partially covalent

Q

What do ionic compounds exert?

A
  • Non-directional electrostatic attraction forces
  • Size of ion decreases across period so can pack more O2- ions around aluminium ion than sodium ion as it is non-directional
27
Q

Ionic oxides are

A

Alkaline

28
Q

Covalent oxides are

A

Acidic

29
Q

Explain why covalent oxides (e.g. oxides of phosphorus and sulfur) are acidic

A

They dissociate in solution forming hydrogen ions and negative ion (called conjugate base)

30
Q

Explain why ionic oxides are alkaline

A
  • Ionic oxides (of Na and Mg) contain oxide ions (O2-)
  • When they dissolve in water, O2- ions accept protons from water molecules to form hydroxide ions
31
Q

What are the 2 assumptions the perfect ionic model is based on:

A
  1. Bonding in compounds is 100% ionic
  2. Ions are regarded as point charges or perfect spheres and are not distorted

A
33
Q

A
34
Q

Describe the meanings of values in tables in relation to the perfect ionic model

A
  • If there is no/ little value differences then it is ionic
  • If there is a difference and the larger the difference means the greater the covalent character
35
Q

Simple covalent oxides of non-metals phosphorus and sulfur form acidic solutions that are ___ so the pH is around ___
