Q

Explain ionic bonding in sodium chloride?

A

Sodium transfers an electron to chlorine. Sodium becomes a 1+ ion. Chlorine gain an electron forming a 1- ion. There is an attraction between Na+ and Cl- ions as one sodium atom can only satisfy one chlorine atom this is called the ionic bond

Q

Explain why ionic compounds are solids at room temperature/ have high melting and boiling points?

A
  • strong electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions
  • a lot of energy is needed to overcome these strong forces
  • so at room temperature all ionic compounds are solids with high melting and boiling points

Q

Why is the melting point of CaF2 is higher than CaCl2?

A
  • fluoride ion is smaller than chloride ion
  • so there is a greater force of attraction between the calcium ion and the fluoride ion so more energy is needed to overcome these forces between the ions

Q

Why does electronegativity decrease down a group?

A
  • Due to an increase in atomic radii.
  • The covalent bond electron pair is further away from the nuclear charge and is shielded by the inner electrons.
  • Therefore the atom is less able to withdraw electron density from the covalent bond

Q

Explain why does electronegativity increase across a period?

A

49
Q

Explain why hydrogen chloride is a polar molecule?

A
  • the more electronegative chlorine has a greater share of the electron cloud so is slightly negative
  • the less electronegative hydrogen has slightly less electron density so is slight positive
  • the charge separation created an electric dipole so the bond is said to be polar
  • the hydrogen-chlorine bond is polar so hydrogen chloride is a polar molecule
50
Q

Explain why water is a polar molecule?

A
  • The more electronegative atom attracts the electron pair more strongly than hydrogen

51

55
Q

What is a temporary dipole?
Draw what a temporary dipole looks like.

A

So electrons are constantly moving, and at one instant there may be an unequal distribution of the electron cloud this results in a temporary dipole

56
Q

What causes a temporary induced dipole dipole molecule

A

The temporary dipole can induce a dipole on another neighbouring molecule

57
Q

Explain what are temporary induced dipole-dipole attractions?

A
  • there is an electrostatic force of attraction between the slightly negatively charged and slightly positively charged on a neighbouring molecule
  • These electrostatic forces of attraction between the temporary dipole and the induced dipole are Van Der waals forces
58
Q

Why do Van Der waals forces only operate for a short amount of time?

A

Because the electron cloud is constantly changing
These forces are constantly being switched on and off

59
Q

Why do Van Der waals forces have low melting and boiling points

A

Weak Abba Der callas forces require only a small amount of energy to overcome the forces

60
Q

The size of van Der waals forces increases as..?

A
  • the size of the molecule increases (larger electron cloud)
  • the points of contact between the molecules increases
61
Q

What does the boiling point increase down the halogens?

A
  • Going down a group the size of the halogen increase,
  • the size of the the electron cloud increases
  • amount of temporary electron cloud distortion increases
  • stronger Van Der waals forces so more energy needed to overcome these force s
62
Q

Is Van Der waals forces stronger or weaker in straight or benched chain isomers. Explain why?

A

Straight chain isomers have stronger forces than. Branched chain isomers have a lower boiling point than straight chain because Van Der waals forces are weaker molecules are more spherical so fewer points of contact

63
Q

permanent dipole-dipole forces

A
64
Q

Where does this type of bonding occur in? And why?

A

Polar bonding - pair of electrons in the bond are unequally shared/ both atoms have different electronegativity values

65
Q

how are polar molecules attracted by permanent dipole dipole forces

A

The permanent negative end of one molecule is attracted to the permanent positive end of another molecule (electrostatic attraction)

66
Q

Why do polar molecules have higher melting and boiling points than non - polar molecules?

A

Polar molecules have stronger permanent pole dipole intermolecular forces, greater amount of energy is needed to overcome these forces

67
Q

What is hydrogen bonding?

A

Hydrogen bonding is the attraction between a lone pair of electrons on a very electronegative atom (O,N,F) and a nearby slightly positive hydrogen which is directly bonded to O,N, or F on a neighbouring molecule

68
Q

Why can N, O, F form a hydrogen bond but not molecules such as chlorine?

A

Because they are small enough to approach the slightly positive hydrogen atom closely enough

69
Q

draw hydrogen bonding in hydrogen fluoride and water

A
70
Q

the chlorine atom has the same electronegativity as nitrogen, why can it not undergo hydrogen bonding?

A

the chlorine atom is too large to get close enough to the slightly positive hydrogen

71
Q

Explain why does ice have an open structure?

A
  • hydrogen bond in ice cause the water molecules to be slightly further apart than In liquid water
72
Q

Explain why ice floats on water?

A

Hydrogen bonds cause water molecules to be slightly further apart
- ice = openstructure
- density of solid water is less than liquid water hence why ice floats on water

73
Q

Explain the bonding and structure in ice?

A
  • each oxygen is linked to 4 hydrogens ( 2 covalent bond and 2 hydrogen)
  • in a 3D tetrahedral arrangement
  • 2 hydrogen bonds per water molecule

76
Q

When hydrogen bonding occurs it gives 2 types of secondary structure?

A

Alpha helix or beta pleated sheet - these structures are very stable

77
Q

are covalent or hydrogen bonds weaker?

A

Hydrogen bonds are weaker but they are the strongest type of IMF

78
Q

Why does boiling points of hydrides increase as you go go down the group in the periodic table?

A

As you go down size of molecule increases in size so there is an increase in IMF

79
Q

why is there stronger bonding in H2O than H2S?

A

because hydrogen bonding occurs between water molecules and only dipole-dipole forces exist between H2S

80
Q

Metalic bonding

A
81
Q

What is metalic bonding

A

Metallic bonding is the force of attraction between the delocalised electrons and the positive metal ions in a lattice

82
Q

What does the giant matallic lattice consist of?

A

Close packed metal ions surrounded by delocalised electrons

83
Q

What is meant by delocalised?

A

Ions or positive centres

85
Q

Draw a sketch of metallic bonding

A
86
Q

Why do metalic bonds have high melting and boiling points

A

Metalic bonds between the ions are strong.

87
Q

The strength of a metalic bond increases as..?

A
  • the charge on the positive ion increases
  • the size of the metal ion decreases
  • the number of mobile electrons per atom increases
88
Q

Why is sodium relatively weak?

A

Because each atom donated 1 electron to the sea

89
Q

Why is the strength of potassium weaker than sodium?

A

Because the ions are larger ( electron sea has a bigger volume to cover so is less effective at holding the ions together)

90
Q

Why is metalic bonding stronger in magnesium?

A

Because each atom has donated 2 electrons to the sea and each ion has a 2+ charge

91
Q

Draw a magnesium sketch

A
92
Q

Why are metals good conductors of electricity?

A

Because they have delocalised mobile electrons

93

95
Q

Metals are shiny they have a m…?

A

Metallic lustre

96
Q

What are metals malleable?

A

Metals can be hammered into shape (malleable) and drawn out into wires (ductile) because the planes of the ions can slide over each other

97
Q

How are ions packed together in a metalic crystal
