Q

why do ionic compounds conduct?

A

if MOLTEN OR DISSOLVED the ions are free to move and carry charge

Q

why are ionic compounds usually soluble in water?

A

water molecules pull ions away from the lattice causing it to dissolve

16
Q

what is co-ordinate bonding?

A

when both the electrons come from the same species
the lone pair of electrons on an atom are donated

17
Q

what is the shape of a molecular ion when it has 2 electron pairs?

A

linear

18
Q

what is the bond angle of a linear molecule?

A

180

19
Q

what is the shape of a molecular ion when it has 3 electron pairs?

A

trigonal planar

20
Q

what is the bond angle of a trigonal planar molecule?

A

120

21
Q

what is the shape of a molecular ion when it has 4 electron pairs?

A

tetrahedral

22

A

109.5

23
Q

trigonal bipyramidal

24
Q

what are the bond angles of a trigonal bipyramidal molecule?

A

90 , 120

25
Q

what is the shape of a molecular ion when it has 6 electron pairs?

A

octahedral

26
Q

what is the bond angle of an octahedral molecule?

A

90

27
Q

what is electronegativity?

A

the power of an atom to attract the electrons in a covalent bond

28
Q

what factors affect electronegativity?

A

nuclear charge
atomic radius
shielding

29
Q

how does nuclear charge affect electronegativity?

A

bigger charge = more attraction

30
Q

how does atomic radius affect electronegativity?

A

smaller radius = more attraction

31
Q

how does shielding affect electronegativity?

A

less shells = less shielding = more attraction

32
Q

what are the trends in electronegativity in the periodic table?

A

increases ACROSS a period
increases UP a group

33
Q

why does electronegativity decrease across a group?

A
  • atomic structure increases so more shielding which means less attraction between nucleus and bonding pair
34
Q

why does electronegativity increase across a period?

A

atomic radius decreases
more nuclear charge
so stronger attraction

35
Q

what is a polar covalent bond?

A

covalent bond where the atoms are not shared equally

36
Q

when does a polar bond happen?

A

when two atoms in a covalent bond have a different electronegativity

37
Q

what are the three types of intermolecular forces?

A

van der waals
permanent dipole dipole
hydrogen bonding
