Q

Metallic bonding

A

Metallic bonding is the strong electrostatic attraction of positive metal ions surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons.

Q

Conductivity of metals

A

All metals are good electrical and thermal conductors. They are good conductors of heat because the delocalised electrons help transfer energy through the metal very efficiently. The delocalised electrons can also flow and hence metals can also conduct electricity very well.

Q

Strength of metals

A

The majority of metals are very strong as there is a strong electrostatic attraction between the positive metal ions and delocalised electrons. The strength of the metallic bonding depends on the balance between the charge on the metal ions, the size of the metal ions and the number of electrons in the sea of delocalised electrons. The strongest metals have ions which are small, have a large positive charge, and many delocalised electrons.

Q

Malleable and Ductile Metals

A

Metals can be hammered into shape (are malleable) and can be pulled into wires (are ductile) because rows of metal ions can slide past one another. If the ion lattice changes shape the delocalised electrons will still move with the ions to continue holding them together.

Q

Melting and Boiling Points of Metals

A

This is directly linked to the strength of the metallic bonds. The stronger they are, the higher the melting point and boiling point will be.

Q

How to tell if a molecule will have permanent dipole forces?

A

it has high difference in electronegativity between its atoms but if it is spread evenly then the dipole cancels out

Q

What is the bond angle of a molecule with a tetrahedral shape?

A

109.5

22
Q

Explain why tetrahedral molecules have that bond angle?

A

electron pairs repel equally/electron pairs repel to be as far apart as possible

23
Q

What are intramolecular forces?

A

forces within a molecule and are usually covalent bonds

24
Q

Give examples of types intramolecular forces

A

single, double, triple covalent bonds and coordinate bonds

25
Q

What are intermolecular forces?

A

weaker (than intramolecular) forces between the molecules

26
Q

What are the three types of intermolecular forces?

A
  • induced dipole-dipole forces
  • permanent dipole-dipole forces
  • hydrogen bonding (special type of permanent dipole-dipole forces)
27
Q

What are induced dipole-dipole forces also known as?

A

van der Waals or London dispersion forces

28
Q

Which force is stronger: covalent bonding or hydrogen bonding?

A

covalent bonding

29
Q

Which force is stronger: permanent dipole-dipole forces or hydrogen bonding?

A

hydrogen bonding

30
Q

Which force is stronger: instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces or permanent dipole-dipole forces?

A

permanent dipole-dipole forces

31
Q

Which force is stronger: covalent bonding or instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces?

A

covalent bonding

32
Q

Which force is stronger: hydrogen bonding or instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces?

A

hydrogen bonding

33
Q

When is a covalent bond non-polar?

A

when two atoms in a covalent bond have the same electronegativity

34
Q

When is covalent bond polar?

A

when the two atoms in a covalent bond have different electronegativities

35
Q

Where are electrons drawn to in a polar covalent bond?

A

the more electronegative atom

36
Q

What word is used to describe the electron distribution in a polar covalent bond?

A

asymmetric

37
Q

What makes a covalent bond more polar?

A

a greater difference in electronegativity

38
Q

What type of molecules have permanent dipoles?

A

polar molecules

39
Q

What is meant by a permanent dipole?

A

the molecule will always have a negatively charged end and a positively charged end

40
Q

What are the forces between two molecules that have permanent dipoles called?

A

permanent dipole-dipole forces

41
Q

How do permanent dipole-dipole forces occur?

A

the slightly positive end of the dipole in one polar molecule and the slightly negative end of the dipole in a neighbouring polar molecule are attracted towards each other

42
Q

What molecules do induced dipole-dipole forces exist between?

A

between all atoms or molecules

43
Q

How do instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces occur?

A

1, in a non-polar molecule, the electron cloud moves creating a (temporary) instantaneous dipole
2, as the instantaneous dipole approaches another non-polar molecule, it induces a dipole in the neighbouring non-polar molecule
3, the slightly positive end of the dipole in one molecule and the slightly negative end of the dipole in a neighbouring molecule are attracted towards each other

44
Q

How are temporary dipoles created in non-polar molecules/atoms?

A
  • the electron charge cloud in non-polar molecules or atoms are constantly moving
  • during this movement, the electron charge cloud can be more on one side of the atom or molecule than the other
  • this causes a temporary dipole to arise
45
Q

For small molecules with the same number of electrons which is stronger permanent dipoles or induced dipoles?

A

permanent dipoles

46
Q

What is the strongest form of intermolecular bonding?

A

hydrogen bonding

47
Q

Hydrogen bonding is a type of what type of bonding?

A

permanent dipole-permanent dipole bonding

48
Q

What is needed for hydrogen bonding to take place?

A

a species which has an O, N or F (very electronegative) atom bonded to a hydrogen

49
Q

How do hydrogen bonds occur?

A
  • when hydrogen is covalently bonded to an O, N or F the bond becomes highly polarised
  • the H becomes so ‘delta’ positively charged that is can form a bond with the lone pair of an O, N or F atom in another molecule
50
Q

What is the shape of the molecule with 4 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs?

A

square planar

51
Q

Which repel more: lone pairs or bond pairs?

A

lone pairs

52
Q

If two molecules both only have vdW forces, which one will have stronger/more vdW forces?

A

the molecule with:
- larger Mr/more electrons/larger molecules
