Q

What does the strength of a metal depend upon

A

Charge of the ion (more electrons in sea, stronger attraction) and size of the ion (nucleus closer to sea, stronger attraction)

Q

What occurs with electronegativity in a covalent bond

A

If there is a difference in electronegativity, this will produce a polar covalent bond. If the difference is too large, it will become a permanent dipole

16
Q

What are the three intermolecular forces

A

Van der Waals forces, dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonding

17
Q

What are Van der Waals forces

A

The electrons at one instant may tend to be further on one side than the other, this creates a dipole causing other atoms to have the same

18
Q

What do Van der Waals affect

A

All atoms at all times

19
Q

What are dipole-dipole forces

A

When a molecule has a dipole bond, which attracts each other. If the dipoles are symmetrical they can cancel each other

20
Q

What is hydrogen bonding

A

Stronge intermolecular force between a bond hydrogen bond with a heavily positive charge attracted to another atom, with a heavily negative charge, with a lone pair

21
Q

Explain hydrogen bonding in ice

A

Water has hydrogen bond and when it freezes, the hydrogen bonds form and create a diamond-like structure. This has a lower density, causing ice to float on water, enabling fish to survive in winter

22
Q

What are the types of crystal structures

A

Ionic, metallic, macromolecular and molecular

23
Q

What are crystals

A

Crystals are solids with a regular arrangement of particles

24
Q

Describe ionic crystals with example

A

Strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions such as sodium chloride. Attractions extend through the whole structure

25
Q

Describe metallic crystals with example

A

Attraction between lattice of positive ions and sea of delocalised electrons such as magnesium

26
Q

Describe molecular crystals

A

Intermolecular forces holding the covalent molecules together such as iodine. Large number of electrons so Van der Waals are strong enough to produce a solid crystal. But soft.

27
Q

Describe diamond

A

Macromolecular - covalent bonds between carbon atoms in 4 directions. Creating tetrahedral shape of 109.5 degrees. High melting point

28
Q

Describe graphite

A

Macromolecular - covalent bonds between carbon atoms in 3 directions. Shape of trigonal planar. Delocalised electrons. Weak intermolecular forces between layers. Conducts electricity but soft material

29
Q

How to draw hydrogen bonding

A

Dashed line, all charges, all lone pairs, 3 bonded atoms must be in a straight line, bond from lone pair to delta +

30
Q

What are the three elements that are electronegative enough to produce hydrogen bonding

A

Nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine

31
Q

Explain how dipole-dipole forces arise in hydrogen chloride

A

Difference in electronegativity produces a polarity, slightly negative charge from chlorine attracts the slightly positive charge from another hydrogen
