Properties

S-block/D-block

A
  • Mp = HIGH
    ↳Hard to seperate positive ions & delocalised electrons
  • Strength = HARD
  • Solubility = INSOLUBLE
  • Electricity = YES
    ↳ Already has delocalised electrons
  • Malleable & Ductile
    ↳ No real bonds holding the metal ions together, the layers are separated by electrons
38
Q

Ease of separation of ions

Depends on…

A
  1. Electron density of the cloud
  2. Ionic/Atomic size
39
Q

Ease of separation of ions

Instance 1)

A
  • Charge
  • Atomic Radius
40
Q

Ease of separation of ions

Instance 2)

A
  • Atomic Radius

    -larger atom
    ↳ more QL = more electrons
    -electron in outershell is FURTHER AWAY
    easier to lose
41
Q

Metals have Giant Structures too

Metals exist as giant metallic lattice structures.

A

Electrons in the outermost shell of the metal are delocalised.

The positive metal ions are electrostatically attracted to the negative delocalised electrons

Higher Charge of cathine = Smaller the Cathine = Stronger the Metallic Bond

42
Q

* 4 carbons TETRAHEDRALLY bonded

Silicon Dioxide SiOv2
* Oxygen atoms situated between each silicon atom

43
Q

* A thin layer of graphite
* Can conduct electricity
* Strong
* Light

44
Q

Giant Covalent & Metallic Structures

Properties

A
  • Mp = HIGH
    ↳ A lot of heat to break
  • Strength = EXTREMELY HARD
    ↳ Strong bonds
  • Thermal Conductor = GOOD
    ↳ They vibrate
  • Solubility = INSOLUBLE
    ↳ Do not contain ions

45
Q

All Chemical Bonds Properties

A
46
Q

Physical Attractions

Intermolecular = outside

A
  • Instantaneous/Induced (London Forces)
  • Permanent Dipole Interactions
  • Hydrogen Bonds
47
Q

Instantaneous/Induced (London Force)

A

Every compound in chem has a LONDON FORCE
* London forces take place where there are electrons

48
Q

Instantaneous/Induced (London Force)

Function

A
  • Electrons always move around an atom
    ↳ as they move, they would induce a slight charge & induce a neighbouring atom w the opposite charge

    This attraction is short/small → this is a London Force
  • Electrons still move & break this attraction

    everything is repeated

More electrons a compound has = higher the London Force

49
Q

Simple Molecular Lattice

A

In Iodine the molecules are held by covalent bonds to form Iv2. Between the molecules are London Forces

50
Q

Stronger London Force = Higher Mp/Bp

A
  • Less branches = higher Mp
    ↳ compound is getting longer when unbranched → meaning there are more electrons → the stronger the London Force
51
Q

Permanent Dipole

A

Somewhere in between Ionic charged & Covalent
* Occurs between molecules containing polar/ electronegative bonds

HCL & NHv3

52
Q

Permanent Dipoles occur as well as London Forces

A

Molecules that show London Forces in addition to Permanent Dipole will have a higher mp/bp than those than show only London Forces

F/O/N bonded w H = permanet dipole/polar/ → more energy needed to break

53
Q

Hydrogen Bonding

Definition

A

Occurs when hydrogen is bonded to flourine, nitrogen or oxygen

54
Q

Hydrogen Bonding

A
  • Water, ammonia & hydrogen flouride all show hydrogen bonding
  • Looking down group 7, the element becomes a permanent diapole
55
Q

Bp of Group 6 Hydrides

A
  • Hv2O is the highest as its the most electronegative
  • Hv2Se & Hv2Te are higher than Hv2S because they have a larger atomic radius, therefore there are more electrons which means a stronger LF
56
Q

Bp of Group 7

A
  • HF is the highest as its the most electronegative
  • HBr & HI are higher than HCl as they have a larger atomic radius, therefore there are more electrons which means a stronger LF

Trend is there’s a decrease in permanent dipole interactions

57
Q

Hydrogen Bonding explains Ice Floats on water

A
  • In ice,water molecules are arranged apart which wastes a lot of space
  • As ice melts, the hydrogen bonds break, the lattice breaks allowing air molecules to fill these spaces
  • This means ice is much less dense than water → so floats
58
Q

Shapes of Molecules

A
  • C-C single
  • C=C double
  • C≡C triple

Going down these bullet points the bonds become;
More rigid/strong
Shorter
Harded to break so more heat is needed as its harder to move/twist them

This is regardless the number of atoms on each other side

59

Q

Exception

A

-In Group 2 Be only forms a covalent bond
↳ because its more stable w sharing electrons than donating

67
Q

Reduced Octet

A

Are stable with less than 8 electrons around their central atom

68
Q

Expanded Octet

P in PClv5 or S in SFv6

A

Are stable with more than 8 electrons around their central atom

69
Q

Lone Pairs

A

Every lone pair that you introduce to a compound, you’ll decrease the bond angle by 2 1/2°
* Lone pairs repel each other
↳ pushing bond angles → bond angles are pushed inwards
