60
Q

First ionisation energy

A

The energy required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions

61
Q

3 factors affecting ionisation energy

A

Nuclear charge

Distance of the outermost electron from the nucleus

Electron shielding

62
Q

Nuclear charge

Effect on ionisation energy

A

The more protons the greater the nuclear charge

The greater the nuclear charge of stronger the nuclear attraction therefore a greater nuclear charge means more energy would be needed to overcome the attraction between the nucleus and the outer most electron

63
Q

Distance of the outermost electron from the nucleus (atomic radius)

Effect on ionisation energy

A

As the distance between the nucleus and the outer electron increases the attraction between them decreases the weaker the nuclear attraction the less energy needed to remove the outer electron

64
Q

Electron shielding

Effect on ionisation energy

A

Electron shielding is the repulsion between electrons from the inner shell and outer shell

This shielding effect reduces the overall nuclear attraction

The more inner shells there are the greater the shielding effect and the weaker the nuclear attraction meaning low ionisation energy

65
Q

Why boron ( group 3) has a lower first ionisation energy than beryllium (group 2)

A

The 2p sub shell in B has higher energy than the 2s subshell
The 2p1 electron in B needs less energy to be removed, giving Boron a lower first ionisations energy than beryllium

A

A measurement of covalent bond strength

78
Q

Shapes of molecules (3)

A

Q

Electronegativity

A

The ability of an atom to attract the bonding electrons towards itself in a covalent bond

87
Q

Symmetrical molecules

A

Non polar because the dipoles cancel out

88
Q

Unsymmetrical molecules

A

Contain one or more polar bonds, polar because the dipoles do not cancel out

89
Q

Intermolecular forces

3+3

A

Between ,molecules

Weaker than ionic or covalent bonds

Only found in covalent structures

Hydrogen bonds

Permanent dipole-dipole interactions

Induced dipole-dipole interactions

90
Q

Induced dipole-dipole interactions

A

Very weak

Between all molecules, polar and non-polar

An uneven distribution of electrons in a molecule causes a temporary(instantaneous) dipole
The temporary dipole causes an induced dipole in a neighbouring molecule
The delta+ of a dipole in one molecule attracts the delta- of a dipole in a neighbouring molecule to produce a London force

91
Q

Permanent dipole dipole interactions

A

Weak

Between polar molecules

Eg; the delta+ H of one HCl molecule attracts the delta- Cl of a neighbouring HCl molecule to produce a permanent dipole-dipole force of attraction between the molecules

92
Q

Which are stronger permanent or induced dipole-dipole

A

Permanent

93
Q

Hydrogen bonds

A

Strong dipole-dipole attraction between molecules containing O-H, N-H or F-H bonds

A hydrogen bond exists betweeen
Delta+ H atom in one molecule
A lone pair on a highly electronegative atom (delta- O or N or F) on another molecule

Strongest type of inter molecule force

94
Q

Anomalous properties of water

2

A

Ice is less dense than water;
In soli H2O molecules are held further apart by the hydrogen bonds , gives the ice an open lattice structure

Water has relatively high melting and boiling points;
Water has a higher than expected melting and boiling point
Hydrogen bonds are relatively strong and therefore stronger than other intermolecular forces, so more energy is needed to break the hydrogen bonds

95
Q

Metallic bonding

A

The strong electrostatic attraction of a lattice of cations to a ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons

96
Q

Giant

A

Strong forces

97
Q

2 physical properties of metals h

A

High melting and boiling point= strong electrostatic attraction between the lattice of cations and delocalised electrons which require lots of energy to break

Good electrical conductors= in both solid and liquid states as delocalised electrons can move and carry charge

98
Q

Ionic compound

A

The solid structure of a giant ionic lattice results from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions

99
Q

4 properties of ionic compounds

A

High melting an boiling point= strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions splits of energy needed to break ionic bonds, all solid at room temperature

Non electrical conductor when solid= ions are fixed in their position in the lattice and cannot move

Good electrical conductors when molten or in aqueous solution= ions are able to move and carry charge

Soluble in water-= polar water molecules are attracted to the positive and negative ions and the giant ionic lattice breaks down. Water molecules completely surround the ions

100
Q

Simple means

A

Weak forces

101
Q

Simple covalent compounds

A

Simple covalent lattices are solid structures made up of small, simple molecules with weak forces of attractions betweeen the molecules (INTERmolecular forces)

The atoms within the molecules are bonding together by strong covalent bonds (INTRAmolecular covalent bonds)

102
Q

3 physical properties of simple molecular lattices

A

Low melting and boiling point- little energy is needed to overcome the weak forces of attraction between the molecules(weak intermolecular forces)

Non conductors of electricity- no mobile ions or electrons (charge carriers) all electrons are fixed in covalent bonds and cant move

Soluble in non polar solvents- the simple molecules can form induced dipole-dipole forces with the non polar solvent molecules

103
Q

Giant covalent lattice structures

A

Solids which are networks of atoms bonded together by strong covalent bonds

104
Q

Diamond

3

A

C atom covalently bonds to 4 Others in tetrahedral shape

Very high melting point= all strong covalent bonds between C atoms so lots of heat energy needed to break the covalent bonds

Doesnt conduct electricity= no ions or mobile electrons, all electrons fixed in covalent bonds

105
Q

Graphite

3

A

Carbon, three of the four outer electrons are used n covalent binding form planar hexagonal layers

One electron from each atom is delocalised and can move between the layers of hexagons, allowing graphite to conduct electricity

High melting point as there are many strong covalent bonds between C atoms so lots of heat energy needed to break the covalent bonds

106
Q

Graphene

2

A

Form of carbon, consisting of a single layer of graphite, composed of hexagonally arranged carbon atoms linked by strong covalent bonds

Can be rolled into nanotubules
