Q

Describe giant ionic bonding in metal oxides and why they have high melting and boiling points

A

Strong forces of attraction between ions so have a high melting point. Ionic because of large difference in electronegativity between metal and oxygen.

Larger the charge on the cation the stronger the ionic forces.

Q

Why does Al2O3 show some covalent characteristics?

A

There is a smaller electronegativity difference between the atoms. The small aluminium atom has a high charge and is able to get close to the oxide ion and distort the oxide charge cloud.

Q

Describe why macromolecules e.g. SiO2 have very high melting and boiling points

A

It has many strong covalent bonds between atoms. High energy needs to break the many strong covalent bonds.

Q

Describe the IMF and bonding in simple molecular oxides e.g. P4O10, SO2 and why they have low melting and boiling points

A

They have weak intermolecular forces of Van der Waals and permanent dipole. They are covalent because they have a small electronegativity difference between non-metal and oxygen atoms.

Q

Describe why P4O10 has a higher melting point than SO2

A

It is a bigger molecule and has more electrons so has a larger surface area for intermolecular forces to act on so larger Van der Waals forces.

Q

Why does aluminium oxide not corrode?

A

The high lattice strength of aluminium oxide and its insolubility in water make it impermeable to air and water.

Q

Why is Mg(OH)2 only slightly soluble in water?

A

Q

What is the ionic equation for the reaction of magnesium oxide and water and what is the pH?

A

MgO(s) + H2O(l) > Mg2+ + 2OH-

pH 10 (lower than sodium oxide as fewer OH- ions are produced)

22
Q

Why do Al2O3 and SiO2 not dissolve in water?

A

Al2O3 has a strong ionic lattice.

Q

Why is MgO better for treating acidic rivers and the stomach than NaOH?

A

It is sparingly soluble and weakly alkaline so using an excess would not make the water excessively alkaline.
