Q

What is the bonding tendency of group 4 elements and why

A

Do not gain or lose electrons so don’t form ions. Because the energy involved to transfer electrons is too large to be favourable. They react to form a different type of bond

Q

What is the ionic bond model

A
  • electrostatic force between ions which are small, spherical, charged particles attracting eachother
  • electrons are transferred completely from on outer shell to another atom’s so do not physically affect electrons of each other

Q

What are 3 properties of ionic compounds and explain each

A
  • high melting and boiling points due to strong electrostatic force between oppositely charged ions
  • conduct electricity when molten or aqueous but not in solid state, because ions are free to move only when molten or dissolved in water
  • brittle and cleave (spilt as cut) along planes because ions of same charge come closer as crystal planes slide over each other so they repel strongly
  • soluble in polar (water) solvents but not in organic ones (benzene)

Describe how ionic compounds dissolve in water

A

Water is polar. It has a separation of charge though partial. At contact surface molecules are attracted to ions of opp charge in the lattice which may cause ions to dislodge from their positions and become surrounded by molecules are said to hydrated and hence dissolves

Q

How is covalent bonding done

A

Non metal atoms share electrons so each atom has a stable configuration in the outer shell

The shared electrons are concentrated between and simultaneously attracted by both nuclei so they can contribute to each atoms structure.

This is only possible if electrons are strongly localised between atoms

Q

State how bond length varies in single and multiple bonds

  • > The greater pulling power on nuclei brings them closer resulting in shorter and stronger bonds than single
  • > Hence length in multiple bonds is shorter, but enthalpy is greater

How is bonding in a molecule of Ammonia

A

NH3
N is central atom. Valence 5, 3 of which bond with 3 Hydrogen atoms. These repel and get as far from each other as possible
2 are unused, ie the lone pair
Lone-bond repulsion is greater than bond-bond so lone pair pushes bond pairs closer than in a tetrahedral arrangement of electron clouds. This distorted tetrahedral is trigonal pyramidal
Bond angle is 107°

79
Q

What is the chemical bonding of water

A

H2O
O is central atom. 2 electrons of O used ti covalently bond with 2 H. These will repel.
4e valence of O will remain as 2 lone pairs, repel eachother equally.
Since lone-lone is greater than lone-bond or bond-bond repulsion, lone pairs repel and push bond pairs closer in distorted tetrahedral arrangement of electron clouds called bent.
Bond angle of bent is 104.5°

80
Q

Sulfur dioxide, SO2, has 4 bond pairs around S. What is the bond angle

A

4 bond pairs really count as 2. 1 in each direction. S has 1 lone pair still which repels bond pairs, and since it is greater than bond-bond they are pushed closer reducing bond angle from 120 (planar) to close to 118

Covalent character yo ionic bonds ie intermediate character as electrons appear yo be shares between cation and anion as electrons are pulled towards cation

115
Q

Ability of cation to polarize anion depends on

A

Strength of electric field used to pull electrons away from anion.
Electric field is based on charge density of cation.
Charge density is proportional to the charge to radius ratio, q/r, of cation.

So ion with small radius and high charge has high charge density and polarizing power

A

Weak intermolecular forces.
Aka Induced dipole forces. Aka London dispersion forces.

Electron cloud movements result in temporary dipole, as charge is more on one side of molecule for a moment.
This induces dipole on neighbouring molecule. As a result there are forces of attraction between p+ and p- between dipoles.

Strongest

138
Q

A

Intermolecular or intramolecular

Compounds of hydrogen with highly electronegative element eg F, O, N

139
Q

Why can H bonds be formed in compounds of hydrogen with highly electronegative element eg F, O, N

A

It difficult to polarise H atom.
It is small, has one electron closest to nucleus and no shielding electrons to lessen effect of proton. Hence a super electronegative atom to attract it.

And hydrogen exerts strong attractive force on lone pair of electronegative atom of neighbouring molecule

147
Q

Anomalous behavior of water is…

A

Ice has lower density than water and floats.
Water freezes to ice and increases volume, it contracts when temp is 0-4°C instead of expand. Water has max density at 4. This is unexpected as liquids increase in volume when temp increased/vv

148
Q

Explain the anomalous behavior of water

A

Due to crystal structure of ice. In solid ice molecules are near to form H bonds. Each water molecule surrounded by 4 others, tetrahedrally. Results in open spaces in ice lattice. Ice occupies more volume than the sane mass of water does. Hence density lower than liquid water.
When water heated from 0-4 H bonds break and free molecules escape into spaces causing shrink in volume and increase in density. This change dominates normal volume expansion up to 4°C. Father temp inc change is usual ie volume is increased

172
Q

Why do transition elements have strong metallic bonds

A

Large no of electrons that become delocalised

173
Q

Why are metals good conductors of electricity

A

Presense of mobile delocalised electrons in metallic lattice. Electrons move along wires and make up electric current. Flow of e into metal pushes the e near to it, pushing from one end of metal yo other. Electrons are free to move hence

174
Q

Metals are good heat conductors because

A

Heating one end increases kinetic energy of delocalised electrons. They vibrate to hit other nearby e. This continues from hotter end to colder until electrons transfer heat ti colder end. Metal is heat carrier

175
Q

Metals are malleable because

A

Diff metals have diff atom arrangement in structure. In each there’s strong metallic bonds between fixed +ve ions which in layers. When strong force applied, layers slip over to new positions keeping metallic bond intact. Or delocalised electrons move nondirectionally and randomly through lattice, bond intact. Thickness is reduced. Can similarly be bent/moulded into shapes
