Q

Explain why an ionic structure made with 2+ and 2- ions will have a higher melting point than one with 1+ and 1- ions

A

Because the electrostatic attraction between the 2+ and 2- ions is stronger than the electrostatic attraction between 1+ and 1- ions so therefore more energy is needed ro overcome the bonds in a 2+ substance than a 1+ substance

A

Oxidation is the loss of electrons

62
Q

Q

Define electronegativity

A

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

64
Q

Explain the pauling scale in electronegativity

A

As you go up the (halogens reactivity direction) the electronegativity increases As you fo right from the metal side the electronegativity increases

65
Q

When the electronegativity difference is higher than ____ the bonding is _________ and if the difference is lower then the bonding is _________

A

1.7 Ionic Covalent

66
Q

How does a polar bond form

A

A polar bond forms when 2 atoms of differing electronegativity are bonded covalently

67
Q

Explain the polar bonding between hydrogen and fluorine

A

As fluorine has a higher electronegativity the electrons will be more attracted to hydrogen than fluorine meaning that the fluorine atom will have a partial negative charge and the hydrogen atom will have a partial positive charge and the molecule is said to be a dipole and a polar bond

68
Q

whether or not a molecule is polar depends on…..

A

whether the bonds are polar and the shape of the molecule

69
Q

For a molecule to be polar the molecule required ———- bonds with ———— that do not ———- —— due to their direction

A

polar dipoles cancel out

70
Q

Are symmetrical molecules non-polar or polar, why?

A

nonpolar because the dipoles in the molecule will cancel out due to their direction

71
Q

Define intermolecular forces

A

The forces of attraction between molecules which have covalent bonds

72
Q

What are the 3 main types of intermolecular forces?

A

Induced dipole dipole interactions - london forces Permanent dipole dipole interactions Hydrogen bonding

73
Q

How strong are london forces?

A

The weakest type of intermolecular force

74
Q

Do london forces exist between non polar forces, polar forces or both?

A

Both irrespective of whether they are polar or not

75
Q

What do london forces act between?

A

Induced dipoles

76
Q

Explain how london forces form

A

An instantaneous dipole will form due to fluctuations in electron density. This then induces a dipole on an adjacent molecule. This induced dipole will then induce a dipole on another molecule and london forces are made between the 2 induced dipoles

77
Q
A
78
Q

Are induced dipoles temporary or permanent?

A

Temporary

79
Q

What affects the strength of the london forces between dipoles? Why?

A

More electrons in an atom or molecule Because more electrons produce larger instantaneous and induced dipole so the induced dipole dipole attractions will be greater so the forces of attraction between the molecule will be stronger and this will mean that the boiling and melting points will be higher

80
Q

Which noble gas has the highest boiling point? Argon Neon Helium

A

Argon

81
Q

What do permanent dipole dipole interactions form between

A

Polar molecules

82
Q

In the solid state, simple molecules will exist in a ——— ——— lattice: The molecules are held together by ——— ————— forces ( the type depends on the molecule) The atoms within the molecule are held together by ———— —————- bonds

A

Simple molecular Weak intermolecular Strong covalent

83
Q

Why are melting points between simple molecular lattices weak?

A

Only the weak intermolecular forces need to be overcome to make it a liquid so the energy required is low

84
Q

Are non polar substances soluble in non polar solvents or polar solvents?

A

Non polar because the molecules form weak london forces with the molecules of the solvents and this weakens the intermolecular forces in the lattice and the substance disolves

85
Q

Some polar substances will dissolve in ———- solvents

A

Polar

86
Q

Are simple molecular substances conductors of electricity?

A

No because there are no mobile charge carriers

87

88
Q

What are the 3 atoms that form hydrogen bonds?

A

O N F

89
Q

Why is ice less dense than water?

A

The hydrogen bonds push the water molecules into a tetrahedral shape which takes up more space and this means it is less dense

90
Q

Why does water have high melting and boiling points?

A

The hydrogen bonds between then need more energy to overcome them and therefore both the melting point and boiling points are higher than expected

91
Q
