Q

Definition of isoelectronic

A

I saw electronic – two ions that possess the same electronic configuration

17
Q

Definition of ionic bonding

A

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions

18
Q

What do ionic compounds look like?

A

And it compounds from giant ionic lattices as charged ions attract oppositely charged ions in all directions

19
Q

Why are ionic compounds solid at room temperature?

A

Ionic compounds are solid at room temperature as there is insufficient energy to overcome the electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions in the lattice

20
Q

Why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points

A

Ionic compounds have high melting points and boiling points because lots of energy is needed to overcome the electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions in all directions. Ionic compounds with greater charges have higher melting and boiling points

21
Q

Are ionic compounds soluble?

A

Ionic compounds are soluble in polar solvents such as water as the polar molecules are Attracted to the irons and pull them away from the lattice causing them to dissolve

22
Q

Do ionic compounds conduct electricity?

A

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten or dissolved as the ions are free to move as mobile charge carriers

23
Q

Definition of a covalent bond

A

A covalent bond is strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms

24
Q

Covalent bonding which elements are exceptions to the octet rule?

A

Boron, Phosphorus, sulphur and chlorine are exceptions to the octet rule

25
Q

What covalent molecule does boron form that is an exception to the octet rule?

A

Boron forms BF3

26
Q

What covalent molecules does Phosphorus form that is an exception to the octet rule?

A

PF3 and PF5

27
Q

What covalent molecules does Sulfur form that is an exception to the octet rule?

A

SF2, SF4 and SF6

28
Q

What covalent molecules does Chlorine form that is an exception to the octet rule?

A

ClF, ClF3, ClF5 and ClF7

29
Q

What is a dative covalent bond?

A

A dative covalent bond is where both electrons are donated from one atom

30
Q

What is average bond enthalpy

A

Average bond enthalpy is a measurement of covalent bond strength. The larger the bond enthalpy the stronger the bond
