33
Q

Electronegativity

A

The relative attraction that an atom in a molecule has for its shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond

34
Q

What are some of the uses of electronegativity values?

A
  1. Predict which compounds are ionic and covalent

2. Predict the polarity of covalent molecules

35
Q

If the difference in electronegativity values is greater than 1.7, then the compound is …

A

… ionic !

36
Q

If the difference in electronegativity values is ~ 1.2 then the compound is …

A

.. highly polar covalent

37
Q

If the difference in electronegativity values is ~ 0.9 then the compound is …

A

…. polar covalent

38
Q

If the difference in electronegativity values is ~ 0.4 then the compound is …

A

… slightly polar covalent

39
Q

If the difference in electronegativity values is ~ 0 then the compound is …

A

… non polar / pure covalent

40
Q

Polar covalent bond

A

A bond in which there is unequal sharing of the pair (or pairs) of electrons. This causes one end of the bond to be slightly positive (δ⁺) and the other end to be slightly negative (δ⁻)

41
Q

Why are there some molecules that have polar bonds but overall the molecule is non-polar?

A

This occurs when the central atom is positively charged and the negatively charges outside atoms cancel each other out due to symmetry

42
Q

How might you show polarity experimentally?

A
  1. Allow liquid to flow from a burette
  2. Put a charged rod near the liquid
  3. If the liquid is moved by the rod it is polar (molecule has a charge)
  4. If the liquid is not deflected then it is non polar
43
Q

What is the solubility rule?

A

like dissolves in like

44
Q

Intramolecular bonding

A

Bonding that takes place within a molecule, i.e it holds the atoms together (ionic and covalent)

45
Q

Intermolecular bonding

A

Forces of attraction that exist between molucules:

  • Van der Waal
  • Dipole-dipole
  • Hydrogen bonding
46
Q

Van der Waal forces

A

Weak attractive forces between molecules resulting from the formation of temporary dipoles. They are the only forces of attraction between non-polar molecules

47
Q

How do Van der Waal forces form?

A

Temporary internal shift of electrons in a molecule lead to formation of temporary dipoles and small attractive forces

48
Q

Dipole-dipole forces

A

Attractive forces between the negative pole of one polar molecule and the positive pole of another polar molecule

49
Q

Hydrogen bonds

A

Particular types of dipole-dipole attractions between molecules in which hydrogen atoms are bonded to nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.
The hydrogen atom carries a partial positive charge and is attracted to the electronegative atom in the other molecule.
Thus, the hydrogen bond acts as a bridge between two electronegative atoms in separate molecules

50
Q

What is the range of boiling points for ionic compounds?

A

> 700°C

51
Q

What is the range of boiling points for covalent compounds?

A

<700°C

52
Q

What is the melting point of pure benzoic acid?

A

122.4°C

53
Q

A pure substance melts…

A

sharply

54
Q

An impure substance melts…

A

over a range of temps (e.g impure benzoic acid 114 - 118°C)
