25
What is an ionic bond?
strong Electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions
26
Forming an ionic bond?
- between metal & non metal | - elements seek to gain a full outer shell of electrons
27
Dot and cross diagrams show the _______ __ __________?
Origin of electrons
28
Ionic structures?
- Exist in giant ionic lattices - each ion is surrounded in all directions - 3D lattice
29
Why do ionic substances have high melting and boiling points?
- solid at room temp e.g. salt NaCl - because ionic bonds are strong electrostatic forces of attraction and so large amounys or energy are needed to break these bonds
30
What is a polar solvent?
A dolbeny which contains polar bonds
31
Ionic substances are soluble in?
Polar solvents e.g. water
32
Why do polar bonds occur?
- are a result if the unequal distrubution of sharing of electrons within a bond - results in atoms having a slight charge - these slightly charged atoms can attract the charged ions within ionic lattices - the lattice becomes disrupted
33
Ionic substances - electrical conductivity?
They are electrolytes When this happens the previously solid lattice breaks down and the ions are now free to move - solid = ions fixed in place = no mobile chartge carriers - liquid - lattice breaks down = ions free to move = mobile charge carriers
34
What is an electrolyte?
They can conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water
35
Which 2 key factors determine the strength of an ionic bond?
- charge on the ions | - distance between the ions
36
Ions with greater charges will have ....
Greater electrostatic attractions between them and so form stronger bonds
37
Smaller ions...
- Have a smaller internuclear distance, meaning the electrostatic force of attraction is stronger ➡️ smaller ions firm stronger ionic bonds in more closely packed lattices
38
What is a covalent bond?
Strong electrostatic force of attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms
39
Covalent bonds....
Occur between 2 non metals - e.g Cl 2
40
Single covalent bond?
- involves ONE shared pair of electrons | - e.g. Cl 2, H 2 O
41
Multiple covalent bonding?
Involves more than 1 shared pair of electrons - e.g. O 2 - 2 shared pairs, double bond - e.g. - N 2 - 3 shared pairs - triple bond
42
Dative covalent bond?
- when both electrons in a bond are donated by the same atom. - equivalent to other covalent bonds - e.g NH 4
43
Simple molecular substances?
- Made up of small molecules - in solid state, exist as a lattice - simple molecules - within each molecule, the atoms are tightly held together by covalent bonds - weak intermolecular forces act betwern mols
44
Properties of simple molecular substances? M.p, B.P
- Low - weak intermolecular forces of attraction between mols - small amount of energy needed to disrupt thse forces
45
Simple molecular- solubility
- soluble in non polar solvents - 'like dissolves like' - weak intermolecular forces between molecules of non polar solvent are similar to that in simple molecular substances, ➡️ these forces these forces are able to act between the molecules of simple molecular substance and the solvent
46
Simple molecular - conductivity
- non conductors | - no charged particles are free to move and carry charge
47
Giant covalent substances?
- atoms are joined to adjacent atoms by strong covalent bonds - network of covalent bonds - giant lattice is formed - lots of covalsnt bonds throughout structure - e.g. diamond, graphite, silicon dioxide
48
Giant covalent substances- M.P & B.P
- strong covalent bonds exist throughout lattice | - lots of enerhy required to break thse bonds
49
Giant covalent- solubility?
- insoluble in polar & non polar solvents | - strong covalent bonds are not disrupted by either type of solvent
50
Giant covalent - conductivity
- non conductors- no charged particles that are free to move and carry current - EXCEPTION: GRAPHITE- between layers of the lattice, delocalised electrons r able to move , when voltage is applied these electrobs are free to move parallel to the layers
51
The shape of a compound or ion is dictated by?
- Number of electron pairs around the central atom | - the nature of these pairs- bonding or lone
52
Electron pair repulsion- bonding pairs
Pairs of electrons that are involved in bonding | These repel each other equally
53
Electron pair repulsion- lone pairs
- pairs of electrons that are not involved in bonding - lone pairs repeal each other more than bonding pairs because thy are more elecrron dense ☆ each lone pair reduces the bond angle by about 2.5 °C
54
The Octet rule?
- through chemical bonding, elements usually achieve a noble gas configuration - a full outer shell - Octet rule suggests 8 electrons in pairs will exist in the full outer shell where 4 electrons form full outer shells
55
Why is it not always possible to get 8 electrons in pairs in the outer shell?
There may be: - too few electrons to form an octet - more than enough electrons to form an octet
56
Not enough electrons- shrinking the octet?
- neither beryllium nor Boron have enough electrons to form an octet - the unpaired electrons will pair up - the element will not achieve an octet
57
Expanding the octet
- the bonding atom will have more than 8 electrons in its outer shell - can occur in group 15- 17, from period 3 downwards
58
what is a covalent bond?
strong electrostatic force of attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms
59
diagrams for ionic bonding remember?
- don't need to show transfers - square brackets with charge - valence shell electrons only
60
[ionic] the ions attract each other from all directions and form a ____ _____ ______
giant ionic lattice
61
metallic bonding definition?
metallic bonding is the strong electrostatic attraction between the cations and delocalised electrons
62
[metallic bonding] diagrams?
- metal ATOMS are close enough for outer shells to overlap and electrons can move throughout the outer shells of all atoms - write charge on ion - particles NEED to be TOUCHING
63
Why aren't they metal ions?
electrons are delocalised, not lost so not an ion
64
covalent bonding definition: atom?
smallest particle that makes up an element that can show the element's chemistry. Contains protons, neutrons, electrons
65
covalent bonding definition: electron?
a negatively charged subatomic particle with a relative mass of 1/1836 orbiting the nucleus in a shell.
66
covalent bonding definition: nucleus?
structure at the centre of the atom with an overall positive charge that contains protons & neutrons.
67
covalent bonding definition: : molecule?
a particle that has 2 or more non metal atoms bonded together covalent. Can be the same or different e.g. oxygen, CO2
68
covalent bonding definition: Ion?
an atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained electrons to have a + or - charge
69
covalent bonding definition: intermolecular forces
are BETWEEN molecules | - e.g. hydrogen bonds, permanent dipole forces or induced dipole forces
70

are WITHIN a molecule i.e. covalent bond
71

ab lone pair of electrons and an empty orbital
72

- highest energy electrons in the p subshell | - right block of 6 groups
76
d block?
- highest energy electrons in the d subshell | - centre blocks of 10 groups
77
why does 4s empty before 3d as well?
- energies of 4s and 3d subshells are very close together | - once filled, 3d energy level falls bellow 4s energy level
78
which ionic structures not be very soluble (in polar substances)?
- in a compound made of ions with large charges, the ionic attraction may be too strong for water to be able to break down the lattice structure.
79
solubility requires which 2 main processes?
- ionic lattice must be broken down - relative strngths of attractions within lattice - water molecules must attract and surround the ions
80
summary of properties of ionic compounds?
- high MP &BP - tend to dissolve in polar solvents such as H2O - only coduct in liquid state or aqueous solution
81

in a dative covalent bond, the shared pair was orginally a ?
lone pair of electrons on one of teh bonded atoms
85
solubility of non polar simple molecular substances?
when in non polar solvent = intermolecular foces form between molecules & solvent - the interactions weaken the IMF in the simple molecular lattice. the IMF break & compound dissolves
86
non polar simple molecular substance solubility in polar solvents?
- little interaction between molecules in lattice & solvent molecules - inter molecular bonding within the polar solvent is too strong to be broken
87
solubility of polar simple molecular in polar solevents?
- may dissolve in polar solvents - solubility depends on strength of dipole -
88
melting points of individual metals depends on?
no. of delocalised electrons per atom | - metals with more delocalised electrons will have a higher MP
