45
Q

What is the structure of ionic compounds

A
  • Oppositely charged ions attract each other strongly
  • Each ion attracts oppositely charged ions in all directions
  • In the solid state, the ions build up into a giant ionic lattice
  • Ions are closely packed in a regular lattice arrangement

47
Q

What are the properties of ionic compounds

A
  • Solid at room temperature
  • High melting and boiling points
  • Tend to dissolve in polar solvents such as water
  • Conduct electricity only when molten or in aqueous solution (not when solid
48
Q

Why are ionic compounds solid at room temperature

A

At room temperature there isn’t energy to overcome electrostatic attractive forces between cations and anions in the giant ionic lattice

49
Q

Why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points

A
  • Large electrostatic attractive forces between cations and anions in the giant ionic lattice
  • High temperatures are needed to provide the energy required to overcome these forces
  • Therefore most ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points
50
Q

What 2 factors affect melting and boiling point of ions

A
  • Ionic charges
  • Size of ions
51
Q

How does the ionic charge affect the strength of the bond

A

The strength of the ionic bond increases when the charge on the ions increases

52
Q

How does the sixe of the ions affect the strength of the bond

The strength of the ionic bond increases when the size of the ions decreases

53
Q

Do ionic compounds tend to dissolve in polar solvents such as water

A

Yes

54
Q

Can ionic compounds conduct electricity in solid state

A

No

55
Q

Why can’t ionic compounds conduct electricity in solid state

A
  • Ions held in fixed positions in giant ionic lattice
  • No mobile charge carriers
  • No electrical conductivity
56
Q

Why can ionic compounds conduct electricity in liquid or aqueous state

A
  • Ions are free to move
  • Ions are mobile charge carriers

A

H — H

64
Q

Is a covalent bond localised

A

Yes

65
Q

Where is a covalent bond localised

A

The electrostatic attraction is localised and is solely between the shared pair of electrons in the covalent bond and the nuclei of the bonding atoms

66
Q

True or False:

An ion attracts oppositely charged ions in all directions resulting in a giant ionic lattice

A

True

67
Q

What is a shared pair of electrons called

A

A shared pair of electrons is called a bonded pair of electron

68
Q

What is a pair of non-bonding electrons called

71
Q

What is a double covalent bond

A

The electrostatic attraction is between two shared pairs of electrons and the nuclei of the bonding atoms

72
Q

What is a triple covalent bond

A

The electrostatic attraction is between three shared pairs of electrons and the nuclei of the bonding atoms

73
Q

What is a dative covalent bond

A

A shared pair of electrons in which the bonded pair has been provided by one of the bonding atoms only. Shown as an arrow, with the arrow pointing away from the atom that contributes both electrons
