Q

What is the electron-pair repulsion theory?

A

26
Q

When is a bond non-polar?

A

1) bonded atoms are the same
OR
2) bonded atoms have same/similar electronegativity

27
Q

Do non-polar solvents mix with water?

A

no

28
Q

What is the separation of opposite charges?

A

dipole

29
Q

What is a permanent dipole?

A

a dipole in a polar covalent bond

30
Q

Why is a carbon dioxide, CO₂, molecule non-polar?

A

1) C=O bonds have a permanent dipole
2) dipoles act in opposite directions
3) dipoles cancel and overall dipole is 0

31
Q

What are intermolecular forces?

A

weak interactions between dipoles of different molecules

32
Q

What are the types of intermolecular forces?

A

1) induced dipole-dipole interactions (London forces)
2) permanent dipole-dipole interactions
3) hydrogen bonding

33
Q

Are London forces strong or weak?

A

weak

34
Q

Do London forces exist between all or some molecules?

A

all

35
Q

What do London forces act between?

A

induced dipoles

36
Q

What is the origin of induced dipoles?

A

1) instantaneous dipole exists at any instant
2) instantaneous dipole induces dipole on neighbouring molecule
3) induced dipole induces further dipoles on neighbouring molecules

37
Q

Are induced dipoles permanent or temporary?

A

temporary

38
Q

The more electrons in a molecule, the … the instantaneous and induced dipoles.

A

larger

39
Q

The more electrons in a molecule, the … the induced dipole-dipole interactions.

A

greater

40
Q

The more electrons in a molecule, the … the attractive forces between molecules.

A

stronger

41
Q

What do permanent dipole-dipole interactions act between?

A

permanent dipoles in polar molecules

42
Q

What are the molecule in a simple molecular lattice held in place by?

A

weak intermolecular forces

43
Q

How are the atoms within each molecule of a simple molecular lattice bonded?

A

strongly by covalent bonds

44
Q

How can the weak intermolecular forces in a simple molecular lattice be broken?

A

by the energy present at low temperatures

45
Q

Do simple molecular substances have low or high melting and boiling points?

A

low

46
Q

When a simple molecular lattice is melted, what breaks?

A

only weak intermolecular forces

47
Q

Are simple molecular substances soluble or insoluble in non-polar solvents?

A

soluble

48
Q

Are simple molecular substances soluble or insoluble in polar solvents?

A

insoluble

49
Q

Why are simple molecular substances insoluble in polar solvents?

A

1) little interaction between molecules in lattice and solvent molecules
2) intermolecular bonding in polar solvent too strong to be broken

50
Q

Why can polar covalent substances dissolve in polar solvents?

A

polar solute molecules and polar solvent molecules attract each other

51
Q

Are simple molecular structures conductors or non-conductors of electricity?

A

non-conductors

52
Q

Why are simple molecular structures non-conductors of electricity?

A

55
Q

What are the electronegative atoms with a lone pair of electrons that undergo hydrogen bonding?

A

2) oxygen
3) fluorine

56
Q

What are the strongest type of intermolecular attractions?

Q

How is a hydrogen bond shown?

A

dashed line

58
Q

Is ice more or less dense than water?

A

less

59
Q

Why is solid ice less dense than liquid water?

A

2) water molecules in ice further apart than water
3) solid ice less dense than liquid water + floats

60
Q

Does water have a high or low melting and boiling point?

A

high

61
Q

Why does water have a high melting and boiling point?

A

1) hydrogen bonds are extra forces, over London forces

2) large quantity of energy needed to break hydrogen bonds in water
