Q

what is electron repulsion theory

A

electron pairs repel each other
electron pairs are far way from each other as possible so are arranged as far as possible
arrangement of electron pairs minimises repulsion as far as possible and holds bonded atom in a definite shape

Q

intermolecular forces-
give three types
Bond enthalphy

A

weak interactions between dipoles of different molecules
-london forces, permanent dipole-dipole interactions,h bonding

Q

what are London forces and how do they occur

A
  • weak if forces that exist between all molecules regardless of polarity, electrons are constantly moving, so can gather at one point in the atom causing an instaneous dipole, which induces instaneous dipoles in neighbouring molecules , these all together form a dipole

Q

how do more electrons impact London forces?

A
  • more electrons will mean a larger instaneous dipole forming as more electrons gathering at the same place so there will be larger induced reactions as the attractive forces between molecules are stronger so more energy needed to break these IM forces

Q

why does p dipole-dipole interactions require more energy to break

A

you need to overcome London forces and P d-d Interactions

Q

why are polar substance unable to dissolve in non polar substances

A

as the iM forces between both don’t attract each other and the intermolecular bonding between polar molecules are too strong to be broken down so they don’t dissolve

Q

Define hydrogen bonding

A

type of permeant dipole-dipole interaction involving an electronegative atom with a lone pair of electrons and a hydrogen atom attached to the atom

Q

why is soild ice less dense in water

A

as hydrogen bonds hold water molecules further apart when frozen and solid in an open lattice structure
the two lone pairs and two hydrogen atoms hold water molecules apart at 180 degrees
