Q

Lattice enthalpy is proportional to

A

Q+Q- / r+r-

Q + is the charge of cation.
Q- is the charge of anion.
r+ is the radius of cation.
r- is the radius of anion.

Q

Hydration enthalpy.

A

It is the energy released. When one mole of the compound is dissolved in excess of water.

In case of any other solvent, it is known as solvation enthalpy.
It will be always exothermic.

Q

The compound will be soluble only if

A

|HE| > |LE|

17
Q

Solubility is proportional to

A

the size difference between anion and cation.

Lesser the difference lesser will it be soluble.
Greater the difference more will it be soluble

F- and OH- are small anions.

18
Q

Find the solubility order of NaCl and NaF in nonpolar solvent,

A

NaCl > NaF

19
Q

In case of alkali metals the charge density of … is maximum

A

Li+ is maximum,
hence it attracts more number of water molecules and forms tertiary hydrated layre.
Hence ionic mobility of Li+ aq is least.

20
Q

Hydrated ion size

A

Li+ > Na+ > K+ > Rb+ > Cs+

F- > Cl- > Br- > I-

21
Q

Ionic Stability G1

A

Li+ < Na+ < K+ < Rb+ < Cs+

22
Q

Ionic size G1

A

Li+ < Na+ < K+ < Rb+ < Cs+

23
Q

Ionic mobility comparison in Li+aq and Be2+aq

A

Li+aq > Be2+aq

24
Q

Methods to draw dot and cross structure.

A

Generally central atom would be the least electronegative atom.

H and F will never be the central atoms.

The number of 0H bonds will be the basicity of the acid.

When the octet of an atom is completed and the lone pair is left, it can participate in coordinate bond formation.

Between any two atoms, only one coordinate bond is possible.

25
Q

Limitations of octet rule.

A

It was not able to explain the formation of electron deficient and species.

It was not able to explain the odd is electron molecules.

It was not able to explain the formation of super octet and expanded octet or hypervalent molecules

In case of third period elements and above in element that is in elements which can expand their octet, double bonds is preferred over coordinate bond.

26
Q

Criteria to draw the bond structure

A

The bond structure of a molecule should explain the properties of the molecule and bond structure we are able to draw by knowing the properties.

27
Q

Why does PH5 not exist?

A

In case of Ph5, due to less electronegativity of H atom, it is not able to excite the s orbital electrons of phosphorus into the d orbital and hence PH5 does not exist.

Same is the case with SH4 and SH6.

28
Q

What is homolytic Fission?

A

When in a single bond one electron is accepted by each atom in fission, it is known as homolytic fission.

In this case, free radicals are formed.

29
Q

Why do inert gases don’t form compounds

A

In case of inert gases, they do not form bond because of their octet is complete.

But in case of xenon due to its less ionization energy, it is able to form covalent bond with more electronegative elements like fluorine and oxygen.
