Q

The strength of ionic bonding depends on

What has this got to do with charge density

A

The bigger the charge on the ion, the stronger the electrostaic forces between ion

The smaller the ion, the stronger the electrostattic attraction between ions, as they can pack together more tightly

Having a small ion and large charge, will lead to a high charge density

Q

What are the 3 main properties of ionic compounds

A

high relatively high melting temperatures due to strong electrostaitc forces

can conduct electricity when molten or in aqueous solutions due to ions being able to move around

brittle, as layers can slide

Dissolve in water, as water molcules are polar, and attract the negative and positive ions

Q

Are ionic compounds soluable in water

and why

A
  • Ionic compounds are soluble in water because the positive ions will separate and becomes surrounded by electronegative oxygen molecules forming and ion-dipoles interaction.
  • Negative ions will be removed from the lattice and become surrounded by hydrogen molecules forming hydrogen bonds.
  • The energy for this is supplied by hydration energy

25
Q

What is a discrete molecule

A
  • Is an electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
  • This means that the central atom does not have to have a full outer shell of electrons when covalently bonded
26
Q

What is a dative covalent bond

A
  • Is formed when an empty orbital of one atoms overlaps with an orbital containing a non bonded pair of electrons
  • Represented by an arrow
27
Q

What are the 3 rules of electron repulsion theory

A
  • The shape of a molecules is cased by repulsion between pairs of electrons both bonded and non bonded
  • Electrons surrounds themselves around the central atom where repulsion is at a minimum
  • Lone pair – lone pair> lone pair – bonded pair> bonded pair – boned pair

35
Q

What is a polar molecule

A

•Polar molecules are molecules which have an unsymmetrical distribution of electron density caused by dipoles reinforcing another

36
Q

Explain how an instantaneous dipole is formed

A
  • If molecules possess a permanent dipole, will also interact with one another, and when aligned correctly there will be a favourable interaction and attract another.
  • However random movement of atoms mean they are not always aligned
37
Q

When does a hydrogen bond occur

A

•When hydrogen is bonded with a more electronegative atom than itself like oxgen, nitrogen and fluorine

38
Q

What groups will form hydrogen bonds

A

•All compounds containing –O-H group

39
Q

What are the hydrogen bonds in water described as

A

•Interaction is of an extreme dipole-dipole interaction and utilising lone pair on oxygen atom

40
Q

The bond angle in water is

A

•Bond angle has to be 180 degrees

41
Q

Two main features of water due to hydrogen bonding

A

a very high boiling temperature

low density as a solid than liquid

42
Q

Why will water have a higher boiling point than other molecules with hydrogen bonds

A

•Water forms two hydrogen bonds per molecule so hydrogen bonding more extensive, hence high boiling temp

43
Q

Why is the density of ice less than of liquid water

A

•When frozen, ice is arranged in 6 rings, held together by hydrogen bonds, which creates a large area open space

44
Q

Why does boiling temperture increase with chain length in alkanes

A
  • More electrons per mole so London forces will be stronger
  • As the chain length increases there will be more point of contact, meaning and London forces between chains too
45
Q

Why do alcohols have higher boiling points that alkanes

And how can we test this

A
  • Alcohols also have hydrogen bonding which increases boiling tempertures
  • Enthalpy change of vaporisation direct measure of intermolecular interactions, you can use it to work out the predominate bonding in alcohols
46
Q

Why are alcohols soluable in water

A

•These Hydrogen bonds can form with water

47
Q

What is the trend in solubility as chain length increases

A

solubility of alcohols decreases with increasing hydrocarbon chain length as London force becomes predominant

48
Q

What is the trend with boiling point in halogen haildes

A

•Increase in HF then decreases to HCl and then continues with a steady increase with HBr and HI

49
Q

Why from HCl to HI will there be a steady increase in boiling points

A

•The steady increase from HCL to HI due to the increasing amount of electrons which increases London forces

50
Q

Why is HF boiling point extraodinarily high compared to other halogen halides

A

•HF has a very high boiling temp due to F having the highest electronegativity which effects the strength of hydrogen bonds

51
Q

In order for a substance to dissolve

A

Solute particles must be separated from another and come surrounded by solvent particles

Forces of attraction between solute-solvent particle must be strong enough to overcome solvent-solvent solute-solute forces

52
Q

How would you find a solvent for a non-polar molecule

A

If you’re searching for solvent for non-polar substance that has substantial non polar parts

then liquid that contains similar molecules is the answer

53
Q

what are th 4 types of soild lattices

A

•Giant metallic, giant ionic, giant covalent, discrete molecular lattice

54
Q

What are the four types of giant covalent lattices

A

Dimond, Graphite, graphene, fullerene

55
Q

Describe the bonding in dimond

A

each carbon contains 4 sigma bonds to 4 other carbons, in a tetrahedral arrangement

Very hard due to the double carbon- carbon bonds

56
Q

Describe the bonding the Graphite

A

Each carbon bonded to three other sigma bonds, forming hexagonal rings.

It has a deloclised electron in the p orbital.

It is a solid lubricant due to absorbed gases.

London forces between layers

57
Q

Decribe the bonding and melting/tempertures in Molecular solids (fullerene)

A

low melting and boiling temperatures, as not breaking the covalent bonds,

bigger macro molecules have more electrons so higher London forces

58
Q

•Intermolecular interaction are relatively stonger or weaker than electrostatic forces of attraction?

A

•Intermolecular interaction are relatively weaker than electrostatic forces of attraction

59
Q

What creates instaneous dipole-dipole interactions

A

•London Forces create instantaneous dipole-dipole interactions, which caused by fluctuations in adjacent molecules, produced very rapidly

60
Q

London forces depend on what

A
  • London forces depend on the size/shape of molecules
  • (more points of contact between molecules greater forces e.g. unbranched molecules)
  • number of electrons however they are always present in a molecules.
61
Q

As the atomic number increase in isoelectric ions, what happens to the ionic radii

A

Decreases

Charges increases, meaning nuclear charge increases

N3-, O2-, F-, Na+, Mg2+, Al3+
