Chemical Bonding Part 2 Flashcards
When the covalent bond is polar? (2)
The molecule is either polar or non polar
What determines whether it is polar or non polar? (1)
Shape of the molecule
What is the polarity of a molecule? (1)
- Sum of all bond polarities
If the diatomic molecule is polar…
There will be what? (1)
An Electronegativity difference
If the molecule is not diatomic…
What can tell you the molecule is polar or non polar? (1)
The shape of the molecule
Properties of:
WATER - H2O (4)
- Angular
- Therefore not symmetrical (no sides cancel)
- H-O bond polar covalent
- Therefore polar molecule
Properties of:
AMMONIA - NH3 (4)
- Pyramidal
- Therefore not symmetrical
- N-H bond polar covalent
- Therefore molecule is polar
Properties of:
CARBON DIOXIDE - CO2 (4)
- Linear shape
- Symmetrical (bonds cancel)
- Therefore molecule is non polar
- C-O bond polar covalent
Properties of:
SULPHUR DIOXIDE - SO4 (4)
- Bent shape
- Therefore not symmetrical (sides don’t cancel)
- S-O bond polar covalent
- Therefore polar molecule
Properties of:
METHANE - CH4 (4)
- Tetrahedral
- Symmetrical (bonds cancel)
- Therefore molecule is non polar
- C-H bond polar covalent
Properties of:
CARBON TETRACHLORIDE - CCl4 (4)
- Tetrahedral
- Symmetrical (bonds cancel)
- Therefore molecule is non polar
- C-Cl bond polar covalent
All halogens will give what? (2)
- A symmetrical molecule
- Therefore non polar molecule
Is oil polar or non polar? (1)
Non polar
What is an Intramolecular force? (2)
- Intramolecular forces are forces inside the molecule keeping compounds together
- Namely in covalent bonding
What is an Intermolecular force (2)
An intermolecular force is a weak force of attraction between molecules or between atoms of noble gas
Intra & Inter
WATER
(3x3)
Intramolecular
- H-O attraction
- X25 strong than Inter
- 464 KJ/mol to break down
Intermolecular
- H2O to H2O attraction
- Not as strong as Intra
- 19 KJ/mol to break down
What is the breaking down of molecular forces known as? (1)
Sublimation
Give 4 examples of what strength influences in a molecule? (4)
- Shape
- Volume
- Surface Tension
- Ability to flow
- Rate of evaporation
- Melting and boiling points
The stronger the intermolecular force… (2)
The greater the amount of energy needed to move molecules apart
Van Der Waals forces are weaker than… (2)
- Chemical bonds
Lower melting points - Intramolecular forces
Noble gases do not…? (2)
- Bond with other elements
- Held together by London Forces
Dipole - Dipole? (3)
- Positive and Negative poles in the molecule
- Weaker than Ionic and Metallic
- Molecules must be almost touching or touching
Example of Dipole - Dipole? (3)
HCl
- Attraction relatively weak
- Cl-H X130 more strong than HCl–HCl
- Boiling point is -85°C
Dipole - Induced Dipole? (3)
- Created by disturbing the arrangement of the electrons
- weaker than dipole - dipole
- Stronger than London forces
Example of Dipole - Induced Dipole? (2)
H-Cl – Ar
- H-Cl is dipolar
- Ar is non polar
- dipole induces a temporary dipole in Argon
Which non polar gases create a Dipole - Induced Dipole molecule? (2)
O2 & CO2
- Dissolve sparingly into water
Different names for London Forces (3$
- Momentary Dipole Forces
- Induced Dipole - Induced Dipole
- Dispersion Forces
London Forces? (3)
- Weakest of the Van Der Waals Forces
- Temporary attractive force
- Causes non polar substances to
:: condense into liquids and
:: freeze into solids when the temperature is lowered
London forces exist between? (2)
- 2 Non Polar Molecules
- Atoms of noble gases
