Chemistry mock weak points Flashcards
What ions are most likely to be aqueous
soluable compounds like NaCl, KNO3 and strong acids/bases
What ions are likely to not be aqeuous
insoluable ionic compounds eq CaCo3 and covalent compounds
What is an acid
Hydrogen donator/ protons
What is a base
Contains hydroxide ions and reacts neutralises Acids
What is an alkali
a base dissolved in a solution
What is first ionisation energy
energy require to remove one mole of an electron from 1 mole of gaseous atoms
What are the 3 factors that affect ionisation energy
Nuclear charge- increased pull from the nucleus makes it harder to remove an electron
atomic radius- the number of shells affects how far the valence electrons are from the nucleus attraction
shielding- the presence of shells of an atom weaken the affect of the nucleus attraction
What is the trend of first ionisation energy down a group
there are more shells despite increase nuclear attraction the valence electrons are further away therefore it decreases down the groupW
What is the trend of first ionisation energy across a period
The number of shells stays the same but nuclear charge increases so its harder to remove an electron therefore first ionisation energy increases
What are the two exceptions to first ionisation energy increase across the period
groups 2,3/ 5,6
2,3 this is due to the furtherest electron being in a P orbital compared to its prior being in an S, p orbitals have higher energy levels and therefore are easier to remove
5,6 the repulsion from both electrons being in the same orbital makes it easier for the electron to be removed
What is an induced DP DP interaction
random movement of electrons can cause a momentary DP of charge in atoms when then cause a other atoms to gain charges and be attracted to one another
What increases the strength of induced DP DP interactions
Larger molecules with more electrons have larger electron clouds as well as molecules with large surface area as they have large exposed electron clouds
What is a permanent DP interaction
The weak interaction between two polar molecules
What is a hydrogen bond
Hydrogen bonded to O,F,N have high cause for the molecule to become polar which can then bond to other similar molecules
Allotropes meaning
different forms of the same element
graphite
Hexagonal sheets with weak intermolecular bonds between the sheets, carbons each bonded to 3 others with a delocaised electron
Diamond
4 carbon bonds tetrahedral shape with a very high boiling point
Silicon
same structure as diamond 4 Si bonds which make up a lattice structure
Metallic bonding
Where metal atoms give up electrons to become delocalised positive atoms held together by delocalised electrons
How does melting/boiling point vary in metallic bonding
The amount of electrons per positive atom affects how strong the bonding is
What are the other properties of metallic bonding
Maliable- ions can slide over each other
Conductivity- delocalised electrons can carry charge
solubility- insoluble unless in liquids
Melting and boiling points in metals across a period
increases across a period as there are more delocalised electrons which make metallic bonding stronger
Melting and boiling points in giant covalent structures
very high due to the strong covalent bonds holding them together B,C and Si
Melting and boiling points in simple molecular structures
much lower due to being held together by only induced dp dp interactions. Larger molecules have higher electron clouds so have higher Bp S8 P4 Cl2
Reactivity down the group
As the energy require to remove an electron decreases down the group reactivty increases down the group
Group 2 Metal + Water
Metal hydroxide + hydrogen
metal hydroxide can dissolve in water to produce hydroxide ions which make strong alkaline solutions
Group 2 metals + Oxygen
Metal oxides
Group 2 metals + acids
Salt + hydrogen
Uses of group 2 metals
used in agriculture to neutralise acid soils
can also be used as antacids for acids in the stomach
What is the trend in reactivity down the group Halogens
Atomic radius increases as well as shielding this makes it harder to pull in an electron to from an ion so down the group halogens get less reactive
Displacement of halogens
More reactive halogens when displace a less reactive halogen from its solution
How to distinctly see halogens
Add mixture to organic solvent like hexane and shake a solvent layer containing the halogen will form on top
