Q

What are shells?

A

In an atom, electron shells make up a model that helps us to visualise something that cannot be seen.
1. Shells are regarded as energy levels.
2. The energy increases as the shell number increases.
3. The shell number or energy level is called the principal quantum number n.

Q

How are ions found in ionic compounds? What does this form?

A

Although it is convenient to look at ionic bonding acting between a small number of ions, each ion attracts oppositely charged ions in all directions.

The result is a giant ionic lattice structure containing billions of billions of ions.

Q

Why does giant ionic lattices conduct electricity when liquid but not when solid?

A

In a solid state, the ions are in fixed positions and thus cannot move. When they are in a liquid state the ions are mobile and thus can freely carry the charge.

Q

Do Giant IOnic lattices have a high or low melting and boiling point?

A

They have a high melting and boiling point because a larger amount of energy is required to overcome the electrostatic bonds.

66
Q

In what direction of the periodic table, does electronegativity increase?

A

67
Q

68
Q

A

Flourine.

69
Q

How is a polar bond formed?

A

Bonding atoms have different electronegativities.

70
Q

Why is H2O polar, whereas CO2, is non-polar?

A

CO2 is a symmetrical molecules, so there is no overall dipole.

71
Q

What is meant by intermolecular force?

A

Attractive force between neighbouring molecules.

72
Q

What are the 2 types of intermolecular forces?

A
  1. Hydrogen bonding.
  2. Van der Waals’ forces.
73
Q

What is the strongest type of intermolecular force?

A

Hydrogen bonding.

74
Q

What are the 2 interactions that can referred as Van der Waals’ forces?

A
  1. Permanent dipole - induced dipole interaction.
  2. Permanent dipole - permanent dipole interaction.
75
Q

Describe Permanent dipole - induced dipole interaction.

A

When a molecule with a permanent dipole is close to other non polar molecules it causes the non polar molecule to become slightly polar leading to attraction.

76
Q

What are the 2 interactions that can be referred as Van der Waals’ forces?

A
  1. Permanent dipole - induced dipole interaction.
  2. Permanent dipole - permanent dipole interaction.
77
Q

Describe Permanent dipole - permanent dipole interaction.

A

Some molecules with polar bonds have permanent dipoles = forces of attraction between those dipoles and those of neighbouring molecules.

78
Q

Describe London forces.

A
  1. London forces are caused by random movements of electrons.
  2. This leads to instantaneous dipoles.
  3. Instantaneous dipole induced a dipole in nearby molecules.
  4. Induces dipoles attract one another.
79
Q

Are London forces greater in smaller or larger molecules?

A

Larger due to more electrons.

80
Q

Does boiling point increase or decrease down the noble gas group? Why?

A

Boiling point increases because the number of electrons increases and hence the strength of London forces also increases.

81
Q

What conditions are needed for hydrogen bonding to occur?

A

O-H, N-H, or F-H bond, lone pairs of electrons on O, F, N, because O, N, F, are highly electronegative.

H nucleus is left exposed.

A strong force of attraction between the H nucleus and a lone pair of electrons on O, N, and F.

82
Q

Why is ice less dense than liquid water?

A
  1. In ice, the water molecules are arranged in an orderly pattern. It has an open lattice with hydrogen bonds.
  2. In water, the lattice collapses and the molecules are closer together.
83
Q

Why does water have a melting/boiling point higher than expected?

A

Hydrogen bonds are stronger than other intermolecular forces so extra strength is required to overcome the forces.
