ENTHALPY + ENTROPY Flashcards
what makes an ionic lattice very stable
strength of the ionic bond
- electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions in the structure
define lattice enthalpy
the energy change that takes place when one mole of an ionic compound is formed from it constituent gaseous ions, under standard conditions
is lattice enthalpy exo or endo
it is ALWAY EXO –> making bonds
.:. value of enthalpy change is always neg
define enthalpy of formation
the energy change that takes place when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements under standard conditions
define enthalpy of atomisation
the energy change that takes place when 1 mole of gaseous atoms are formed from the element in its standard state
is enthalpy of atomisation endo or exo - why
endo –> bonds broken to form gas ions
.:. + value
define 1st ionisation energy
the energy change required to remove 1 e- from an atom in 1 mol of gaseous atoms to form 1 mol of unipositive gaseous ions
what is lattice enthalpy
measure of the strength of the ionic bond
define enthalpy of e- affinity
the enthalpy change that takes place, under standard conditions, when 1 e- is added to each atom in 1 mol of gaseous atoms to form 1 mol of gaseous 1- ions
are ionisation energies endo or exo - why
endo - bc energy is required to overcome the attraction between a neg e- and pos nucleus
what does e- affinity measure
the energy to gain e-
what does ionisation energy measure
the energy to lose e-
is electron affinity exo or endo - why
exo - the e- being added is attracted towards the nucleus
what type of energy change is this?
Ca (g) –> Ca+ (g) + e-
1st ionisation energy
what type of energy change is this?
S- (g) + e- –> S2- (g)
second e- affinity
