EXTRA Flashcards
Explain why a fluoride ion (F-) is larger than a sodium ion (Na+)
-Fluoride ion has fewer protons
-weaker attraction between nucleus and outer e-
describe how molecules are ionised using electron spray ionisation
-sample is dissolved
-passed through a high pressure nozzle
-each molecule gains a proton
during the titration the student washed the inside of the conical flask with some distilled water
-suggest why this washing does not give an incorrect result
-does not change the number of moles
Chlorine has a low boiling point because the forces between the molecules are weak.
Explain how these forces arise between molecules of chlorine.
-(Random) movement of electrons in one molecule (creates a dipole) /
a (temporary) dipole is formed in one molecule / an imbalance in
electron density in one molecule
Induces a dipole in a neighbouring molecule.
(These) temporary dipoles attract / temporary attraction between δ+
and δ–
