29
Q

what is electronegativity

A

A measure of the ability of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons in a covalent bond

30
Q

What are examples of very electronegative elements

A

oxygen, florine, chlorine, nitrogen etc

31
Q

what are factors affecting electronegativity

A

atomic charge
distance from the nucleus
electron shielding

32
Q

what is a HCl bond known as

A

polar covalent bond

33
Q

what must a molecule be for it to be polar

A

asymmetrical

34
Q

what does a polar molecule form

A

a dipole

35
Q

why are symmetrical molecules non polar

A

the dipoles cancel each other

36
Q

do lone pairs cause symmetrical or asymmetrical molecules

A

asymmetrical

37
Q

what is an intermolecular force

A

an attractive force between neighbouring molecules

38
Q

what are the 3 types of intermolecular forces

A

-permanent dipole-dipole interactions
-london forces
-hydrogen bonds

39
Q

what is the strongest and weakest intermolecular force

A

hydrogen is strongest
london in weakest

40
Q

explain a permanent dipole force

A

-Its a weak attractive force between permanent dipoles in neighbouring polar molecules
-The permanent dipole of one molecule attracts the permanent dipole of another

41
Q

explain london forces

A

-They act between all molecules, whether they are polar or non polar
-Electrons might find themselves towards one side of the molecule because they are mobile, forming a temporary dipole
-This creates induced dipoles which are attracted to the temporary dipoles

42
Q

explain hydrogen bonding

A

-Electrostatic forces of attraction between a proton deduced of electrons attached to an electronegative atom and the lone pair of another electronegative atom

43
Q

why is ice less dense as a solid

A

the hydrogen bonds hold the H2O molecules in an open lattice shape as a solid, bit as they melt the molecules move closer together

44
Q

what elements does hydrogen bonding happen to with hydrogen

A

Nitrogen, Oxygen and Florine

45
Q

What is metallic bonding

A

The electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons

46
Q

What are the properties of giant metallic lattices

A

High mp and bp
Good electrical conductors
Malleable and ductile

47
Q

What do giant metallic lattices have high melting points and boiling points

A

Strong electrostatic attraction between positive metal ion and delocalised electrons which require a lot of energy to overcome

48
Q

Why are giant metallic lattices good electrical conductors

A

Delocalised electrons are free to move and carry a charge

49
Q

Why are giant metallic lattices malleable and ductile

A

The ions are able to move past each other into new positions whiteout breaking metallic bonds

50
Q

What is an alloy

A

A mixture of metals

51
Q

what is an ionic lattice

A

regular repeating pattern of oppositely charged ions

52
Q

what are the properties of ionic compounds

A

-Conductors when molten
-High mp and bp
-Soluble in polar solvents

53
Q

explain why ionic lattices are conductors when molten

A

ions are free to move through the structure

54
Q

explain why ionic lattices have high melting and boiling points

A

electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions is so strong large amounts of energy are needed to overcome

55
Q

what can increase electrostatic attraction in ionic compounds/lattices

A

higher ion charge

56
Q

explain why ionic lattices are soluble in polar solvents

A

polar molecules break down the lattice by surrounding each ion to form a lattice; positive ion in solvent to negative ion in lattice, and negative ion in solvent to positive ion in lattice

57
Q

What are properties of simple molecular substances

A

-weak and soft when solid due to intermolecular forces
-don’t conduct electricity as not charged
-soluble in non polar solvents because London forces form between the solvent and molecule

58
Q

what are the differences between graphite and diamond

A

graphite can conduct electricity but diamond cannot
