Q

What is the difference between a homogeneous mixture versus a heterogeneous mixture?

A

In homogeneous mixtures, the different particles are evenly distributed (uniform).

In heterogeneous mixtures, the different particles are not evenly distributed. In these mixtures, particles tend to congregate with one another.

1910 J

39
Q

What is atomic radius? What is the trend for atomic radius using the periodic table?

A

Atomic radius is defined as the half distance between nuclei in a molecule consisting of identical atoms.

Moving down a given group on the periodic table, the atomic radius will increase. As you go down a group on the periodic table, the principal quantum number of the valence orbitals increases. There are more electron orbitals further from the nucleus, increasing the atomic radius.

Moving across a period from left to right on the periodic table, the atomic radius will decrease. This is caused by the increase in the effective nuclear charge as the strength of positive charge increases in the nucleus.

40
Q

How is atomic radius impacted when an ion forms?

A

The formation of a cation or anion has an impact on atomic radius. When an ion forms, we can look at the ionic radius.

Cations: When an element loses an electron and becomes a positively charged species, the ion is smaller than the neutral atom.

Anions: When an element gains an electron and becomes a negatively charged species, the ion is larger than the neutral atom.

41
Q

Describe the general trend for ionization energy as seen on the periodic table.

A

Moving across a period from left to right on the periodic table, the ionization energy will increase. It is more difficult and energy-intensive to remove an electron from a species farther right in a period due to the increase in Zeff.

Moving down a given group on the periodic table, the ionization energy will decrease. It is easier to remove electrons from larger species due to the increasing distance between valence electrons and the nucleus.

42
Q

What is the general trend for electron affinity?

A

Moving across a period from left to right on the periodic table, the electron affinity of the atom will increase. This is caused by a decrease in atomic radius and an increase in effective nuclear charge.

Moving down in a group of atoms on the periodic table, the electron affinity will decrease. This is caused by added electrons being farther from the nucleus as the atom increases in size and that added electrons experience more repulsive forces from other electrons.

43
Q

True or False:

The compound potassium sulfate is an example of a compound that contains only ionic bonding.

A

False: The polyatomic ion sulfate is held together via covalent bonding while the bond between sulfate and the potassium ion is an example of an ionic bond.

Potassium sulfate contains both covalent and ionic bonding.

44
Q

Describe the general trend for electronegativity on the periodic table.

A

Electronegativity increases from left to right across the period and increases from the bottom to the top of a group.

45
Q

What is the difference between a polar covalent bond and a non-polar covalent bond?

A

Non-polar covalent bonds arise when there is not a great difference in electronegativity between the two atoms forming the bond. Electrons will be shared equally.

Polar covalent bonds arise when two atoms with larger differences in electronegativities are bound together. When two atoms having larger differences in electronegativities are bound together, the atoms will share electrons within the bond unevenly.

46
Q

Looking at the polar covalent bond in H-F, where would the partial positive charge go and where would the partial negative charge go?

A

Remember that in a polar covalent bond, the partial positive charge will go on the more electropositive atom and the partial negative charge will go on the more electronegative atom.

47

A

Q

51
Q

Draw the Lewis structure for the carbonate ion. How many equivalent resonance strucutres are possible?

A

There are 3 equivalent resonance forms for carbonate.

52
Q

What is the difference between electronic geometry and molecular geometry?

A

Electronic geometry looks at ALL pairs of electrons surrounding the central atom of a compound. This includes electrons involved in bonding AND lone pairs of electrons.

Molecular Geometry ONLY looks at pairs of electrons involved in bonding. It does not consider lone pairs of electrons.

53

55
Q

True or False:

If a molecule contains polar bonds, then it must be a polar molecule.

A

False: Just because a molecule has polar bonds does not mean that it is a polar molecule. It will depend on if the dipoles cancel out or not.
