Q

describe how the covalent bond of a hydrogen molecules is formed

A

-forms as the atoms move closer and the positive charge of the nucleus attracts the electron of the other atom
-has a shared pair of electrons, a covalent bond, to give a noble gas arrangement of He to each H atom
- forms, when the molecule formed, is more stable than the 2 individual H atoms

Q

why is the octet rule not right?

A
  1. hydrogen requires just 2e to form a noble gas arrangement
  2. nonmetals P, S, Cl, Br and I can form compounds with 10 or 12 valence electrons
  3. sulfur in SF6 are 12 valence electrons: 6 bonds
  4. in BCl3 the B atom has only 3 valence electrons to share.

Q

electronegativity difference between 0.5 and 1.8

A

polar covalent bond

31
Q

electronegativity difference greater than 1.8

A

bond is ionic and the electrons are considered transferred

32
Q

polar molecules

A

one end of the molecule is more negatively charged than the other. the polar bonds in the molecule do not cancel each other out. the electrons are shared unequally in the polar covalent bond

33
Q

describe resonance structures

A

delocalised electrons: a single bond length is detected that is intermediate between single and double bonds.

34
Q

what does it mean when energy wise when several resonance forms can be drawn?

A

the actual energy of the molecule is lower than the energy of the individual structure because of higher entropy

35
Q

metallic bonding

A

lattice of metal ions bathed in a shared electron cloud

36
Q

alloys

A

the atoms of the added metals replace some positions in the array, leading to the same or different lattice with modulated properties

37
Q

perturbation theory

A

application of a quantum mechanics approximation

38
Q

what happens as 2 atoms approach each other?

A

it leads to an overlap between the orbitals: interaction between the nucleus of one atom and the electron of the other

39
Q

when do bonds form

A

when the interactions lead to a decrease in energy. the interaction is stabilised when 2 semi-occupied orbitals of similar sizes overlap

40
Q

when does the bond not form

A

when fully occupied orbitals overlap, the interaction leads to repulsion and the bond does not form

41
Q

hybridization

A

shuffling between differrent sublevel orbitals to give isoenergetic hybrid orbitals

it increases the electron probability density in a single lobe allowing better superposition with other orbitals; 4 hybrid isoenergetic sp3 orbitals are obtained

42
Q

why can carbon form 4 bonds

A

because 4 hybrid isoenergetic sp3 orbitals are obtained

ionic bond

57
Q

what affects the melting points of compounds

A

it is related to the strength of the attractive forces between molecules and compounds

hydrogen bonds stabilise their structure

60
Q

how are nucleic acids stabilized

A

hydrogen bonds between complementary bases

61
Q

what stabilizes the conformation of macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids?

A

the sum of several weak forces: portions of the molecule that are several bonds get close to each other in space and attract weakly

62
Q

describe the structure of ethanol

A

ethanol has both a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic component.

63
Q

hand sanitisers

A

at 70% ethanol, the interactions between proteins and water are replaced by interactions with ethanol. these weak forces destabilize the structure of the structure of the proteins that lose their function

64

68
Q

bonding molecular orbital
