25
Q

how are electrides formed

A

alkalia metals +crown ethers

26
Q

define enthalpy of hydration

A

release of energy as interactions form between the metal ion+water molecules

27
Q

in terms of enthalpy of hydration when is the salt water-soluble

A

if the hydration enthalpy of a salt is equal to or greater than the lattice enthalpy

28
Q

are most group 1 salts soluble or insoluble

A

water-soluble

29
Q

what is group 15 called

A

the pnictogens

30
Q

what is nitrogens elemental form

A

N2, possessing a very strong NtriplebondN

31
Q

describe nitrogen

A

-very electronegative
-very unreactive

32
Q

why is N2 much more electronegative than their group15 elements

A

as its very small

33
Q

how are nitrides of metals made

A

-metal elements+nitrogen
-thermal decomposition of an amide complex

34
Q

what’s NH3 boiling temp

A

-33degrees celcius

35
Q

why is NH3 boiling temp much higher than other hydrides in group15

A

due to extensive hydrogen bonding

36
Q

how can you calculate the number of ‘extra’ electrons that will go into making lone pairs

A

E=A-X
A, number of valence electrons on neutral central atom
X, Number of bonds central atom makes to other things

37
Q

what’s the structure of NH3

A

trigonal pyramid

38
Q

what’s a Lewis base

A

donates a lone pair

39
Q

what’s a Lewis acid

A

accepts a lone pair

40
Q

is ammonia a Lewis base or acid

A

Lewis base

41
Q

what form of nitrogen forms salts

A

NH4+, ammonium

42
Q

what’s an azide

A

N3-

43
Q

what shape is N3-

A

linear

44
Q

describe the structure of N3-

A

-central N atom has 5 valence electrons :
-it makes 2 double bonds to the 2 N beside
-it has a positive charge, so an e- is taken off

45
Q

why are azide salts often unstable

A

due to their tendency to decompose explosively with release of N2 gas

46
Q

what’s the formula of nitrous oxide

A

N2O

47
Q

what’s the formula of nitric oxide

A

NO

48
Q

what is NO oxidation state
