16
Q

Ionic bonding

A

electrostatic attraction between positive & negative ions
-metal&non metal
-giant lattices
higher the charge the stronger the bond

17
Q

general equations

A

Acid + metal = salt + hydrogen
Acid + base =salt +water
Acid + metal carbonate= salt+ water+ carbon dioxide

18
Q

Oxidation state

A

tells us the charge of an element, indication of how many electrons an element has lost or gained

19
Q

oxidation state rules

A

-all elements in their uncombined state has an oxidation state of 0
-oxygen normally -2
cl is different if binded with fluorine or oxygen
-hydrogen have +1 unless bonded to metal -1

20
Q

bases

A

substances that can react with an acid to forma salt

  • sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
  • potassium hydroxide(KOH)
  • ammonia- (NH3)
21
Q

electron shells

A

2,8,18,32
s=2, p=6, d=10 f=14
1s,2s,2p,3s,3p,4s,3d etc

22
Q

orbitals

A 
s-orbitals 
sphere shape
p orbitals
-dumbell shape (3 kinds)
each orbital hold 2 electrons so therefore in p shell there are 3 orbital shells
23
Q

short hand notation

A

write the nearest noble gas in square brackets then write the continuing shells

24
Q

electron configuration

A

-draw with single headed arrows
opposite way to eachother as electrons repel
-put electrons in each box before filling each pair out
most stable if half full or full

25
Q

shapes of molecules

A 
linear = 180 (co2)
triganal planar = 120 (BCl3)
tetrahedral = 109.5 (CH4)
pyramidal = 107 (NH3)
non-linear = 104.5 (H2O)
octahedral = 90 (SF6)
-lone pairs repel more than bonded
26
Q

electronegativity

A

-an atoms ability to attract bonding electrons in a bond
-measured using pauling scale
-Across periodic table; electronegativity increases,nuclear charge increases, ar decreases
less than 0.5 = non polar
0.5 - 1.8 = polar
bigger than 1.8 = ionic

27
Q

Bond polarity

A

non polar- if elements are similar in electronegativity or the same eg H2
polar- if electronegativities are different eg HCl
separation of opposite charges (dipoles)
Solvents dissolve in like substances
polar dissolves in polar

28
Q

intermolecular forces

A 
induced dipole (london forces) - weak forces that exist between all molecules; electrons move to one side causing a temporary charge
permanent dipole -  stronger than london; exist in polar covalent bonds
hydrogen - strongest force; dipole bonds with lone pair, between H-N,F,O
29
Q

Anomolous water properties

A

ice is less dense than water - hydrogen bonds hold water molecules apart in a lattice

  • water has relatively high boiling point
  • high surface tension
30
Q

empirical formula

A

simplist whole number ratio
-work out number of moles of each then divide by smallest number of moles
will give you a ratio then round to nearest whole number

31
Q

uncertainty

A

% = (2x) uncertainty / quantity measured
x100
-(2x) if using a burette as there are 2 uncertainties

32
Q

compound charges

A 
sulphate - SO4 (2-)
nitrate - NO3 (-)
carbonate CO3 (2-)
hydroxide OH (-)
ammonium NH4 (+)
