39
Q

Why does the 4s sub shell fill before the 3d sub shell

A

40
Q

Ionic bonding definition

A

The electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions

41
Q

Ionic bond boiling and melting points

A

Almost all ionic compounds are solids at rtp. Most ionic compounds have high melting and boiling pts

42
Q

Solubility in an ionic bond

A

Many ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents such as water. Water breaks down the lattice and surround each ion in solution. If the compound is made up of ions with large charges the ionic attraction may be too strong so this compound will then not be very soluble

43
Q

Electrical conductivity in ionic bond

A

In the solid state an ionic compound doesn’t conduct electricity. But once melted or dissolved it will

44
Q

Covalent bonding

A

The strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms. Occur in non-metallic compounds

45
Q

Are covalent bonds localised

A

Yes, the attraction is solely between the nuclei and shared electrons , this can result in a small unit called a molecule

46
Q

Double covalent bond

A

The electrostatic attraction between 2 shared pairs of electrons and the nuclei of the bonding atoksn

47
Q

Dative cove lent bonds ( or coordinate bonds )

A

A covalent bond in which the shared pair of electrons has been supplied by one of the bonding atoms only

48
Q

How to measure covalent bond strength

A

Average bond enthalpy. The larger the value of the average bond enthalpy the stronger the covalent bond

49

53
Q

3 bonding regions, shape and region

54

6 bonding regions, shape and angle

A

55
Q

Electronegativity definition

A

The attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond

56
Q

How is electronegativity measured

A

The Pauling scale

57
Q

Which element is the most electronegative

A

F

58
Q

How are electrons shared in non-polar bonds

A

The electron pair will be shared equally . This is a pure covalent bond

59
Q

How are electrons shared in polar bonds

A

The electron pair is shared unequally between the bonded atoms. Eg the bonded electrons in HCl will be closer to the Cl

60
Q

Intermolecular forces , definition and 3 main categories

A

They are the weak interactions between dipoles of different molecules.
Induced dipole-dipole interactions ( London forces )
Permanent dipole-dipole interactions
Hydrogen bonding

61
Q

Induced dipole- dipole interactions strength

A

They are weak intermolecular forces that exist between all molecules, polar or non-polar. The larger the number of electrons mean larger induced dipoles, more energy is then needed to overcome the intermolecular forces, increasing the boiling point

62
Q

How are London forces formed

A

-Movement of electrons produces a changing dipole in a molecule
-at any instant, an instantaneous dipole will exist but it’s position is constantly shifting
-the instantaneous dipole induced a dipole on a neighbouring molecule
-the induced dipole induced further dipoles on neighbouring molecules, which then attracts one another

63
Q

Properties of simple molecular substances

A

Low melting point and boiling point
Solubility- the solubility of non-polar substances is easier to predict, simple molecular substances tend to be insoluble in polar solvents
Electrical conductivity- there are no mobile charged particles in simple molecular structures so there is nothing to complete an electrical circuit

64
Q

Hydrogen bonds

A

A special type of permanent dipole-dipole interaction found between molecules containing and O, N , F

65
Q

Anomalous properties of water

A

Ice is less dense than water
Water has a relatively high melting and boiling point
Relatively high surface tension
Viscosity

66
Q

Why is ice less dense than water

A

Hydrogen bonds hold the water molecules apart in an open lattice structure. The water molecules in ice are further apart than in water, so solid ice is less dense than liquid water and floats

67
Q

Why does water have a relatively high melting and boiling point

A

Hydrogen bonds are extra forces over and above London forces . An appreciable amount of energy is needed to break the hydrogen bonds in water. Without hydrogen bonds water would have a boiling point of -75c
