Ni Flashcards
3 states of matter
Solids liquids gases
Gases have no what (2)
Fixed volume or shape and move around freely
Solids and liquids particles are
Tightly packed together
What condense and freeze at sufficiently low temperatures
Molecular element
Compounds
Monatomic elements
For freeze and condense what must occur
Forces of attraction between discrete atoms or molecules
=VDWF
What are LDF
Forces of attraction that can operate between all atoms & molecules
Are they weak or strong LDF
Much weaker than all other types of bonding
Strength of LDF depends upon what
•No of e
More e the stronger intermolecular forces
Why are LDF formed?
As a results of electrostatic attraction between TD and induced dipoles & induced dipoles causes by movement of E in atoms or molecules
Dipoles occur when
A dipole in a molecule occurs when opposite ends of atoms, molecules or compounds have different e charged
What affect can dipoles have on their neighbouring atoms
Attract atoms e to other end so another dipole is made
The uneven distribution of electrons are only
Temporary
Temporary due to small and temporary they are very weak
The negative end of an atom will what (dipole)
The repel -E on adjacent atoms causing T.D called induced dipoles
So what’s the positive end like of a dipole
It’s attracted to the - end of the dipole on a nearby atom
Non polar covalent bonds
•occur between non metals with same E.N
•The more e, the stronger LDF, the more energy to break
•LDF are their intermolecular forces
Covalent bond occurs
Between non metal atoms with slightly different electronegative values
In a polar covalent bond what isn’t shared equally
•Electrons aren’t shared equally due to EN values
Where do the electrons sit closer to
The atom with the higher electronegative values as it has a stronger attraction for shairrd pair of e
What does difference in electronegative values cause
Atoms to be slightly charged
The - dipole in molecules is electrostaticlly
Attracted to the + Dipole
Covalent bond definition
Electrostatic force of attraction of positively charged non-metal nuclei for a shaired pair of electrons
In polar dipoles what are present (bonding)
PD
What is a permanent dipole?
A PD is a Permanent persistent uneven distribution of electrons due to their diffuclut in e.n between atoms in a molecule, resulting in asymmetrical charged dipoles
1 atom attracts what in a PD
Attracts e more than the other becoming more -
