Outcome 2- Intramolecular bonding: Covalent Bonding Flashcards
Types of bonds broken- N2->N2
Dispersion forces
Types of bonds broken-hg->hg
Metallic bonds
Types of bonds broken- 2NaCl-> 2NA+CL2
Ionic bonds
Hydrogen bonding
Can only occur with oxygen,florine and Nitrogen
A typical feature of covalent molecular substances
They are gases, liquids or soft, low melting point solids at room temperature
Type of Bond must be broken for water to vaporise
Hydrogen bonds only
Difference between ionic and molecular substances
Do not conduct In the molten state, whereas ionic substances do
Why do H:Y:H and .. not have the same shape
H :Z:H
..
Because Element Y has 2 lone pairs which are not included in the lewis diagram whereas Z has no lone pairs. Y would perfrom a Linear shape where Z is a tetrhdyral shape because Y is a group 16 atom and Z is a group 14 atom
Ethanol (CH3Ch2Oh) has a
A High melting point
Graphite is
Brittle
Methane (Ch4) does not
Conduct electricity in the solid or aqueous state
Polar Molecule
When a stronger attraction comes from the element with a higher electronegativity. Must have different electronegatvity and or an incomplete turnaround
Non Polar Molecule
Molecular elements are always non polar because they have the same electronegativty
Why are Molecular compounds sometimes polar and non polar?
It depends on their electronegativity. It also depends on the shape of the molecule as well on bond dipoles. If the bond dipoles cancel out then it will be non polar
The intramolecular and intermolecular forces in water
Dipole dipole, hydrogen bonding and dispersion forces
