Q

What happens to electronegativity across the period

A

Increases: Increase in nuclear charge, same amount of shielding, elements have an increased capability to withdraw electron density from a covalent bond

Q

Why does melting point increase from Na to Al

A

The charge of the metal ion increases
The size of the metal ion decreases across the row
Increase in the strength of attraction between metal ions and delocalised electrons

Q

Which P3 element has the highest boiling point and why

A

Once silicon has been melted most of its strong covalent bonds have been broken so boiling requires little energy. In the liquid state, Al has strong electrostatic attraction between ions and delocalised electrons and so requires a large amount of energy

Q

Why does MgO have the highest melting point

A

Q

Why does Al2O3 have more covalent character than MgO

A

Al3+ is smaller than Mg2+, meaning it is more polarising which distorts the electron cloud around the o2- ion more so that there is more electron density shared between the two ions

32
Q

Explain why magnesium has a higher melting point than sodium

A

Mg has a greater charge of 2+, meaning there is a stronger electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and delocalized electrons

A sample of the highest oxide of phosphorous was prepared in a laboratory. describe a method for determining the melting point of the sample- state how the result could be obtained to evaluate its purity

A
