Q

What is the trend in atomic radius across period 3?

A

Trend: Decreases

Explanation:

  • Shielding is similar
  • Nuclear charge increases as there are more protons in the nucleus
  • Attraction between nucleus and outer electrons increases

Q

What type of compounds are non-metal oxides?

34
Q

What is the formula for Sulfur (IV) oxide?

35
Q

What is formed when Sulfur(IV) oxide (SO2) reacts with oxygen?

A

Sulfur(VI) oxide, SO3

36
Q

Why do the metal oxides have high melting points?

A
  • They are ionic
  • This is due to the strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
  • This attraction is hard to break
37
Q

What is the type of bonding in Na2O? What is its structure?

A

Ionic, Giant Ionic

38
Q

What is the type of bonding in MgO? What is its structure?

A

Ionic, Giant Ionic

39
Q

What is the type of bonding in Al2O3? What is its structure?

A

Ionic, Giant Ionic

40
Q

What is the type of bonding in SiO2? What is its structure?

A

Covalent, Giant Covalent

41
Q

What is the type of bonding in P4O10? What is its structure?

A

Covalent, Simple molecular

42
Q

What is the type of bonding in SO3? What is its structure?

A

Covalent, Simple Covalent

43
Q

Why does SiO2 have a higher melting point than P4O10?

A
  • SiO2 is macromolecular and P4O10 is simple molecular
  • The strong covalent bonds in SiO2 require more energy to break than the weak Van Der Waals forces between P4O10 molecules.
44
Q

Why does P4O10 have a higher melting point than SO3 (or SO2)?

A
  • P4O10 is a bigger molecule with more electrons than SO2
  • So, P4O10 will have stronger Van Der Waals forces between the molecules require more energy to break

Q

What is the equation for the reaction between aluminium oxide and HNO3?

63
Q

What is the equation for the reaction between aluminium oxide and sodium hydroxide?

64
Q

What do aluminium salts form when dissolved in water?

A

Acidic solutions

65
Q

Why do aluminium salts from acidic solutions when dissolved in water?

A
  • The ionic lattice breaks down
  • Al(3+) ions become surrounded by water forming a hexaaqua ion
  • The Al(3+) ion is surrounded by six water molecules
  • Each water molecule is bonded by a co-ordinate bond
66
Q

What change does the charge on the Al(3+) ion cause to the electron density of the water molecule?

A
  • Causes the electron density in the water molecule to move closer to the metal ion
  • The water molecule is polarised
