Q

What is the trend in pH of the oxides across period 3?

A

Oxides get more acidic as you go from left to right

pH decreases

35
Q

Explain the change in melting point between Na2O and MgO

A

Increases - ions in MgO have a higher charge and are smaller so they pack more tightly together and are held together strongly

36
Q

Explain the change in melting point between MgO and Al2O3

A

Decreases - Bc of the high charge on Al2O3 the electrons polarises so it has some covalent character

37
Q

Explain the change in melting point between Al2O3 and SiO2

A

Lower than Al2O3 but still high bc macroolecular so hella energy needed to break the covalent bonds

38
Q

Explain the change in melting point between SiO2 and P4O10 and SO2

A

Decreases bc P4O10 is molecular covalent so weak intermolecular forces. Still higher than SO2 bc higher Mr
