Q

Describe atomic radius across period 3.

A

Nuclear charge increases but shielding stays the same. Atomic radius decreases as the attraction between nucleus and outer electrons becomes greater.

Q

Explain why magnesium has a greater melting point than sodium.

A

Magnesium has 2 delocalised electrons per atom whilst sodium only has 1 therefore the metallic bonding is stronger.

Q

Explain the trend In melting point of phosphorus.

A

Phosphorus is a simple covalent molecule which exists as P4. It has a very low melting point as only weak intermolcular van der waals forces must be overcome.

Q

State the general trend in ionisation energies across period 3.

A

Increases
Nuclear charge increases but shielding stays the same. So there is a greater attraction between the nucleus and electrons meaning more energy is required to overcome this attraction.
Atomic radius decreases.

Q

Explain the elements that derive from the general trend of first ionisation energies across period 3 and why.

A

Al - lower than expected. Electron is removed from the 3P orbital not the 3S which is a dumbbell shape and therefore further from the nucleus.

S- lower than expected. Electron pairs formed in the 3P orbital so the repulsion makes it easier for an electron to be removed.

32
Q

Describe the melting point of sodium oxide and give its formula based on bonding.

A

Ionic bonding. Therefore there is a high melting point as a lot of thermal energy must be used to overcome the attraction between oppositely charged ions in the giant ionic lattice.

33
Q

Describe the melting point of magnesium oxide and give its formula based on bonding.

A

Higher than sodium. Giant ionic lattice with greater charge density than sodium therefore more thermal energy required to overcome stronger forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions.

34
Q

Describe the melting point of aluminium oxide and give its formula based on bonding.

A

Mostly ionic with covalent character so still has a high melting point.
Slightly lower than magnesium oxide due to covalent character.

35
Q

Describe the melting point of silicone oxide and give its formula based on bonding.

A

Giant covalent structure therefore it has a high melting point as 4 strong covalent bonds must be broken per each Si atom.
Lower than aluminium oxide.

36
Q

Describe the melting point of phosphorus oxide and give its formula based on bonding.

A

This is a simple covalent structure so only intermolcular can der waals and dipole dipole forces of attraction must be overcome.
Lower than silicone oxide.

37
Q

Describe the melting point of silicone dioxide and give its formula based on bonding.

A

Simple covalent. Only van der waals must be overcome.

Lower than Phosphorus oxide.

38
Q

Describe the melting point of sulphur trioxide and give its formula based on bonding.

A

Must overcome van der waals forces. But greater amount of electrons and surface area than sulphur dioxide therefore more heat energy required as there are more van der waals.
