Q

How do induced dipole-dipole forces form?

A
  1. Uneven distribution of electrons within each molecule (random movement)
  2. Creates an instantaneous dipole

Q

Why does boiling point increase from Cl2 to Br2 to I2?

A
  1. All have induced dipole-dipole forces between molecules
  2. Going down the group, no. electrons increases which increases the strength of the IMF
  3. Require more energy to break

Q

What makes a molecule symmetrical?

A

If there are no lone pairs and all of the bonds are the same

22
Q

What happens if a molecule is symmetrical?

A

The dipoles cancel out

23
Q

Which particular bond is always non-polar?

A

C-H

24
Q

What are the 2 anomalous properties of H2O?

A
  1. Relatively high boiling point - stronger hydrogen bonds need to be broken
  2. Ice less dense than water - molecules are held further apart by hydrogen bonds in a lattice

A

Octahedral, 90°

29

A

Non-linear, 104.5°

32
Q

Why is SF6 octahedral?

A
  1. It has 6 bonding pairs of electrons around sulfur

2. Electron pairs repel each other

33
Q

Why is NH3 pyramidal?

A
  1. It has 3 bonding pairs and 1 LONE PAIR of electrons around nitrogen
  2. Electron pairs repel each other and lone pairs REPEL MORE than bonding pairs
34
Q

What are bonding pairs called instead when the molecule has double bonds?

A

Bonding regions

35

Q

What is the definition of a giant ionic lattice?

A

A regular and repeating structure of oppositely charged ions

38
Q

What do “giant” and “simple” mean in terms of lattices?

A 
Giant = made up of ATOMS
Simple = made up of MOLECULES
39
Q

What does “like dissolves like” refer to?

A

Polar solutes dissolving in polar solvents and non-polar solutes dissolving in non-polar solvents

40
Q

What is metallic bonding?

A

A strong electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and the sea of delocalised electrons

41
Q

What is a giant metallic lattice?

A

Metal ATOMS held together as a lattice of positive ions surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons

42
Q

Why are metals good conductors of electricity?

A

They have mobile charge carriers (delocalised electrons)

43
Q

Do ionic compounds have a high melting point?

A

Yes - large amounts of energy needed to break many strong bonds

44
Q

Do ionic compounds conduct electricity when solid?

A

No - ions are held firmly in place so no mobile charge carriers

45
Q

Do ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten/aqueous?

A

Yes - ions are free to move (so mobile charge carriers)

46
Q

What structure and IMFs does iodine (I2) have?

A

Simple covalent lattice (made up molecules), induced dipole-dipole forces (not polar)

47
Q

What are the properties of GIANT IONIC lattices?

A
  • High melting points (strong ionic bonds)
  • High solubility in polar solvents, low solubility in non-polar solvents
  • Low electrical conductivity when solid, high electrical conductivity when molten/aqueous (mobile charge carriers)
48
Q

What are the properties of SIMPLE COVALENT lattices?

A
  • Low melting points (weak induced dipole-dipole forces between molecules)
  • High solubility in polar solvents if molecule is polar, high solubility in non-polar solvents if molecule is non-polar
  • Low electrical conductivity when solid and molten/aqueous (no mobile charge carriers)
49
Q

What are the properties of GIANT COVALENT lattices (diamond, graphite/graphene, Si and SiO2)

A
  • High melting points (atoms bonded covalently)
  • Low solubility in polar/non-polar solvents

What are the properties of GIANT METALLIC lattices?

A
  • High melting points (metallic bonds)
