1
Q

Why do metal atoms experience a smaller ENC?

A

this id due to increased atomic size due to the larger number of shells and shielding so there is a weaker attraction

Q

What ions can Na form?

A

it can form Na+ and Na4+, but not Na2+ or Na3+ as second or third ionization energy doesn’t allow an extra electron to be lost

Q

How does attraction between water ions increase?

A

increases with ionic charge, but removing electrons comes with an energy loss, meaning it may not be feasible to lose due to the high ionization energy

middle IMF with attractive forces between dipoles of 2 molecules - permanent charge separation ( difference in electronegativity between 0.4 and 1.8)

92

  • number of electrons = more electrons means increased attraction
94
Q

What is a dipole-induced-dipole?

A

molecule with a permanent dipole can induce a dipole in a non-polar molecule and form a bond

95
Q

What is hydrogen bonding?

A

strongest IMF = dipole-dipole attraction between H-N, H-O and H-F only (big difference in electronegativity, so the bonding electrons pairs are pulled away from the hydrogen to form air pockets, which explains why solid ice floats on water)

96
Q

How does size affect LDF?

A

larger molecule = more LDF

97
Q

How does polarity affect LDF?

A

greater difference in electronegativity = stronger type of LDF present

98
Q

How does size affect the melting and boiling points?

A

larger molecule = higher melting and boiling point due to increased electrons and more LDF’s forming, requiring more energy to overcome

99
Q

What is volatility?

A

tendency for a substance to vaporize and become a gas

100
Q

What is solubility?

A

ability to dissolve a solute in a solvent to form a solution

101
Q

What is the trend for covalent compounds in terms of volatility?

A

larger molecules have stronger LDF’s, so will require more energy to overcome and therefore harder to vaporize

102
Q

What is solubility like for a polar/non-polar substance?

A

polar - dissolves in polar substances as hydrogen bonds or dipole-dipole attraction forms
non-polar - dissolves in non-polar substances as it cannot form the correct IMF

103
Q

What is electrical conductivity like for covalent compounds?

A

cannot conduct electricity as there are no delocalised electrons
- some polar covalent compounds can conduct when dissolved as they disassociate into their charges

104
Q

Why does sand not dissolve in the tide?

A

sand does not dissolve in the tide as it is it a non polar substance and water is polar so it doesn’t form the correct IMF to dissolve as well as having a giant covalent structure which requires lots of energy to overcome

105
Q

What happens to solubility if a non-polar subsatance has 1 polar bond?

A

if a non-polar substance has 1 polar bond, it won’t dissolve in a polar solvent as it can’t form the correct type of IMF

106
Q

What do small or large molecules show in chromatography?

A

large molecules - less soluble, travels less
small molecules - more soluble, travels further

107
Q

What is the stationary phase?

A

the one that doesn’t move - the paper

108
Q

How does IMF and chromatography work?

A
  • paper is 10% made of cellulose and is made out of water
  • when placed in water, it absorbs water to form hydrogen bonds with OH groups from cellulose
  • solute rises from the start line with the water due to capillary action
  • when the solute forms the strongest IMF it can, it stops moving
109
Q

What is Rf values and how do you calculate it?

A

retardation factor - unique values to identify unknown substances

110
Q

What is the mobile phase?

A

the one that moves - solvent

111
Q

What determines solubility of each compound?

A

type of IMF present - hydrogen bonds dissolve and move up the paper but LDF’s don’t dissolve and don’t move

112
Q

What is thin layer chromatography?

A

stationary phase - silica or aluminica (SiO2 or AlO2) is coated into glass or metal (smooth and hard surface) containing polar groups to form hydrogen bonds

115
Q

What does position of triangle depend on?

A

116
Q

What are the properties of metals and why?

A

shiny and lustrous - delocalised electrons reflect light - used in structures and jewellery
good thermal conductivity - closely packed ions and delocalised electrons - pots
good electrical conductivity - delocalised electrons can move around the structure in response to an applied voltage - circuits
ductile and malleable - random, non-directional movement of electrons means the metallic bond remains intact under applied pressure - wires and cables
high melting point - lots of energy required to overcome strong electrostatic attraction to separate atoms - turbine engines

What are examples of composite materials?

A

reinforcement bars - concrete and steel bars
adobe bricks - mud and hay

128
Q

What is an alloy?

A

homogeneous mixture with at least 1 metal in a metallic bond

129
Q

Why are alloys hard?

A

atoms are different sizes so layers are distorted and don’t slide or change shape when pressure is applied

130
Q

How can factors affect the strength of a metallic bond?

A

number of delocalised electrons - more electrons means a stronger electrostatic attraction are formed which requires more energy to overcome
charge of cations - higher charge means more delocalised electrons moving through the lattice with smaller radii as ENC increases, causing a stronger attraction
radius of cation - smaller radius means there is a stronger attraction between electrons and nucleus

131
Q

What are trends of metals down the group and across the period?

A

down the group - larger radii means a weaker attraction between ions and electrons, so less energy to overcome and lower melting point
across the period - greater charge density due to smaller ionic radius, so a stronger attraction and a higher melting point

132
Q

What are properties of transition metals?

A
133
Q

What is a polymer?

A

large molecules or macro-molecules made up of repeating sub units

134
Q

What are properties of polymers?

A

-covalent bonding
- unique ability to form stable bonds with itself, hydrogen and other elements

135
Q

How do the side chains affect the polymer?

A

changes the type of IMF formed which affects the polymer made and the properties it has

136
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages of addition polymers?

A

advantages - no waste products as 100% atom economy
disadvantages - requires lots of energy for high heat and pressure which come from fossil fuels

137
Q

What is a repeating unit?

A

a snapshot at a part of a chain which has the part that repeats

138
Q

What are the two types of polymers?

A

natural - protein, starch and DNA
synthetic - plastics

139
Q

What are the properties of plastic?

A

lightweight, low reactivity, water resistant, strong, non biodegradable, made out of cellulose, starch and lignin

140
Q

What does non-biodegradable mean?

A

can’t be broken down by natural processes

141
Q

What does compostable mean?

A

can be broken down along with food and plant matter in specific conditions

142
Q

What does reusable mean?

A

can be used in the same format

143
Q

What does biodegradable mean?

A

can be broken down by microorganisms

144
Q

What is an addition polymer?

A

requires a double bond and makes a new covalent bond with neighboring molecules to form a chain

145
Q

What does recyclable mean?

A

melted down and changed into something else

146
Q

How does polymerization link to atom economy?

A

has 100% atom economy - no waste products
