58
Q

A

Strength of the forces that bond molecules together in a solid

59
Q

General rule for higher melting point meaning…

A

Stronger intermolecular forces

60
Q

Four types of intermolecular forces that hold molecules together in the solid/liquid phase

A

London dispersion forces
Dipole-induced dipole
Dipole-dipole
Hydrogen bonding

61
Q

What happens to intermolecular forces and covalent bonds when heat is applied?

A

Intermolecular forces are disrupted, therefore the substance melts/boils

Strong covalent bonds that hold atoms together remain intact

62
Q

What explains why non-polar molecules liquefying if the temperature is low enough?

A

London Disperson Forces, meaning there is some form of attractive force between non-polar molecules

63
Q

What are London Disperson Forces?

A

Short range, intermolecular forces that are thought to be electrostatic in nature.

They are created by the electron cloud having moments of being unevenly distributed; which generates a temporary, instantaneous dipole ; which induces a dipole in the neighbouring molecule. These temporary dipoles can attract each other but (because they are not permanent) the attraction is weak

64
Q

What substances experience London Dispersion Forces?

A

All molecular

65
Q

What forces influence the strength of the London Dispersion Forces?

A

Size of the molecules
Shape of the molecules

66
Q

Why does the size of the molecules impact LDF?

A

The greater molecular size/mass means more electrons, meaning greater instantaneous dipole, meaning stronger LDFs

67
Q

Why does shape of molecule impact LDF?

A

More compact means smaller surface area between molecules, meaning a weaker attraction

68
Q

What is the relationship between molecular size and boiling point?

A

Larger molecular size (mass)
More electrons
Larger instantaneous dipole
Stronger LDFs
More energy required to overcome intermolecular forces
Higher boiling point

69
Q

What are dipole-induced dipole forces?

A

These forces of atraction occur when a mixture contains polar and non-polar substances.
The presence of a permanent dipole in the polar molecule, such as water, induces a temporary dipole in a
neighbouring non-polar molecule, such as oxygen.

70
Q

What are dipole-dipole forces?

A

These forces of attraction occur between polar
molecules such as hydrogen chloride where the negative
pole on one molecule is atracted to the positive pole on
another molecule.

71
Q

What is the relationship between dipole and melting point, in terms of dipole-dipole forces?

A

Greater dipole
Stronger attraction between molecules
Stronger intermolecular force between molecules
Higher melting point

72
Q

What is hydrogen bonding?

A

When nitrogen/oxygen/flourine (highly electronegative atoms) bond with a hydrogen, the largest possible dipole is created.
Each molecule has one pair of lone electrons (of a NOF) which is attracted to the positive dipole on the adjacent molecule

73
Q

Ranking of intermolecular strength of comparable molecular mass

A

LDF < dipole-dipole < hydrogen bonding

74
Q

What properties of water can hydrogen bonding explain?

A

Relatively high melting and boiling points
Expansion on freezing
Good solvent peroperties

75
Q

What do the physical properties of covalent substance depend on?

A

Whether they are covalent lattice or covalent molecular substances

Covalent lattice substances only contain covalent bonds (which require a lot more energy to break) than the relatively weak intermolecular forces between molecules

76
Q

Volatility

A

Measure of how readily a substance vapourises (liquid -> gas)

77
Q

Electrical conductivity

A

Measure of a substance’s ability to conduct electricity

78
Q

Solubility

A

Measure of a solute’s ability to dissolve in a solvent

79
Q

What does vaporising a molecular substance require?

A

The intermolecular forces between molecules to be overcome.

80
Q

What is the volatility of molecular forces?

A

Generally high, as intermolecular forces are relatively weak so not much energy is required

81
Q

What do stronger intermolecular forces mean for volatility?

A

Stronger intermolecular forces
More energy required to overcome bonds
Higher boiling point
Reduced volatility

82
Q

What happens when a substance dissolves (forces of attraction)?

A

Forces of attraction form between the solvent and the solute

83
Q

When is a covalent molecular substance more likely to dissolve?

A

If the intermolecular forces between solvent and solute are stronger than between molecules of the solute

84
Q

What are polar molecular substances more likely to dissolve in?

A

Polar solvents, as like dissolve like.
For example, the polar molecular substance can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, meaning the intermolecular forces between the solute and the solvent are stronger than those between the molecules of the solute

85
Q

What are non-polar substances likely to dissolve in?

A

Non-polar solvents

86
Q

What happens when ethanol is mixed with water?

A

The polar -OH group on the ethanol molecule can form a hydrogen bond with water; thus, the ethanol dissolve in water, forming an ion-dipole bond

87
Q

What happens when polar molecular substances mix with water (highly polar)?

A

Either form hydrogen bonds OR ionise in the aqeous solution

88
Q

What does the bonding triangle represent?

A

89
Q

What does the x-axis of the bonding triangle represent?

A

Mean electronegativity of bonded elements

90
Q

What does the y-axis of the bonding triangle represent?

A

Electronegativity difference of bonded elements

91
Q

What is not considered in the bonding triangle?

A

Molecular formula or bond order

92
Q

What is chromatography?

A

A technique used to separate the components of a mixture based on their relative attractions involving intermolecular forces to mobile and stationary phases

93
Q

What is the stationary phase?

A

A solid, or a liquid coating a solid, onto which the componets of a sample adsorb

94
Q

What is adsorption?

A

The attraction or sticking of one substance to the surface of another

95
Q

What is the mobile phase?

A

Gas or liquid which carries the components of a mixture along the stationary phase

96
Q

What does the continual process of chromatographic methods rely on?

A

Continual process of adsorption of components onto the stationary phase and then desorption and dissolving back into the mobile phase

97
Q

What are the factors that affect movement along the chromatography?

A

Attraction between component and stationary phase
Solubility of the component in the mobile phase
Mass of the component

98
Q

What does a greater attraction to the stationary phase rely on?

A

Slower movement along chromatography

99
Q

What does a greater solubility in the mobile phase mean?

A

Faster the movement

100
Q

What does a greater mass of the component mean for paper chromatography?

Polarity is often an important factor

104
Q

What is the stationary phase of Thin Layer Chromatrography?

A

Uniform layer of silica (silicon dioxide) or alumina (aluminium oxide) coated onto glass/plastic/metal
Polar -OH groups on the surface of the silica and alumina can form hydrogen bonds with components in the mixture

105
Q

What is the mobile phase of thin layer chromatography?

A

(Depends on the mixture being separated)
Polarity is often an important factor

106
Q

Technique of paper chromatography

A
  1. Origin line is drawn towards the bottom of the stationary phase (using pencil)
  2. A small and concentrated spot of a sample of mixture (two or more components) is made on the origin line.
  3. Stationary phase is placed in a vessel containing the slovent starting at a depth below the origin line
  4. The solvent sweeps the componets upwards
107
Q

What is the retardation factor / retention factor (Rf)?

A

Distance travelled by solute from the origin
/
Distance travelled by solvent from the original

108
Q
