Q

Electrons repel each other so what holds them together and why?

Q

What are the properties that affect electronegativity?

A

Larger charge=more attractive

Charge density, more neutrons “dilute” positive charge =lower attractive

Inner electrons shield outer electrons reduces attraction

Distance, the further away, the weaker the attraction

Q

Why does ionic bonding occur?

A

Because the non-lethal has higher electronegativity so it steals electrons from the metal

Q

What is promotion and why is it important?

A

Promotion is when electrons from 2s^2 move to 2p orbit
Promotion explains how carbon bond makes colavent bonds as it means a sub shell is freed up for an electron to bond

A mixture of s, p electrons forming a bond

Ionic electron clouds look like

A

Cloud is more around the highly electronegative atom because more attractive to electrons

One side is denuded of electrons

22
Q

How do London dispersion forces work?

A

Electrons repel each other to create temporary positive charge in the charge cloud
The charged bits are then attracted to each other

23
Q

What is the order of strength of Van Der Waals forces?

A

Hydrogen
Permanent dipoles
London dispersion forces

24
Q

How do you work out moles?

A

Moles = Mr/Mass

25
Q

What order do the orbital go in?

A

S, p, d, f

26
Q

How do you calculate molar mass?

A

Mass/moles

27
Q

How do you calculate concentration?

A

Moles/volume

28
Q

What are the uses for magnesium oxide?

A 
Fertilizer
Mineral supplement
Ice control
Dust control
Coagulant for making food
Spa treatment
29
Q

Explain why copper is ductile?

A

Metallic bonding means a regular pattern

This means atoms can slip past each other easily

So metals can be drawn into wires without breaking

30
Q

Balance equation for the reaction of silicon and oxygen

A

Si + O^2 –⟩ SiO^2

31
Q

What is the force called between ions?

A

Electrostatic force

32

A

OH-

33
Q

What is the formulae of nitrate

A

NO3-

small low 3

36
Q

What is the formulae of ammonium

A

NH4+

small low 4

37
Q

How do you work out molarity?

A

Molarity= moles/ litres of solution

38
Q

What is Aufbau principle?

A

Electrons will fill the orbital with the lowest available energy state

39
Q

What intermolecular forces do noble gases have?

A

London dispersion forces

40
Q

How do you work out percentage yield with moles?

A

Actual number of moles/expected number of moles *100

41
Q

What is an element?

A

A substance made from one type of atom

42
Q

What is a quantum?

A

A quantum is how much energy an electron needs to move to the next energy level

Losing energy is dropping a level
Gaining energy is moving up a level

43
Q

What’s important to remember when drawing calcium electron configuration which has 20 electrons?

A

4s fills in before 3d

44
Q

What is the structure of ionic compounds?

A

Lattice giant structure usually regular pattern

45
Q

What does the strength of an ionic bond depend on?

A

More charge means more electrostatic forces

Smaller ionic radius electrons are closer to the nucleus

46
Q

What is a dative bond?

A

Where the electrons come from the same atom, Colavent bond

47
Q

What affects the strength of covalent bonds

A

Shorter covalent bonds on a stronger closer to the nucleus

Multiple bonds are stronger

48
Q

Why are metals good conductors of heat?

A

At higher temperatures metal atoms vibrate more. Bypass this vibration energy (kinetic/heat) to their neighbours

Free electrons carry energy through the metals

49
Q

Why are metals good conductors of electricity?

A

Electrons are delocalized and negatively charged

Free electrons can move through the metal and current is the flow of charge

50
Q

Why does the melting point decrease as we go down metals groups?

A

The atoms of bigger as they have more shells

The distance between the nucleus and the delocalized electrons are bigger

The forces holding the structure together are weaker

51
Q

What are inter-molecular forces and their name?

A

The forces between molecules

Van de Waals forces

52
Q

Why are elements put into groups?

A

Put into groups of similar properties

53
Q

How many elements is there?

A

92

54
Q

What is electron affinity and what is it measured in?

A

How likely a neutral atom is to gain an electron

Measured in the energy released Kj/mol
