61
Q

H bonding when it occurs

A
  • strongest intermolecular attraction
  • occurs between H (bonded to N, O, F) and a lone pair on a N, O, F atom on another molecule
62
Q

H bonding how does it arise

A
  • N, O, F are highly electronegative
  • there is large difference in electronegativity between O + H (state atoms) creates a dipole on O-H bond (state bond)
  • lone pair on O atom (state atom) in 1 molecule strongly attracts a partially positive H atom on another molecule
63
Q

A
64
Q

P.D.D forces when it occurs

A
  • generally weaker than H bonding
  • occurs between polar molecules
65
Q

P.D.D forces how does it arise

A
  • difference in EN leads to bond polarity
  • dipoles do not cancel out therefore the molecule has an overall permanent molecule
  • there is an attraction between δ+ on 1 molecule and δ- on another
66
Q

P.D.D forces how to draw it

A
67
Q

I.D.D forces when it occurs

A
  • generally weakest force (stronger than H and PDD if large molecular)
  • occurs between all molecules (and atoms of noble gases) important force in non-polar molecules - don’t have any other i.m.f
68
Q

I.D.D forces how does it arise

A

(RUTID)

  • other molecules increase in bp as size increases
  • bigger molecules have stronger I.d.d forces between molecules
71

74

79
Q

physical properties of period 3 elements (trends in mp and bp) -> Na to Mg to Al

A

mp increases Na to Mg to Al as strength of metallic bonding increases
Na only forms +1 ions, Mg forms +2 ions, Al forms +3 ions
Na ions are largest whereas Al ions are smallest so stronger metallic bonding for Al

80
Q

physical properties of period 3 elements (trends in mp and bp) -> Silicon

A
  • high mp -> macromolecular -> held by strong covalent bonds that require lots of energy to break
81
Q

physical properties of period 3 elements (trends in mp and bp) -> P, S, Cl and Ar

A
  • simple molecular -> I.D.D increase for bigger molecules
  • S8 biggest strongest VdW higher mp and bp
  • P4 next in size order slightly lower mp and bp
  • Cl2 smallest of 3 weakest VdW lowest mp and bp
  • Ar single atoms weakest VdW forces of non-metals lowest mp and bp of all period 3 elements
82
Q

physical properties of period 3 elements (trends in mp and bp) -> silicon has the highest mp but aluminium has the highest bp

A

Si strong covalent bonds -> high temp needed once
Molten relatively little more energy is then needed to vapourise it -> bp not much higher then the mp
compared to Al once molten a lot of energy is still needed to overcome strong electrostatic metallic bonds -> Al has very high bp

83
Q

comparison question 1

A
  • Br is simple molecular
  • Mg is metallic
  • Br has weak VdW forces between molecules
  • more energy is needed to overcome the stronger metallic bonds
  • Mg has a much greater liquid range because forces of attraction in liquid are stronger
84
Q

comparison question 2

A

HCl -> p.d.d between molecules
I2 -> i.d.d between molecules
I2 is a bigger molecule so stronger i.d.d forces between molecules

85
Q

comparison question 3 [6m]

A

HF -> simple molecular -> H bonding between molecules -> strongest attraction of 3 -> requires most energy to break

CH3Cl -> simple molecular -> p.d.d forces between molecules

Ne -> simple atomic -> i.d.d forces between atoms -> weakest attraction of the 3 -> requires least energy to break
