Q

Why is ionisation energy endothermic

A

Because energy is required to overcome the electrostatic force of attraction between the nucleus of the atom and the electron being removed

Q

Explain why successive ionisation energies are more endothermic

A

It is harder to remove an electron from a more positive ion
Electron that is being removed is closer to the nucleus therefore more strongly attracted

Q

Explain why 1st electron affinity has a negative ΔH

A

There is a net attractive force between the nucleus of the atom and the electron added therefore energy is released

A
33
Q

What is the equation for enthalpy of solution

A

Enthalpy of lattice dissociation + Enthalpy of hydration positive ion + enthalpy of hydration of negative ion

34
Q

What affects the value of enthalpy of lattice formation/dissociation

A

Smaller & highly charged ions have a higher charge density - giving stronger electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions
Gives more exo value for formation
Gives more enforcing value for dissociation

35
Q

What affects the value of enthalpy of hydration for positive ions

A

The force of attraction between the delta negative O of water, and the positive ion

36
Q

What causes a stronger force of attraction between a delta negative oxygen on a water molecule and a positive ion (how does it affect the value of enthalpy of hydration)

A

Smaller more positive ions will have a higher charge density
Will attract delta H oxygen on H2O stronger
Which gives a more exothermic value for enthalpy of hydration

37
Q

What affects the value of enthalpy of hydration for negative ions

A

The attraction between the delta positive H on a H2O molecule and the negative ion

38
Q

What affects the attraction between delta positive H on a water molecule and a negative ion (how does it affect the value of enthalpy of hydration)

A

Smaller more negative ions will have a larger charge density
This will attract the delta positive H on the H2O stronger
This gives a more exothermic value for enthalpy of hydration

39
Q

When is covalent character more prevalent

A

The more charge dense the positive ion is, as well as when there is a larger or more negative, negative ion.
(n+ more polarising, n- more polarisable)

40
Q

When does the most covalent character occur

A

When we have small, highly positive ions are bonded to highly negative ions

41
Q

What does the perfect ionic model assume

A

Assumes that the ions are perfect spheres (no covalent character)

42
Q

When will the born barber value for enthalpy of lattice F/D be similar to the value from the PIM equation

A

When there is no/little covalent character

43
Q

If there is covalent character present, how will the born haber value differ from the P.I.M value for lattice enthalpy of F/D

A

The value will typically be larger
Either more -ve for lattice enthalpy of dissociation
Or more +ve for lattice enthalpy of formation

44
Q

What is bond enthalpy

A

The amount of energy required to break one mole of a specific covalent bond in the gas phase
