what is the enthalpy chnage of 1st electron afinity
the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions are made from 1 mole of gaseous atoms
O(g) –> O- (g)
what is the lattice enthalpy of formation
the enthalpy change when 1 mole of solid ionic compound is formed from its gaseous ions under standard condition
Ca 2+ (g) + 2Cl- (g) –> CaCl2 (s)
what is the enthalpy change of second electron affinity
the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous 2- ions are made form 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions
O- (g) –> O 2- (g)
what is the enthalpy change of atomisation
the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms is made from an element in its standard state
!/2 F2 (g) —> F (g)
what affects the strenght of an ionic bond
size of the charge
- bigger chrges = stronger electrostatic attraction
- more energy required so increased mp
size of ion
- smaller ion = stronger electrostatic attraction
- smaller ions can pack closer and more energy required to overcome so increased mp

what is theoretical lattice enthalpies
calculated from data assuming a perfectly ionic
- ions are perfectly spherical
- charge is evenly distributed
what is experimental lattice enthalpies
can be different to theoretical as ionic comound has covalent chaacterisitcs, more polarisation = more covalent
positive ion polarised negative ion
what causes higher polarisation
smaller cations more polarising = higher charge density so pulls electrons towards itself more readily
large anions with large charge are polarised more easily = electrons further away from nucleus and more repulsion between electrons in ion
small ions
larger charge
what does more polarisation do to covalent character of and ionic compound
increases covalent character
what is electronegativity
the ability for an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a covalent bond
where are the most elctronegative elements in the periodic table
further up and right
what is electronegativity measured in
pauling scale
what does a big difference in electronegativity suggest
more ionic the substance
