Q

ionic bonding

A

Ionic bonding:

-Non metal anion and metal cation

-Dot and cross diagrams are used to depict this

Formation of ions:

-A sodium ion would loose one electron to form a cation with a singly positive charge

-A chlorine atom would have to gain an electron to form an anion with a singly negative charge

100
Q

factors that influence polarisation in ionic bonds

A

small cation that is highly charged, large anion that is easily polarised

-most ionic = lowest polarisation + larger radius

101
Q

why does polarisation occur

A

-In a covalent bond between two different elements, the electron density is not shared equally

-polarisation is due to a difference in each elements electronegativity

102

the ability of an atom to attract the bonding electron pair in a covalent bond

103
Q

what does it mean if an element has a greater electronegativity

107
Q

why do noble gases have no electronegativity

A

108
Q

how is a bond considered polar

A

bond must have a difference in electronegativity greater than 0.5and less than 1.7

109
Q

how is a bond considered non-polar

A

difference in electronegativity is less than 0.5

110
Q

what is the difference in electronegativity for ionic bonds

A

more than 1.7

111
Q

charges of electronegative atoms

A

the more electronegative atom has a partial negative charge

-the less electronegative atom has a partial positive charge

112
Q

molecule polarity

A

-A molecule which has symmetrical polar bonds cancel out the dipoles and the molecule is non-polar

-A molecule which has asymmetrical polar bonds are polar

-The presence of lone pairs makes a molecule polar e.g water

113
Q

predicting which molecule is polar

A

1) Does it contain polar bonds or not

2) Are there lone pairs on the central atom

3) Are atoms bonded to the same central atom

114
Q

A

a polar molecule

115
Q

117
Q

119
Q

the larger the electronegativity difference

A

the larger the dipole

120
Q

what scale is used for electronegativity

A

the pauling scale

121
Q

what does a larger difference in electronegativity mean

A

The greater the difference in electronegativity, the more polarized the electron distribution and the larger the partial charges of the atoms.

122
Q

correlation between bond strength and length

A

single bond = weakest (longer)
double bond = stronger (shorter)

123
Q

bonding in covalent molecules

A

Covalent bonds between atoms in a molecule are relatively strong however, the intermolecular forces between molecules are weak.

124
Q

what are the 3 types of intermolecular forces

A

-hydrogen bonding
-permanent dipole-permanent dipole
-van der waal forces

125
Q

van der waal forces

A

-exist between ALL covalent molecules (polar and non-polar except diamond)

-When two atoms in a molecule meet there will be an attraction between the electron cloud and nuclei of the atoms. There will also be repulsion between both of the nuclei and clouds of electrons

-dipole –> a bond whose ends have opposite charges

-van der waal forces are the weakest intermolecular forces

126
Q

how do van der waal forces form

A

1) A non-polar molecule has an uneven distribution of electron cloud

2) The electron cloud has temporarily been displaced to one end

3) An instantaneous dipole is formed

4) A dipole in one molecule induces a dipole in another due to electrostatic attraction

5) Van der waal forces are formed

127
Q

factors affecting van der waal forces

A

-number of electrons (more electrons = stronger forces)

-Points of contact (straight chain rather than branched)

128
Q

why would there be a higher possibility of temporary induced dipoles

A

The larger the atom, the higher the polarizability. As the molecules get bigger there are more electrons so have a higher polarizability and therefore a higher possibility for temporary induced dipoles.

129
Q

Permanent dipole-permanent dipole

A

-Only found in polar molecules

-If a molecule is polar due to its shape, it is said to have a permanent dipole due to a difference in electronegativity

-Between the molecules of HCl there is a difference in electronegativity due to bond polarity. Dipoles dont cancel out and therefore molecules have an overall dipole.

-If molecules contain bonds with a permanent dipole, the molecules may align so there is electrostatic attraction between the opposite charges on neighboring molecules

130
Q

key features of a permanent dipole-permanent dipole interaction

A

-Polar molecules

-strong electrostatic attraction

-stronger than van der waal forces as it is permanent not temporary

-if van der waal forces have a larger boiling point than permanent dipole forces then the van der waal forces exerts the greater influence in this case

131
Q

Explain why only van der waal forces exist in SiF4

A

-SiF4 is a non-polar molecule so has a symmetrical arrangement which means dipoles cancel out
-Temporary dipole is formed by an instantaneous dipole
-dipole induces in a neighbouring molecule due to electrostatic attraction

132
Q

explain how permanent dipole-dipole forces arise between HCl molecules

A

-Difference in electronegativitiy leads to bond polarity
-permanent dipole forms between opposite charges on neighbouring molecules

133
Q

Lone pairs for electronegative atoms

A

N = one lone pair
F = one lone pair
O = two lone pairs

134
Q

what is the strongest intermolecular force

A

hydrogen bonding

135
Q

what elements does hydrogen bonding only occur between

A

-Can only form with Nitrogen, Flourine and Oxygen as there is a significant difference in electronegativity

136
Q

why can only N,O,F form hydrogen bonds with hydrogen

A

-very electronegative

-have a small atomic radius

-therefore makes a more polar bond

137
Q

how are hydrogen bonds formed

A

The more electronegative atom e.g oxygen will attract the electrons more strongly away from the hydrogen. The covalent bond becomes polarised.

When the polarised bond is near a neighbouring molecule that has also been polarised by hydrogen will cause the two molecules to become attracted to eachother thus forming a hydrogen bond.

138
Q

what are the steps to drawing hydrogen bonds

A

1) draw O H O in a straight line
2) Draw hydrogen bonding and one full covalent
3) Add in lone pairs and partial charges
4) Add in rest of the molecule

forces of attraction in a molten metal are stronger

-Does not conduct electricity

149
Q

Graphite

A

-macromolecular crystal

-each carbon atom is covalently bonded to 3 other in the same 2D plane thus forming hexagonal rings in layers

-Layers of graphite held weakly together by van der waal forces

-conducts electricity as for each carbon atom there is 1 delocalised electron

-delocalized electrons flow within a layer

-120 degrees bond angle (trigonal planar)

-light weight and transparent

-good conductor (delocalised electrons for each C atom)

-3 carbon covalent bonds for each carbon

-120 degrees bond angle (trigonal planar)

151
Q

fullerenes

A

-buckministerfullerene contains 60 carbon atoms –> each of which is bonded to 3 others by two single bonds and one double bond

-carbon nanotubes are another type of fullerene –> used to transport drugs to cells in the body and as components in electrical transistors

152
Q

name the type of bond formed between N and Al

A

dative covalent bond

153
Q

metallic structure

A

-Electrostatic attraction between metal cations in a lattice and a sea of delocalised electrons

-For every 1 cation 1 electron will be delocalised

154
Q

why do metallic structures have a high melting point

A

-lattice structure

-strong attractions within lattice structure

-a lot of energy required to overcome the electrosatic force of attraction between cations and electrons

155

A

permanent-dipole-permanent dipole –> polar

158
Q

describe how the intermolecular forces arise in Cl2

A

-van der waal interaction arise due to uneven distribution in electron cloud
-results in instantaneous dipole
-the end of molecule will induce dipole in another molecule due to electrostatic attraction

159

A

ClF4-

161
Q

permanent dipole-permanent dipole

A

The electron distribution in a covalent bond between elements with different electronegativities will be unsymmetrical. This produces a polar covalent bond, and may cause a molecule to have a permanent dipole.

162
Q

A

greater p:e ratio

163
Q

A

shared pair of electrons between non-metal atoms

164

non-polar

169
Q

ion-dipole forces
hydrated ions seperate leaving ions by themseleves

e.g potassium iodide in water forms K+ and IOH

170

A

In square planar molecular geometry, a central atom is surrounded by constituent atoms, which form the corners of a square on the same plane. The geometry is prevalent for transition metal complexes with d8 configuration
