Q

Why can an ionic compound dissolve in water

A

116
Q

Why can a polar covalent compound dissolve in water?

A

The attraction between the polar molecule and water molecules release enough energy to break up the covalent bonds in the molecule

117
Q

Why are ionic compounds insoluble in non-polar solvents?

A

The non-polar molecules mean they can’t attract ions strongly to break up the ionic lattice

118
Q

Why are non- polar substances insoluble in water?

A

There’s no strong attraction between non-polar molecules and water, so there’s not enough energy released to break the covalent bonds within it

119
Q

Why are non- polar substances soluble in non-polar solvents?

A

When new ldf form between the two molecules, enough energy is released to break the ldf between the non-polar substances

123
Q

Why does the metallic bonds increases going across a period?

A
  • The charge of the ion increases

- The number of outer electrons which become delocalised increases

124
Q

What happens to the mpt and bpt in Group 4?

A

It has the highest mpt and bpt because lots of covalent bonds have to be broken when it melts or boils

125
Q

Why is H and He in period 1 and elements in group 5 to 0 have low mpt and bpt?

A
  • In group 0, weak ldf must be broken between the atoms

- H2, Group 5,6, and 7 elements must have broke ldf between the molecules

126
Q

Explain the mpt and bpt going down group 1

A

It decreases because the metallic bonds get weaker

127
Q

Explain the mpt and bpt as you go down group 7
