Q

What are isotopes and its properties?

A

Isotopes are elements with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. They have:
- Same chemical properties as parent element since neutrons don’t affect how they react
- Isotopes with more neutrons heavier and slower
- Difference in neutrons affects physical properties such as boiling, melting points, density and rate of diffusion

74
Q

What is electron density?

A

Used to describe way charge is distributed when considering electrons as clouds of charges

75
Q

What are polar bonds?

A

2 atoms in covalent bond have different electronegativities, this means bond is polar and electrons drawn towards more negative atom

76
Q

What are the results of polar bonds?

A
  • Negative charge center and positive charge center not coinciding
  • Electron distribution is asymmetric.
  • Less electronegative atom is delta positive partial charge
  • More electronegative atom is delta negative partial charge
77
Q

A

Covalent bonds vary depending on how big different in electronegativity values of 2 bonded atoms, bigger the difference = bigger the polarity

78

79
Q

What are forces affecting electronegativity?

81
Q

What is symmetry?

A

When molecules symmetrical, no overall polarity and electron cloud shared evenly over whole molecule.

82
Q

How to determine whether molecule is polar?

A
  • Polarity of each bond in molecule
  • How bonds arranged in molecules
  • Some molecules have polar bonds but not polar overall because polar bonds in molecules arranged in which individual diploe cancels each other out.
83
Q

What are dipole dipole forces?

A
  • Temporary dipole exists in all molecules but some are molecules with permanent dipole attracted to each other. This is attraction between permanent dipole on one molecule and permanent on other.
  • Dipole dipole results in boiling point to be slightly higher than expected thus increasing strength of intermolecular attractions
83
Q

What are trends of intermolecular forces?

A
  • As you go down the group, valence shell further away from nucleus thus temporary dipole caused by electron distortion
  • Solids have highest IMF of attraction, then liquid then gas
  • Increase in boiling point as size of molecule increases due to greater electron density leading to higher IMF.
  • Large surface area = more contact with adjacent molecules thus higher melting / boiling point.
84
Q

What are the properties of hydrogen bonding to work?

A
  • Strongest type of IMF, special type of permanent dipole dipole bonding
  • Requires hydrogen to be bonded to O, N or F with lone pair of electrons leading to very highly polarized.
  • Hydrogen becomes delta positive when hydrogen bonding occurs
85
Q

How does London dispersion forces work?

A

Electrons not static but in constant motion, thus electrons not symmetrical with surplus of atoms on one side.
- Temporary induced dipoles constantly appearing and disappearing as electrons constantly moving
- Occur between all atoms but very weak and all reason all compounds liquid or solid
- Strength of forces dependent on no. of electrons and surface area.

86
Q

Trends with london dispersion forces for no. of electrons?

A
  • More no. of electrons, greater chance of distortion greater frequency and magnitude of temporary dipoles
  • Dispersion forces between molecules stronger and melting / boiling point higher
87
Q

Physical properties for melting and boiling point?

A
  • When covalent structures change, IMF overcome with strong the forces needed, more energy needed to break attractions
  • IMF weaker than covalent bond, thus covalent substances mainly liquid or gas at room temp
  • Low boiling / boiling point = Not volatile
  • Strength of IMF increases with size of molecule, increase in polarity and higher molecular formula
88
Q

Physical properties for solubility?

A
  • Non polar structures dissolve in non polar solvents as they form VDW forces between solvent and solute
  • Polar substances dissolve in polar solvent due to dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bonds between solute and solvent
  • Large covalent molecules = lower solubility as polar part of molecule is small part of overall structure
  • Polar substances unable to dissolve well in non polar solvents as dipole dipole attractions unable to interact with solvent
89
Q

Physical properties for solubility?

A
  • As covalent bonds don’t contain freely moving particles, unable to conduct electricity in solid or liquid.
  • Certain conditions allow polar covalent to conduct due to delocalized electrons.
