Q

Why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points (3)

A

This so because ionic compounds are held together by strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions. These forces are known as ionic bonds. Because the ionic bond ( lattice ) contains so many ions a large amount of energy is needed to overcome these bonds,

Q

Why are metals mealleable (2)

A

Malleability is caused by metallic bonds that have freely moving electrons that allow the atoms in the metal to shift and slip past each other when a physical force is applied. Consist of layers of atoms

The metal cations are surrounded by electrons, teh positive ions can slide over and under one another without causing disruption to teh metallic bonding

44
Q

Phosphate ion

A

PO -3 ( up ) and 4 down

45
Q

What are 2 thing polarizability depends on

A

The more electrons a molecule contains, the higher its ability to become polar. Polarizability increases in the periodic table from the top of a group to the bottom and from right to left within periods. This is because the higher the molecular mass, the more electrons an atom has. With more electrons, the outer electrons are easily displaced because the inner electrons shield the nucleus’ positive charge from the outer electrons which would normally keep them close to the nucleus.

2.distance of electrons from nuclear charge
Basically less control the nuclear charge has on the charge distribution the higher teh polarizability

46
Q

Why do different ion pairs in lattice bonds stay together ( include what would make them repel each other )

A

In addition to the force of attraction between the individual pairs force of attraction also exists among the oppositely charged ions of different pairs that bring them close to each other. Alfie result of this repulsive forces are also generated between similar ions of different pairs.

Because the cation to cation distance ( measured from the centre ) of different pairs are greater than the cation to anion distance, the force of attraction is greater that teh repulsive forces and the ions arrange themselves in such a way that a potential energy becomes a minimum.

47
Q

When is complete transfer of electrons not possible ( ionic binding is not possible when ? )

A

When the elements do not differ much in their electronegativities the complete transfer of electrons is not possible between the atoms, in this case the electrons are shared and covalent bonds are formed. Also note - each atom contributes an equal number of unpaired electrons towards the bond formation (covalent )

48
Q

What is bond length

A

The distance between the nuclei of the atoms after the formation of the bond is called the bond length

49
Q

London dispersion forces

A

London dispersion forces are the weakest type of intermolecular bond. London dispersion forces are caused by an uneven distribution of electrons within an atom. This results in a slightly negative () and slightly positive charge on either side of the atom. A temporary dipole has been established. This temporary dipole can induce a temporary dipole on a neighbouring atom/molecule.

50
Q

Fajan’s rules

A
  1. Size of cation and anion - a large cation and small anion results in maximum ionic character for the bond
  2. Charge of Cation and Anion - low charge on cation and anion results in maximum ionic character for the bond ( high charge leads to maximum covalent charector )

According to Fajans’ rule, an ionic bond is formed by a compound with a low positive charge, a large cation, and a small anion, whereas a covalent bond is formed by a compound with a high positive charge, a small cation, and a large anion

51
Q

What does teh strength of a covalent bond depend on ?

A

Teh strength is related to the extent to which the two combing atomic orbitals can overlap. Teh greater the extent of overlap between teh atomic orbitals, the greater is the strength of resulting covalnet

52
Q

What are sigma bonds ( what is it and electron distribution )

A

Formed as a result of maximum overlapping of orbitals along teh inter nucleus axis ( end-end or head on ). This type of overlapping is stronger. Electron cloud is distributed in a cylindrically symatrical way around teh inter nucleus axis.

53
Q

Pi bond ( what is it and distribution of electron cloud )

A

Formed between two atoms by lateral overlapping of orbitals perpendicular to teh interernucleur forces axis ( sideways overlapping ). Results in a weak bond. Electron cloud is distributed in two npbana shaped regions above and below the inter nucleus axis

54
Q

How is a double bond formed in oxygen2 atoms

A

Singly occupied 2p z orbital of oxygen atom overlaps ( end to end ) with teh same orbital of another oxygen atom to give rise to a sigma bond, . Singly occupied 2p y orbitals of both the oxygen atoms overlap along a line perpendicular to z-axe to give a pi bond. Thus a double bond is formed.

55
Q

What is hybridization ?

A

Process of intermixing of two or more atomic orbitals of almost equal energies of an atom and their redistribution into an equal number of identical orbitals, teh resultant orbitals are called hybrid orbitals

56
Q

how are ionic bonds associated with some covalent characters - 3 points

A

Ionic bonding is presented as the complete transfer of valence electrons, typically from a metal to a non-metal.
All bonding interactions have some covalent character because the electron density remains shared between the atoms. The degree of ionic versus covalent character of a bond is determined by the difference in electronegativity between the constituent atoms. The larger the difference, the more ionic the nature of the bond.

57
Q

60
Q

How was Lewis’s theory of formation of covalent bond through electron sharing interpreted

A

The mechanism of sharing of electrons was interpreted with teh help of teh concept of overlapping orbitals after teh quantum mechanical model of atom was proposed

61
Q

Coordinate covalent bond ( also known as a dative bond )

A

Special type of covalent bond in which only one pair of teh participating atoms contribute to teh electron pair for sharing . Because I hwo teh contribution of electrons are one sided a slight polarity develops in Teh molecule

they have high melting points and boiling points, because the metallic bonding in the giant structure of a metal is very strong - large amounts of energy are needed to overcome the metallic bonds in melting and boiling

90
Q

Explain alloy hardness ( when is a metal string - force - + why are pure metals soft + hwo do alloys help make them stronger )

A

In the solid state, a pure metal has a giant metallic structure. The atoms are arranged in layers. When a force is applied, the layers may slide over each other. The greater the force needed, the harder and stronger the metal.

In an alloy, there are atoms of different sizes. The smaller or bigger atoms distort the layers of atoms in the pure metal. This means that a greater force is required for the layers to slide over each other. The alloy is harder and stronger than the pure metal.

91
Q

A dot and cross diagram shows the pairs of outer electrons, and which atoms they have come from. It does not show how the atoms are arranged in space.

93
Q

Why are ionic compunds brittle but metal not

A

Application of a force results in like-charged ions in the crystal coming too close to one another, causing the crystal to shatter. When a force is applied to a metal, the free-flowing electrons can slip in between the stationary cations and prevent them from coming in contact.
