Q

Why are ionic substances soluble in water?

A

+ and - dipoles in water are attracted to ions and pull lattice apart, energy is required (endothermic)

Q

What is metallic bonding?

A

Valence electrons can move from one atom to another creating a cloud of delocalized electrons. The positive metal ions are immersed in this cloud. Electrostatic interactions are responsible for the metallic bond.
Metallic bonding joins a bulk of metal atoms

22
Q

What are examples of giant covalent structures?

A

Diamond, Graphite, Ice, Iodine

23
Q

What is an example of a giant metallic structure?

A

Magnesium

24
Q

What is an example of a giant ionic structure?

A

Sodium chloride

25
Q

What are the properties of iodine?

A

Atoms are big so many weak Van der Waals forces ; macromolecular lattice; small amount of heat energy to overcome forces; hence sublimation

26
Q

What are the properties of ice?

A

Covalent bonds between O & H; solid state hydrogen bonding between water molecules, 3D lattice; intermolecular hydrogen bonds are weak, low energy to overcome attractive forces ; Water low melting and boiling points

27
Q

What are the properties of diamond?

A

Hard, high melting and boiling point. each atom 4 covalent bonds, no electrical conductivity

28
Q

What are the properties of graphite?

A

High melting and boiling point, soft flaky, layers can slide over each other due to weak Van der Waals forces, electrical conductivity, carbon bonded to 3, 1 free delocalised electron

29
Q

What are the properties of magnesium?

A

High melting and boiling point, Electrostatic attraction between metal ions and delocalised electrons, strong giant metallic lattice

30
Q

What are the properties of sodium chloride?

A

High melting and boiling point, electrostatic attraction between + ions and - ions, strong giant ionic lattice

31
Q

What is electronegativity?

A

Power of an atom to attract the electron density in a covalent bond towards itself

32
Q

How is electronegativity measured?

A

Pauling scale 0 - 4 (4 most electronegative)

33
Q

What are the factors that increase electronegativity and why?

A

Smaller atoms, bonding electrons to nucleus ; Larger nuclear charge, greater attraction for bonding electron; Less shielding, greater attraction between nucleus and bonding electron

34
Q

What are the electronegativity trends across a period?

A

Electronegativity increases - same shielding , decreasing atomic radius, increasing nuclear charge

35
Q

What are the electronegativity trends down a group?

A

Electronegativity decreases - shielding and distance from nucleus increases

36
Q

What is the most electronegative element?

A

Fluorine , Pauling scale 4.0

37
Q

What is bond polarity?

A

Unequal sharing of electron density as result of difference in electronegativity

38
Q

What are different types of intermolecular forces (ascending order) ?

A

Van der Waals forces, Permanent dipole-permanent dipole, hydrogen bonds

39
Q

What are the properties of Van der Waals forces?

A

1/1000 of covalent bond,Weakest IMF, due to momentary dipoles, exist for moments, increases boiling point

40
Q

How do intermolecular forces affect alkane structures?

A

Straight chain alkane, pack closer together, more points of contact between molecules, stronger Van der Waals forces

41
Q

What are the properties of permanent dipole-permanent dipoles?

A

1/100th of covalent bond; polar molecules, permanent dipoles;

42
Q

What are the properties of hydrogen bonding?

A
