Q

just read

A

q+ and q- are the same for both compounds. However, F- is smaller than Cl- and interionic distance for NaF is smaller than NaCl. Hence, NaF has a greater magnitude of LE and a stronger ionic bond

Q

properties of ionic compounds (4)

A
  1. high bp/mp
  2. soluble in polar solvents but not in non polar solvents
  3. cannot conduct electricity in solid state as ions are held in fixed positions and cannot act as charge carriers but can in aqueous/molten state as ions are free to move to act as mobile charge carriers
  4. hard and brittle as a slight displacement along the cleavage plane can cause ions of like charges to move opposite one another and the strong repulsion causes the ionic crystal lattice to shatter

Q

diamond and graphite structures

A

diamond:
- each C atom is bonded to 4 other C atoms in a 3d lattice by forming strong covalent bonds
- hence it is hard and rigid with a high melting point

graphite:
- each C atom is bonded to 3 other C atoms in a layered structure by forming covalent bonds
- there are weak intermolecular attraction between layers
- high melting point and layers can slide over each other

Q

describe metallic bond

A

metals are composed of a rigid lattice of positive ions surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons

valence electrons are delocalised and do not belong to any particular cation but to the crystal lattice as a whole

Q

metallic bond properties (5)

A
  1. high mp/bp
  2. high electrical conductivity even in solid state
  3. high density
    - ions are closely packed
  4. malleable and ductile
    - since metallic bond is non directional, the layers of positive ions can glide over another easily without breaking the bond
  5. good thermal conductivity
    - when heated on one end, the electrons take in thermal energy → they move faster and more randomly, colliding with other electrons and passing the energy to them

Q

A

check notes

17
Q

why only period 3 can have expansion of octet

A

elements in period 3 have vacant low lying orbitals that are available fir the expansion of octet

in period 2, the 2s and 2p orbitals are occupied hence the vacant orbital with the lowest energy is 3s which is much higher in energy than 2s and 2p hence there are no vacant low lying orbitals available

in period 3, the valence 3s and 3p orbitals are occupied and the vacant 3d orbitals which are in the same electron shell are only slightly higher in energy hence there is a vacant low lying orbital and electrons in 3s or 3p can be promoted to 3d for covalent bond formation hence the expansion of octet is possible

18
Q

why bond angle in NH3 is larger than in PH3

A

because N is more electronegative than P hence it draws the bond pair closer to itself than P draws the bond pair to itself
hence the bond pair electrons are closer to the nucleus and exert more repulsion on each other causing the bond angle to be wider

19
Q

why non polar and polar covalent bonds are formed

A

NON POLAR
same electronegativities, atoms hence same tendency to draw the shared electron pair to itself so electron pair is equidistant between the 2 bonded atoms, electron cloud is uniformly distributed, non polar

POLAR
diff electronegativities, more electronegative atom draws shared electron pair closer to itself and electron cloud is not uniformly distributed so partial charges arise on the 2 bonded atoms and a dipole moment is formed hence it is polar

20
Q

structure of ice

A

each oxygen atom is tetrahedrally bonded to 4 other H atoms 2 by covalent bonds and 2 by hydrogen bonds forming a rigid open 3d structure that prevents molecules from getting too close to each other

volume increases for the same mass hence ice is less dense

21
Q

id id interactions

A

instantaneous dipole induced dipole

electron density is not symmetrical because electron cloud is not evenly distributed hence an instantaneous dipole is formed then this induces a dipole in the neighbouring electron cloud, causing an attraction between them

this id id interaction is short lived because electrons are always moving and dipoles vanish and reform

22
Q

factors affecting id id

A
  1. size of electron cloud/no. of electrons
    - as the size of electron cloud increases, the ease of polarisability of the electron clouds increases and strength of id-id increases
  2. surface area available for intermolecular interactions
    - branching vs straight chain
23
Q

pd pd interactions

A

permanent dipole permanent dipole interactions
- electrostatic attraction between the δ+ end of one molecule and δ- end of another molecule

24
Q

factors affecting pd - pd

A
  1. how polar the molecule is
    - diff in electronegativity
25
Q

hydrogen bond explain

A

h atom covalently bonded to a small highly electronegative atom with lone electron pairs (FON)

FON cause the H atom to be highly positive and since FON is small, the positive H atom can come very close to the lone pair on FON and form strong attraction (hydrogen bond)

26
Q

why bp of H2O higher than NH3

A
  1. since O is more electronegative than N, H2O has a greater dipole moment
  2. extensiveness of hydrogen bonding between H2O molecules is greater as each water molecule forms an average of 2 hydrogen bonds while each NH3 molecule only forms 1
    - since need to break more bonds when boiling H2O, bp of H2O is higher

find no. of lone pairs + no. of hydrogen atoms and the lower one is the number of hydrogen bonds formed per molecule

27
Q

diff in bp and solubility (intramolecular hydrogen bonding)

A

due to the formation intramolecular hydrogen bonds in _______, there are less sites available for the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds with other _____ molecules/water molecules.
Hence, ______ is less soluble in water/ there is less extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding in _____, leading to a lower bp

28
Q

why LE of CuO deviate more than Cu2O

A

Cu2+ has a higher charge but smaller size than Cu+ hence it has a higher charge density and has greater polarising power than Cu+ leading to greater covalent character in CuO hence will deviate from LE more

29
Q

polarising power and charge density

what is polarising power

A

greater the charge density, greater the polarising power

polarising power of cation is ability to distort the anion

30
Q

solubility of simple molecules with same type of intermolecular forces

A

solute solvent interaction is similar to solute solute and solvent solvent interaction –> favourable

solvent solvent interaction is hydrogen bonding which is stronger than solute solvent interaction
hence energy released from forming id id interaction between solute and solvent molecules is not enough to compensate for the energy needed to break the hydrogen bonds in the solvent, water

31
Q

ionic solids dissolving in water

A

ions form strong ion-dipole interactions with polar solvents and this releases enough energy to compensate for breaking the strong ionic bonds

this interaction dependent on magnitude to dipole moment, charge density of ion and size of polar molecule

32
Q

sigma and pi bonds

A

sigma bond –> head to head overlap –> electron density concentrated along nuclear axis

pi bond –> side to side overlap –> electron density concentrated above and below nuclear axis, 0 electron density along nuclear axis

sigma bond stronger due to greater degree of orbital overlap

33
Q

Factors affecting covalent bond strength (and bond energy)

A
  1. no. of shared electrons
    - triple bond stronger than double bond stronger than single bond due to increased no. of shared electrons and increased EA between bond pairs and 2 nuclei
  2. effectiveness of orbital overlap
    - greater size of atom, decreased e- density, valence orbital used in bonding is more diffuse, orbital overlap is less effective
  3. diff in electronegativity
    - greater diff, more polar the covalent bond, stronger bond
34
Q

ionic bond with covalent character

and factors that affect it

A

attraction of the cation to the valence shell electrons in the anion causes the polarisation of the electron cloud in the anion, pulling it into the region between the 2 nuclei, leading to some form of orbital overlap

  1. polarising power of cation (greater charge density, power increases)
  2. polarisability of anion (greater e- cloud size, power increases)
35
Q

AlF3 and AlCl3

A

AlF3 is ionic and AlCl3 is covalent (simple molecular)

AlF3 –> electron cloud size of F- is so small it is hard to be distorted

AlCl3 –> electron cloud size is large so e- cloud can be distorted by Al3+ with high charge density such that electron sharing becomes predominant
–> difference in electronegativity between Al and Cl is small enough for it to exist as a covalent compound
