from bonding/ionic to covalent/ionic

22
Q

down the periodic table

A

metallic activity increased
atomic radius increase
EN decreases

23
Q

Polar Bonds

A

when a bonding pair of electrons is shared unequally and is not distrusted uni formally between the nuclei of two atoms, a polar bond is formed
when atoms have > 0.4 difference in EN and

24
Q

polar molecules

A

molecules containing only non-polar bonds will be non-polar molecules

in a polar molecule one end of the molecule is slightly negative and one end is slightly positive

25
intermolecular forces
secondary bonding between molecules determines some physical properties: melting point possible solvents three types: dispersion forces (vanderwaals force) dipole-dipole hydrogen bonding
26
dispersion forces
operate between ALL types of molecules only force of attraction between non polar molecules ``` influenced by: number of atoms number of electrons polarity or non polarity of the molecule(shape) size of the molecule ``` very weak ELECTRONS ARE ALWAYS MOVING IN A COVALENT BOND AND ARE MOVING ABOUT BOTH ATOMS THUS TEMPORARY DIPOLES ARE FORMED DUE TO TEMPORARY DIPOLE FORMED IN ONE MOLECULE, THE ELECTRONS OF NEARBY MOLECULES WILL ADJUST TO FORM TEMPORARY DIPLES (INDUCED DIPOLES)
27
dipole dipole forces
only between polar molecules polar bonds are present permanent dipoles higher mp and bo than similar non polar molecules
28
hydrogen bonding
special case of dipole dipole reactions much stronger than dipole dipole molecule will have a H atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom H - N H - O H - F very large fractional charges very strong attraction between the molecules THE LARGE POSITIVE FRACTIONAL CHARGE ON A H ATOM COVALENTLY BONDED TO A VERY LARGE EN F ATOM IS ATTRACTED TO TJE NEGATIVE FRACTIONAL CHARGE ON A F ATOM ON A NEIGHBOURING MOLECULE
29
solute
the minor component in the solution, is being dissolved
30
solvent
the liquid in which a solute is dissolved in
31
strong and weak bases
strength of base is determined by production of OH ions strong bases dissociate completely NaOH +aq = Na+ +OH- weak bases dissociate partially NH3 + h2o >
32
physical properties of bases
``` bitter soapy generally colourless can conduct electricity reacts with indicators to give characteristic colours ``` turns yellow in methyl orange pink in phenolphthalein blue in bromythol blue
33
metallic oxides
generally basic oxides | if water soluble, form alkaline solution
34
non metallic oxides
acidic oxides
35
Properties of acids
``` be in form solid liquid or gas sour taste do not conduct electricity in pure form need to add water for electrical conductivity (ions must be formed) Covalent bonding and molecular structure means low melting and low boiling pints detected with indicators methyl orange - pink ```
36
aim of titration a
The purpose of a titration experiment is to discover the concentration of an unknown acid or base, by neutralizing it with a measured quantity of a base or acid solution whose concentration is known. In titrations, the known solution is the titrant and the unknown solution is the analyte.
