Q

electron shielding definition

A

electron shielding is the decrease in the attraction of the outer shell electrons in the nucleus.
the greater the number of shells, the greater the electron shielding

Q

why are there small decreases in first ionisation energy in periods 2 and 3

A

-magnesium - the outer electrons are in a 3s orbital, whereas in aluminium the outer electron is in a 3p orbital. The 3p orbital is further from the nucleus so there is more electron shielding and distance from the nucleus so electrostatic attraction decreases. The second drop is from Phosphorus to Sulphur. This is because it is the first time electrons are paired up in 3p orbitals, so there is added electron-electron repulsion.

Q

trend in first ionisation energy across periods 2 and 3

A
  • first ionisation energies will increase
  • as you go along a period, atomic number increases (number of protons in nucleus) which means that atomic radius decreases and so there is a stronger electrostatic attraction between electrons and the nucleus
  • however there are small decreases in the first ionisation energy

Q

why are there small decreases in first ionisation energy across periods 2 and 3

Q

trend in melting points for giant metallic lattices

A
  • giant metallic lattice held together by strong metallic bonds between positive ions and delocalised electrons
  • large amount of energy needed to break the metallic bonds and melting points are high
  • melting point increases from lithium-beryllium and from sodium-magnesium-aluminium because the charge on the positive ion and number of delocalised electrons both increase.

Q

trend in melting points for simple molecular lattices

A

Q

solubility of giant covalent and metallic structures

A
  • A substance can dissolve. in water if it forms strong enough attractions with water molecules. Giant covalent and metallic substances cannot form these strong attractions with water, so they are insoluble.

28
Q

why is there decreases in mpts and bpts across periods 2 and 3

A
  • as we go across these periods, we are met with the metals first. for metals they have a large number of delocalised electrons which increases the strength of the metallic bonds that hold the metal together. because the metallic bonds are so strong, the melting point increases as it requires more energy to break these bonds.
  • once we reach the non metals in periods 2 and 3, the mpt decreases significantly
  • non metals arent held together by metallic bonds and in the case of oxygen and fluorine, their molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces. and in neon, the atoms are held together by weak dispersion forces. because these forces are so weak, it requires little energy to break the bonds

31
Q

why does successive ionisation energy increase between shells

A
  • because the closer the shell is to the nucleus, the easier it is to remove an electron from that shell
  • for example, in sodium, it has one outer shell electron and there is a big jump in ionisation energy from the first to second. This is because the second electron is being removed from a shell that is much closer to the nucleus, meaning there is stronger attraction from the nucleus.

Q

atomic radius trend as you go down a group

A

increases as you go down a group in the periodic table because extra electron shell is added each time, so the distance between the nucleus and outermost electron increases. This means that the attraction between the outermost electron and nucleus decreases

Q

atomic radius trend as you go across a period

A
  • decreases slightly as you go across a period, as the nuclear charge of the nucleus increases, which means that the nucleus pulls the outer electrons closer to it, which decreases the atomic radius.

A

for a reaction to take place, the reactant particles must collide with energy greater than or equal to the activation energy

87
Q

2 conditions that must be met for an effective collision

A
  • particles must collide with the correct orientation
  • particles must have sufficient energy to overcome activation energy barrier
88
Q

how does concentration affect rate of reaction

A
  • more concentrated = greater number of particles in given volume of solvent
  • increase in concentration causes increased collision frequency and therefore increased rate of reaction
89
Q

how does pressure affect rate of reaction

A
  • increase in pressure = molecules have less space to move as there is so many particles
  • number of effective collisions increase due to increased collision frequency
  • increase in pressure = increased rate of reaction
90
Q

what is a catalyst and what does it do

A
  • a substance that increases the rate of reaction without being consumed itself
  • a catalyst can form an ‘intermediate’ with a reactant or it may simply provide a surface on which the reaction takes place
  • provides an alternate pathway of lower activation energy for reaction
  • catalyst regenerated at end of reaction
91
Q

2 types of catalyst

A
  • homogenous
  • heterogenous
92
Q

homogenous catalyst

A
  • when catalyst is in the same physical state as the reactants
  • the catalyst forms an intermediate with the reactants then the intermediate breaks down to form a product
93
Q

heterogenous catalyst

A
  • when catalyst is in a different physical state as the reactants
  • usually the catalyst is a solid and reactants are gases
  • the gases adsorb to the surface of the solid catalysts where they react
  • the products form then desorb from surface
94
Q

catalysts and sustainability

A
  • hugely important in industry
  • save energy, resources, time, fossil fuels, money
  • lowers temperatures and reduces energy demand from combustion of fossil fuels which results in reduction in CO2 emissions
  • processes with high atom economy can be used
  • also speed up chemical processes for greater efficiency and profitability
  • catalysts regenerated so can be used many times
95
Q

what goes on x and y axis of boltzmann distribution curve

A

x = energy
y = number of molecules with a given energy

96
Q

what does the boltzmann distribution curve show

A
  • shows the energy of particles and the number of particles with a given energy
97
Q

what to remember about the boltzmann distribution

A
  • no molecules have 0 energy so curve always starts a bit forward on x axis
  • area under the curve is the total number of molecules
  • there is no maximum energy of molecules, the curve doesn’t meet x axis
98
Q

how is boltzmann distribution curve affected by increasing temperature

A
  • curve has a lower peak, and has a higher surface area under graph
  • shifted to the right
  • at higher temperatures, greater proportion of particles can overcome Ea
99
Q

how is boltzmann distribution curve affected by a catalyst

A
  • peak is higher
  • shifted a bit more to the right
  • lower Ea
  • curve reaches the ‘bottom’ at a steeper decline compared to graph without catalyst
100
Q

conditions for dynamic equilibrium

A

has to happen in a closed system (nothing can enter or leave reaction)

101
Q

how does a dynamic equilibrium occur

A

when rate of forwards reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction
( reactants making products at the same rate products are making reactants - concentrations don’t change)

102
Q

le chatelier’s principle

A
  • principle states that if a change is applied to a system in equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift to undo that change
  • if we increase pressure, equilibrium will shift to decrease pressure (shifts to side with less molecules)
  • if we decrease temperature, equilibrium will shift to increase temperature ( shifts in endothermic direction)
103
Q

how does a catalyst effect dynamic equilibrium

A
  • increases rate of forwards and backwards reaction by same amount resulting in unchanged position of equilibrium
104
Q

explain importance of compromise between chemical equilibrium and reaction rate in deciding operational conditions to chemical industry e.g haber process

A
  • le chatelier’s principle can be used to predict best conditions of temp and pressure to force position of equilibrium to the right to produce max yield of ammonia
  • ideal conditions for max ammonia yield = low temp and high pressure
  • iron catalyst also used
  • could use low temp but very slow rate of reaction so high temp needed to increase frequency of collisions
  • high pressure = high yield but its a safety risk and very expensive to generate
