Physical Flashcards
rate of reaction equation
amount of reactant used / time
lattice enthalpy of dissociation
enthalpy change when 1 mole of a solid ionic compound is completely dissociated into its gaseous ions under standard conditions.
define catalyst
a substance which increases the rate of a reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy without being chemically changed.
What did Niel Bohr discover
Proposed the fixed shells
Explain why atoms don’t collapse in on themselves
2 bonding pairs
0 lone pairs
linear (180)
Mass spectrum of sample
Electrospray - H+ is added so ratio is one unit greater
Electron impact - ratio is still equal
3 ways to measure reaction rates
- timing how long it takes for a precipitate to form (using a black dot under reaction vessel)
- measuring a decrease in mass
- measuring the volume of gas given off
define covalent bond
two atoms share electrons (two non metals)
3 bonding pairs
0 lone pairs
trigonal planar (120)
Nuclear model
Rutherford - 1909
enthalpy change of atomisation of a compound
enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound in its standard state is converted to gaseous atoms
a high positive entropy value indicates _____ disorder
high levels of
Electron impact
Sample is vaporised and high energy electron fired at it. Knocks off an electron.
units of entropy
JK-1 mol-1
define electronegativity
an atom’s ability to attract the electron pair in a covalent bond
equation for enthalpy change
total energy absorbed - total energy released
3 bonding pairs
2 lone pairs
T-shaped (88)
How does shielding affect ionisation energy
More electrons between the nucleus and outer electrons, the less attraction there is.
diamond structure
each carbon atom is bonded to 4 atoms in a tetrahedral structure
Exothermic definition
energy is given out
types of intermolecular forces
- Van der Waal (induced dipole)
- Dipole-dipole
- Hydrogen bonding
Solid sphere model
Dalton - 19th century
is bond making endo or exo
exothermic - energy is released
enthalpy change of atomisation of an element
enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms is formed from an element in its standard state
