S.2.1 Flashcards
(55 cards)
What is the ionic model?
A model that explains ionic bonding through the attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What is lattice enthalpy?
A measure of the strength of the ionic bond in a crystal lattice.
What is the relationship between ionic charge and lattice enthalpy?
Ionic charge = ionic attraction = lattice enthalpy.
How does ionic radius affect lattice enthalpy?
A larger ionic radius results in lower attraction of ions and lower lattice enthalpy.
Which ions have greater lattice enthalpy?
Ions with larger charge density due to their smaller radius.
What are the physical properties of ionic compounds?
High melting points, high boiling points, and low volatility.
True or False: Ionic compounds can dissolve in polar liquids.
True.
Fill in the blank: The tendency of a substance to vaporize is known as _______.
volatility.
What suffix is used to finish the names of ions?
-ide.
What must be true about the charges of cations and anions in a salt?
The charges of cation and anion should cancel each other out.
What is the effective nuclear charge experienced by outer electrons?
Less than the full nuclear charge due to the shielding effect.
What is the shielding effect?
Inner electrons reduce the attraction between the positively charged nucleus and outermost electrons.
How does the number of protons relate to the number of electrons in an atom?
Atoms are electrically neutral; the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
What occurs when oppositely charged ions meet?
They are pulled together by electrostatic attraction.
What is a polyatomic ion?
A molecule with a charge.
Define effective charge.
The net positive charge experienced by an electron, which is less than the full nuclear charge.
What is the ionization energy trend between metals and non-metals?
Metals form +ions and have low ionization energies; non-metals form -ions and have high ionization energies.
What does the ionic model assume about the structure of crystals?
That crystals are made up of spherical ions.
What is the significance of the effective nuclear charge in ionic compounds?
It influences the size of ions and their ability to form bonds.
What is the formula to calculate lattice enthalpy?
ΔHlattice | = k Q1Q2/ro
What is the typical charge of sodium in ionic compounds?
+1.
What is the typical charge of chlorine in ionic compounds?
-1.
What type of reactions occur between elements that are furthest apart in the periodic table?
More vigorous reactions occur between elements that are furthest apart in the periodic table.
What leads to greater ionic attraction?
Greater ionic charge leads to greater ionic attraction.
