High electronegativity is likely to do what to electrons
Attract
What is electronegativity
The attraction an element has for the shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond
Electronegativity: trends ACROSS period
Increases as number of protons increases
Electronegativity: tends DOWN a group
Electronegativity decreases due to increase in shells,
Difference in electronegativity that is lower than 0.3 means that:
PURE COVALENT,
Electronegativity difference between 0.3 and 1.8 means
Polar covalent
Electronegativity difference greater than 1.8 means it’s
Ionic
Covalent radius is
Half the distance between the nuclei of two covalently bonded atoms
Covalent Bond length can be calculated by
Adding together the radii of the two atoms bonding
Trends in covalent radius ACROSS a period
Decreases due to an increase in protons therefore tighter pull
Trends in covalent radius DOWN a group
Number of Electron shells increases therefore atoms get bigger
Which larger ionic radius Cl or Cl-
Cl- bcs it has an electron arrangement of 2,8,8 meaning it has 18 electrons which is more difficult for the 17 protons to hold tightly so it is bigger
Ionisation energies, endothermic or exothermic
Endothermic
First ionisation energy is the energy require to
Remove one mole of electrons from one mole of atoms in the gas phase
Ionisations energies are WHAT when an electron is removed from a full shell
MUCH MUCH MUCH LARGER
Why are ionisation energies greater when removing electrons from a full shell
Full shells are more stable and shells closer to the nucleus feel a stronger pull from the nucleus
Trends in ionisation energy ACROSS a period
It increases, due to the number of protons increasing whilst shielding remains constant
Trends in ionisation energy DOWN a group
Decreases, as going down a group the number of electron shells increases leading rn the outer electrons being held weakly
Covalent networks:
Don’t conduct and have high melting points, think a rigid net
Covalent molecule:
Don’t conduct and have low melting point, think a sploogy goo
Ionic:
High melting point, conducts as liquid or in a solution
Name of the force of attraction given to lone atoms and molecules
Van der Waal forces
LDF occur when:
The movement of electrons in an atom leading to one side being positive the other being negative, thus has an affect on nearby atoms
LDF, more electrons mean
Stronger force
