Q

is the bonding stronger in Mg or Na, and why?

A
  • the bonding in magnesium is stronger than in sodium because:
  • Mg²⁺ ions have a higher charge than Na⁺ ions (2+ vs +)
  • Mg²⁺ has double the number of delocalised electrons than Na⁺
  • Mg²⁺ ion is smaller than Na⁺ ion
  • therefore, Mg²⁺ has a greater electrostatic attraction to the sea of delocalised electrons, than Na⁺

macromolecular - arranged in layers which can slide over each other
56
why can layers slide over each other in graphite?
layers held together by weak IMF
57
what are the properties of graphite?
- malleable - conductor - high melting point
58
why is graphite malleable?
arranged in layers which can slide over each other; layers held together by weak IMF
59
why is graphite a conductor?
each carbon atom has a delocalised electron which can carry charge/current through the structure
60
why do simple molecular structures have a low BP/MP?
- when a simple molecular substance melts/boils it is the IMF that are broken - IMF are much weaker than covalent bonds so simple molecular compounds have low MP

71
Draw the dot-cross diagram for C₂H₂
- carbon likes to form 4 bonds - hydrogen can only form 1 bond - therefore the bonds Hydrogen can make are with carbon, and the carbons must triple bond to each other to gain 8

76
what are the features of a coordinate bond?
once a coordinate bond has formed, it behaves in exactly the same way as a covalent bond - same length and strength
77
draw a diagram to represent the coordinate bond in an ammonium ion
78
what is Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory?
Bonding pairs and lone pairs of electrons are arranged in charged clouds that repel each other; to minimise repulsion, electron pairs try to get as far apart as possible
79
summarise the strength of repulsion of different bonds according to VSEPR theory
- lone pairs repel more than bonding pairs - lone pair⇒lone pair is strongest repulsion - then lone pair⇒bonding pair - bonding pair⇒bonding pair is weakest repulsion

115
define electronegativity
the power of an atom to attract a pair of electrons in a covalent bond
116
what is the Pauling Scale
used as a measure of electronegativity. Each element is assigned a number between 0 and 4; the higher the number the more electronegative the element is
117
what 3 factors determine electronegativity?
- Nuclear charge - Atomic radius - Shielding
118
describe the trend in electronegativity across period 2
- nuclear charge increases - atomic radius decreases - shielding remains the same - the ability to attract electrons in a covalent bond increases
119
When and how does polarity occur?
- When there is a difference in electronegativity within a molecule: - electron distribution is asymmetrical - this produces a polar covalent bond - the atom with a greater electron density is given a delta - charge, and atoms with a lower electron density are given a delta + charge
120
How do you work out if a molecule is polar?
- If a molecule has a lone pair, it is polar (excluding square planar) - If the central atom of the molecule has different atoms attached, it is polar - Charge of an ion doesn't affect its polarity
121
is BF3 polar or non-polar, and why?
dipoles act in exactly opposite directions as the molecule is symmetrical, so the dipoles cancel, therefore non-polar
122
is NH3 polar or non-polar, and why?
dipoles do not cancel as the molecule is not symmetrical, therefore polar
123
is CHCl3 polar or non-polar, and why?
dipoles do not cancel as the molecule is not symmetrical, therefore polar
124
what are the 3 types of IMF?
- induced dipole-dipole (Van der Waals) forces - permanent dipole-dipole forces - hydrogen bonding
125
how do you work out high high the BP/MP of a substance will be?
- once you know the strongest type of IMF a molecule will have, you can make statements about which molecule will have a higher MP/BP - The stronger the force between the molecules, the more energy required to break the IMF, and the higher the MP/BP
126
when does hydrogen bonding occur?
occurs between H (bonded to N, O, or F) and lone pair on a N, O, or F atom on another atom
127
what is the strongest IMF?
hydrogen bonding
128
describe how a hydrogen bond arises
- very large difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen [state which atoms!] - creates a dipole on the O-H bond [state which bond!] - lone pair on oxygen atom [state which atom!] in one molecule strongly attracts a partially positive hydrogen atom on a different molecule
129
draw a hydrogen bond
- M1: lone pairs on each O atom and delta + and delta - on each O-H bond - M2: dotted line shown between lone pair on one molecule and correct H on another - M3: O - - - - - H-O in straight line
130
how strong are p.d.d?
generally weaker than hydrogen bonding (although a bigger molecule with p.d.d will have higher MP than hydrogen bonding molecule which is smaller)
131
when does a p.d.d arise?
occurs between polar molecules
132
how does p.d.d. arise?
- difference in electronegativity leads to bond polarity - dipoles don't cancel, therefore molecule has overall permanent dipole - attraction between delta + on one molecule and delta - on another
133
how is p.d.d drawn?
134
how strong is i.d.d.?
generally weakest force but can be stronger than both hydrogen bonds and p.d.d if the molecule is large, due to the number of electrons increasing within the molecule
135
when does i.d.d. occur?
occurs between all molecules (and atoms of noble gases) but is the important force for non-polar molecules (molecules that do not also have other IMFs
136
how does i.d.d. arise?
- Random movement of electrons in one molecule (atom) leads to an uneven distribution of electrons, creating a temporary dipole in one molecule (atom) - this induces a dipole in a neighbouring molecule (atom) - dipoles attract
137
how is i.d.d. drawn?
138
in what 3 things is hydrogen bonding important and why?
- ice is less dense than water because the hydrogen bonds in ice hold the molecules further apart - proteins are held in their complex 3D shapes by hydrogen bonds - the 2 strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen-bonding; these hydrogen bonds are strong enough to hold the strands together, but weak enough so they can separate during cell division
139
describe the trends in MP/BP across period 3
- general trend is that MP/BP increase and then decrease across the period - From Na ⇒ Mg ⇒ Al the MP increases due to stronger metallic bonds - Na forms Na+ ions, Mg forms Mg2+, Al forms Al3+ and atomic radius decreases - silicon has highest MP due to its giant macromolecular structure, very similar to diamond, held together by strong covalent bonds; these require a lot of energy to break, hence Si has a very high MP - P, S, Cl, Ar all exist as simple covalent molecules. P forms P4 tetrahedrons, S forms S8 rings, Cl forms Cl2 diatomic molecules. As S8 rings are the biggest of the 3 molecules, they have the strongest i.d.d forces, and so have the higher MP/BP. P4 tetrahedrons are next in size order, and so have a slightly lower MP/BP. Cl2 molecules are the smallest of the 3, have weakest i.d.d. forces, and so lowest MP/BP - Silicon has the highest MP but Aluminium has the highest BP. In order to melt silicon a lot of energy is needed to break strong covalent bonds and hence a high temperature is needed however once molten, relatively little more energy is then needed to vapourise it, and so the BP isn't that much higher than MP. compared to Al, once molten a lot of energy is still needed to overcome strong electrostatic metallic bonds, and so Al has a very high BP
140
why is the BP of Br different from Mg, and why is Mg liquid over a much greater temperature range?
- bromine is simple molecular structure with weak i.d.d forces between molecules - magnesium has metallic bonding in a giant metallic lattice, and more energy is needed to overcome stronger metallic bonds - magnesium has a much greater liquid range because forces of attraction in liquid are stronger
141
Why does I2 have a higher BP than HCl?
- I2 has i.d.d forces as it is non-polar - HCl has p.d.d. forces as it is polar - the i.d.d. IMF between I2 molecules is stronger than the p.d.d. IMF between HCl molecules because I2 has a lot more electrons than HCl
142
draw a diagram of and describe the structure of iodine
regular arrangement of I2 molecules held together by weak van der Waals forces
143
draw a diagram of and describe the structure of ice
each water molecule has 2 covalent bonds and 2 hydrogen bonds in a tetrahedral arrangement
