A

The power of an atom to attract the pair of electrons in a covalent bond

Fluorine, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine and bromine

3
Q

what is the trend in electronegativity across a period

A

increases

4
Q

why does electronegativity increase across a period

A

nuclear attraction on outer electrons decreases

5
Q

what is the trend in electronegativity down a group

A

decreases

6
Q

why does electronegativity decrease down a group

A

nuclear attraction on outer electron decreases

7
Q

do noble gases have electronegativity values?

A

no because they don’t normally form covalent bonds

8
Q

what is electronegativity like in a non polar bond

A

same atom so same electronegativity

electrons are evenly distributed

9
Q

what is electronegativity like in a polar covalent bond

A

significant difference in electronegativity

covalent bond where electrons are unevenly distributed

10
Q

what is electronegativity like in an ionic bond

A

difference so large that electrons permanently go to one of atoms forming ions

11
Q

what does delta mean

A

difference

12
Q

how do we show a negative charge on an atom involved in a polar bond

A

delta negative

13
Q

how do we show a positive charge on an atom involved in a polar bond

A

delta positive

14
Q

what do charges depend on

A

how electronegative the atom is- more electronegative- more power to attract electrons- negative

15
Q

what are hydrocarbons non-polar

A

carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativity

16
Q

what do polar bonds mean in a simple molecule

A

the whole molecule has an uneven distribution of electrons

17
Q

what happens in more complex molecules

A

the dipoles of the polar bonds may cancel out

18
Q

what decides whether dipoles cancel out or not

A

whether the molecule is symmetrical or not

19
Q

what are intermolecular forces

A

forces of attraction between molecules

20
Q

what are the three types of intermolecular force

A
  • van der Waals’ force
  • permanent dipole-dipole forces
  • hydrogen bonds
21
Q

which substances have van der Waals’ forces within them

A

all molecules and atoms

22
Q

which molecules contain permanent dipole-dipole forces (and VDW)

A

between polar molecules

23
Q

what is a hydrogen bond

A

special case of permanent dipole-dipole force

24
Q

where do hydrogen bonds occur (and VDW and permanent dipole-dipole)

A

where theres a delta plus hydrogen atom and either a nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine with a lone pair

25
Q

example of a molecule with hydrogen bonds

A

water

26
Q

what is special about intermolecular forces

A

molecules with hydrogen bonds also contain permanent dipole-dipole forces and VDW forces

molecules with permanent dipole-dipole forces also contain VDW forces

27
Q

What are VDW forces caused by

A

The movement of electrons which unbalances the charge distribution within the molecule. This creates an instantaneous dipole across the molecule

The instantaneous dipole is constantly forming and disappearing

28
Q

What does the dipole constantly forming and disappearing induct

A

A dipole in neighbouring molecules, resulting in weak forces of attraction between molecules

29
Q

VDW forces are present between all molecules but…

A

Not ions or metals

30
Q

What properties do non-polar molecules have

A

Relatively low boiling points

Generally gases/volatile liquids at room temperature

31
Q

Why do bigger molecules have larger induced dipoles

A

They have more electrons

32
Q

What do larger induced dipoles in bigger molecules result in

A

Stronger VDW forces between molecules

33
Q

Where do permanent dipole-dipole forces occur

A

Between molecules which have a permanent dipole

They occur in addition to VDW forces

The delta positive end of one molecule is attracted to the delta negative end of a neighbouring molecules

Stronger than VDW forces

34
Q

Where does hydrogen bonding occur

A

Between molecules which contain a hydrogen atom bonded to either F, O or N

Between a delta positive hydrogen atom in one molecule and a lone pair of electrons in an N, O or F in a neighbouring molecule

Occur in addition to VDW

Strongest intermolecular force

35
Q

Why do substances which contain hydrogen bonds have higher boiling points than expected

A

Due to the strength of the hydrogen bonds (strongest intermolecular force)

36
Q

Why do substances which contain hydrogen bonds dissolve in water

A

They form hydrogen bonds with water

37
Q

Why does ice float on water

A

The density of ice is less than that of water.

38
Q

Why does water expand when it solidifies (ice)

A

As the temperature gets to 0 degrees the water molecules are held further apart by hydrogen bonds in an open lattice

39
Q

What is sublimation

A

When a material goes straight from a solid to a gas eg. Iodine and carbon dioxide

40
Q

Energy is needed to change a substance from a solid to a gas to…

A

Overcome forces of attraction

41
Q

When is a bond polar

A

When there is an uneven distribution of electrons

42
Q

When is a bond polar

A

When there is an uneven distribution of electrons

43
Q

When is a bond polar

A

When there is an uneven distribution of electrons

44
Q

if there are charged particles which are free to move ie. delocalised electrons or mobile ions

45

ions held fixed in the lattice

56
Q

why can ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten/dissolved

A

ions free to move

57
Q

why are ionic substances brittle

A

if enough force is applied the layers slide over eachother because like charges move next to eachother, causing repulsion and the lattice structure breaks down

58

positive ions fixed

electrons free to move

59

metallic bonds are strong and extend through the giant metallic lattice

62

size and charge of metal ion (smaller and higher charged ions are stronger)

can be hammered or pressed into shape without breaking or cracking

64
Q

what is a ductile substance able to do

A

be drawn into a wire

65
Q

why are metals malleable/ductile

simple and giant/simple and macro-molecule

67
Q

describe the structure of a molecular crystal of iodine

A

covalent bonds between iodine atoms- weak VDW forces between i2 molecules

68
Q

why do simple covalent molecules have low melting points

A

all that Is needed is to overcome weak intermolecular forces (VDW,dipole-dipole, H-bonds)

69
Q

are simple covalent molecules soluble

A

usually insoluble in water unless they can form hydrogen bonds/react with water

70
Q

why don’t simple covalent molecules conduct electricity

no charged partices which are free to move, don’t contain ions/delocalised electrons

diamond, graphite and graphene

72
Q

why do macromolecular crystals have a high melting point

A

strong covalent bonds between all atoms. Lots of energy needed to break these

73
Q

why does diamond not conduct electricity

A

electrons are localised in the covalent bonds so are not free to move- no ions present

74
Q

why does graphite conduct electricity

A

one electron per carbon not involved in bonding and is delocalised along the layer

75
Q

why does graphene conduct electricity

A

better conductor than silver! delocalised electrons carry current

76
Q

why are the macromolecular crystals insoluble in water

A

covalent bonds are very strong and the lattice does not break up when any solvent is added
