#1
Front (Question)

whats a co-ordinate/dative bond?

Back (Answer)

a bond that contains a shared pair of electrons with both electrons supplied by one atom. once formed is the same as any other covalent bond. this is represented by an arrow.

#2
Front (Question)

what are the 4 types of crystal structure?

Back (Answer)

• ionic • metallic • macromolecular ( giant covalent) • simple molecular

#3
Front (Question)

what are the properties of an ionic compound?

Back (Answer)

• high mpt and bpt • strong electrostatic forces so a lot of energy is required to overcome.

#4
Front (Question)

what are the properties of a simple molecular compound?

Back (Answer)

• less than 20 bonds • covalently bonded molecules held together by weak van der waals forces. • low mpt and bpt

#5
Front (Question)

describe a linear molecule shape.

Back (Answer)

• 2 bonding pairs • 0 lone pairs • 180 bond angle Cl —– Be —– Cl

describe a trigonal planar shaped molecule.

Back (Answer)

• 3 bond pairs • 0 lone pairs • 120 bond angle F | B / \ F F

#8
Front (Question)

describe a triangular pyramid shaped molecule.

Back (Answer)

• 3 bond pairs • 1 lone pair • 107 bond angle .. N / | \ H H H

#9
Front (Question)

describe a tetrahydral shaped molecule.

Back (Answer)

• 4 bond pairs • 0 lone pairs • 109.5 bond angle H | C / \ \ H H H

#10
Front (Question)

describe a trigonal bi-pyramid shaped molecule.

Back (Answer)

• 5 bond pairs • 0 lone pairs • 90 and 120 bond angles B B \ | B —- A —- B | B

#11
Front (Question)

describe a octahedral shaped molecule.

Back (Answer)

• 6 bond pairs • 0 lone pairs • 90 bond angle F F F \ | / S / | \ F F F

#12
Front (Question)

describe a square planar shaped molecule.

Back (Answer)

• 4 bond angles • 2 lone pairs • 90 bond angle B B \ .. / A / .. \ B B

#13
Front (Question)

what are the different type of repulsions?

Back (Answer)

• lone pair, lone pair repulsion which is the greatest. • lone pair, bond pair repulsion. • bond pair, bond pair repulsion which is the lowest.

#14
Front (Question)

what is bond polarity?

Back (Answer)

when the negative charge around a covalent bond isnt evenly spread around the orbitals of the bonded atoms.

#15
Front (Question)

what is elecronegativity?

Back (Answer)

• the power of an atom to attract negative charge towards itself within a covalent bond. • it increases along a period as atomic radius decreases and decreases down a group as shielding increases.

#16
Front (Question)

what is a permanent dipole?

Back (Answer)

• exists between polar molecules. • the more electronegative atom draws the negative charge towards itself. • The greater the polarity of a bond or molecule, the stronger the permanent dipole-dipole interactions. • can align to form a lattice of molecules similar to an ionic l lattice.

#17
Front (Question)

what is an induced dipole?

Back (Answer)

• can form when the electron orbitals around a molecule are influenced by another charged particle. A + B - A B A + B - A+ B-

#18
Front (Question)

name the different types of intermolecular forces?

Back (Answer)

• van der waals • permanent dipole • hydrogen bonds

#19
Front (Question)

describe van der waals force.

Back (Answer)

• weakest type • acts as an induced dipole between molecules. • the larger the Mr, the stronger the intermolecular forces. • straight chain molecules experience stronger van der waals forces than branched chain molecules as they can line up and pack closer together, reducing the distance over which the forces acts, therefore stronger.

#20
Front (Question)

describe hydrogen bonding.

Back (Answer)

• strongest type • only forms between hydrogen and the 3 worst most electronegative atoms: . nitrogen . oxygen . fluorine . the lone pair on these atoms forms a bond with a hydrogen atom from another molecule, shown with a dotted line. • much hight mpt and bpt

#21
Front (Question)

Why is the C-Cl bond polar?

Back (Answer)

• Cl has a higher electronegativity than the C • Electron density is unsymmetrical

#22
Front (Question)

What causes van der waal forces to arise?

Back (Answer)

• random movement of electrons forms a temporary dipole • induces a dipole in another molecule • dipoles in different molecules attract

#23
Front (Question)

why does silcon oxide have a higer mpt tha phosphorous oxide?

Back (Answer)

• silcon oxide is a giant covalent molecule • it has very strong covalent bonds • phosphorus oxide is a simple covalent molecule • it has weaker van der waal forces between molecules

#24
Front (Question)

why would a molecule be non-polar?

Back (Answer)

• polarity is evenly distributed • dipoles cancel out
