#1
Front (Question)

Ionic bonding

Back (Answer)

Square Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions

#2
Front (Question)

Covalent

Back (Answer)

Circles joined Electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms

#3
Front (Question)

Polar

Back (Answer)

Difference in electronegativity, dipoles dont cancel out

#4
Front (Question)

How London forces appear

Back (Answer)

Electrons in an atom are constantly moving Electrons can become unevenly distributed, creating a slightly negative charge This creates a slightly positive charge in neighbouring molecule

#5
Front (Question)

Ionisation energy down groups

Back (Answer)

First ionisation energy decreases Atomic radius increases More inner shells so shielding increases Nuclear attraction on outer electrons decreases

#6
Front (Question)

Ionisation energy across periods

Back (Answer)

First ionisation energy increases Atomic radius decreases Nuclear charge increases Electrons on same shell so, similar shielding Nuclear attraction increases

#7
Front (Question)

Ionisation energy across periods exception

Back (Answer)

Boron - single electron in 2p sub shell Oxygen - electrons are paired in first p orbital. Electrons repel making it easier to lose the electron

#8
Front (Question)

Boron, carbon, silicon

Back (Answer)

Giant covalent lattices

#9
Front (Question)

Carbon

Back (Answer)

Each carbon atom forms 4 strong covalent bonds Insoluble Doesn’t conduct electricity High MP&BP

#10
Front (Question)

Graphite

Back (Answer)

Each carbon atom forms 3 strong covalent bonds meaning, 1 delocalised electron No bonds between layers so soft

#11
Front (Question)

Group 2

Back (Answer)

Ionisation energy decreases down group Nuclear attraction decreases due to increasing atomic radius & increased shielding Reactivity increases down group Solubility & pH also increase

#12
Front (Question)

Group 7

Back (Answer)

Diatomic, BP increases down group due to stronger London forces Reactivity decreases as less nuclear attraction so harder to gain electron

#13
Front (Question)

Chlorine - colour in solution, colour in cyclohexane, precipitate dissolves in

Back (Answer)

Pale green Pale green Dilute ammonia

#14
Front (Question)

Bromine - colour in solution, colour in cyclohexane, precipitate dissolves in

Back (Answer)

Orange Orange Concentration ammonia

#15
Front (Question)

Iodine - colour in solution, colour in cyclohexane, precipitate dissolves in

Back (Answer)

Brown Violet Doesn’t dissolve

#16
Front (Question)

Disproportionation

Back (Answer)

Element is simultaneously oxidised & reduced

#17
Front (Question)

Relative atomic mass

Back (Answer)

Weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of carbon-12

#18
Front (Question)

Two anomalous properties of ice caused by hydrogen bonding

Back (Answer)

Ice is less dense than water due to the hydrogen bonding creating an open lattice Ice also has a higher melting & boiling point as it contains hydrogen bonding which requires more energy to overcome

#19
Front (Question)

Explain why successive ionisation energies always increase

Back (Answer)

As each electron is removed, the outer shell is drawn closer to the nucleus. Nuclear attraction is greater and more energy is needed to remove the next electron

#20
Front (Question)

Explain why Al has a lower first ionisation energy than Mg Explain why S has a lower first ionisation energy than P

Back (Answer)

3p subshell in Al has a higher energy level than the 3s subshell in Mg. 3p electron is easier to remove. P has 3 electrons in 3p subshell, 1 electron in each 3p orbital. S has 4 electrons in 3p subshell, 2 electrons paired in 1 orbital and 1 electron in other 2 3p orbitals. Paired electrons in sulfur repel one another making it easier to remove one of those electrons

#21
Front (Question)

Properties of ionic compounds

Back (Answer)

Giant ionic lattice High M&BP as electrostatic force holding the ionic lattice together is strong & requires a lot of energy to overcome Molten - can conduct electricity as there are mobile ions to carry a charge Solid - ions in a fixed position. Brittle - when the layers of alternating charges are distorted, like charges repel, breaking apart the lattice into fragments Soluble - polar water molecules break down the lattice and surround each ion in solution

#22
Front (Question)

Electronegativity

Back (Answer)

Atoms ability to attract electrons towards itself in a covalent bond Increases across a period as atomic radius decreases & nuclear charge increases Decreases down a group as shielding increases and atomic radius increases so nuclear charge decreases

#23
Front (Question)

Simple molecular

Back (Answer)

Definite molecular formula, Non & non Simple molecular lattice Molecules are held in place by weak intermolecular forces Atoms within each molecule are bonded together strongly by covalent bonds

#24
Front (Question)

Properties of simple molecular

Back (Answer)

Weak intermolecular forces broken by small amounts of energy Low melting and boiling points Covalent bonds don’t break when heated No mobile particles to carry a charge Insoluble in polar solvents - intermolecular bonding within the polar solvent is too strong to be broken
