1s2 , 2s2 , 2p6 , 3s2, 3p6, 4s2 , 3d10

#3
Front (Question)

what are the rules when filling boxes to show electron configuration

Back (Answer)

• Folow the rule of electron configuration . • In each box arrows go in opposite directions.

#4
Front (Question)

How do you know the charge of a transition metal ion ?

Back (Answer)

Hydrogen is given in roman numerals

#5
Front (Question)

what are the charges of protons , neutrons and electrons ?

Back (Answer)

Proton = +1 Neutron = 0 Electron = -1

#6
Front (Question)

what are the masses of protons , neutrons and electrons

Back (Answer)

Proton = 1 neutron = 1 Electron = very small

#7
Front (Question)

what are the 3 types of bonding and where do they occur

Back (Answer)

Covalent bonding - non metals only Metallic bonding - Metal only ionic bonding - non metals and metals

#8
Front (Question)

why do ionic substances have a high melting and boiling point ?

Back (Answer)

This is because of the strong electrostatic force of attraction holding the opposite charged ions together and a large number of ionic bonds in an ionic lattice.

#9
Front (Question)

why do ionic substances don’t conduct electricity when solid ?

Back (Answer)

Ionic compound cannot conduct electricity when solid as their ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move.

#10
Front (Question)

why do ionic substances conduct electricity when molten or liquid ?

Back (Answer)

Ionic substances conduct electricity when molten or liquid because ions are free to move in the substance.

#11
Front (Question)

why do covalent substances have a low melting and boiling point ?

Back (Answer)

Covalent substances have a low melting and boiling point due to the weak intermolecular substances . Little energy is needed to break the covalent substances.

#12
Front (Question)

why do covalent substance do not conduct electricity ?

Back (Answer)

covalent substances do not conduct electricity because there are no charged particles to move and carry charge. Most covalent compounds are insoluble in water.

#13
Front (Question)

why do metallic substances have a high melting and boiling point ?

Back (Answer)

This is because the increased positive charge on the metal ions and the increased number of electrons that are delocalised . this means stronger bonding

#14
Front (Question)

why do metallic substances do conduct electricity ?

Back (Answer)

Metallic substances conduct electricity because they have free electrons or delocalised electrons

#15
Front (Question)

why are metallic substances malleable and ductile ?

Back (Answer)

They are due to structure of their atoms which allows layers to slide over each other . Metals are made of a positive ion lattice surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons

#16
Front (Question)

what is the meaning of dative / coordinate bonding ?

Back (Answer)

Dative or coordinate bonding is a shared pair of electrons from the same element.

#17
Front (Question)

what is the definition of electronegativity ?

Back (Answer)

Electronegativity is the tendency of an element to attract a shared pair of electrons towards it in a covalent bond.

#18
Front (Question)

where are electronegative elements found ?

Back (Answer)

Electronegative elements are found on the top right of the periodic table .

#19
Front (Question)

what are examples of some electronegative elements in the periodic table ?

Back (Answer)

Fluorine , Nitrogen , oxygen and chlorine

#20
Front (Question)

what are the 3 types of intermolecular forces

Back (Answer)

London forces ( van der woels ) Permeant dipole dipole forces Hydrogen bonding

#21
Front (Question)

what is the order of strength for intermolecular forces ?

Back (Answer)

Weakest to strongest : London forces , permanent dipole forces, hydrogen bonding.

#22
Front (Question)

where do London forces occur ?

Back (Answer)

London forces occur between all molecules and compounds .

#23
Front (Question)

why do London forces occurs ?

Back (Answer)

London forces occur because of a temporary dipole caused by an uneven distribution of electrons.

#24
Front (Question)

what is the definition of the word malleable ?

Back (Answer)

Malleable means the metal can change shape.
