    What is the trend for ionic radii down a group

    Increasing ionic radii as there are more shells of electrons

    What is the trend for ionic radii across a period

    decreasing ionic radii because the nuclear charge increases as we go across a period the outer electrons are more strongly attracted to nucleus so smaller ion

    Why is the ionic radii of positive ions smaller then their corresponding atomic radii

    There is increased effective nuclear charge because the ions have lost an electron so the attraction between outer e and nucleus is stronger. Sometimes positive ions lose an entire outer shell making them much smaller

    Why is the ionic radii of negative ions greater than their corresponding atomic radii

    The ion has gained an electrons so there is more electron-electron repulsion and the electron cloud is larger

    What happens to isoelectronic ions in a series where the atomic number increases

    The nuclear charge increases because there are more protons meaning the attraction between the nucleus and the electron cloud increases so their ionic radius decreases

    What is Lattice energy

    the energy change when one mole of an ionic solid is formed from its gaseous ions. More energy released means stronger ionic bonding

    What is the melting point of metals like

    High. Strong electrostatic attraction between the delocalised electrons and the cations. Takes a lot of energy to overcome

    When can metals conduct electricity

    When metals are solids and molten they can conduct electricity. They have delocalised electrons can move through the structure carrying charge

    What is the conduction of heat by metals like

    Good. Delocalised electrons can move through the structure carrying a flow of charge

    What is covalent bonding

    the electrostatic attraction between two nuclei and the shared pair of electrons between them

    Why is methane a gas at room temperature

    it is a simple molecular structure and intermolecular bonds between the molecules is weak and takes little energy to overcome

    What is a lone pair

    lone pair of electrons is a pair of electrons in the outer shell of one of the atoms in a molecule or ion which isn't involved in bonding

    What is a dative covalent bond

    a dative covalent bond is a bond in which two atoms share electrons, both the electrons being donated by one atom

    What is a covalent bond

    the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the shared bonding pairs of electrons whose orbitals have overlapped

    What are the two types of covalent bonds you need to know

    Pi bonds and sigma bonds

    Why is a double bond shorter then a single bond

    a double bond is more electron dense because it involves the sharing of 4 electrons which makes the bond shorter as the bond is stronger

    Why is the bond of F-F weaker then Cl-Cl

    because F atoms are smaller so the lone pair of electrons are closer together and this causes more repulsion

    What is the melting/boiling point of simple molecular structures like

    low because only the intermolecular forces have to be broken

    What is the solubility of simple molecular structures

    they are more soluble in non-polar solvents such as hexane than water because many simple covalent substances don't form covalent bonds with water

    why do simple molecular structures not conduct electricity as solids liquids or gases

    they have no overall charge and have no delocalised electrons which can move or carry charge

    What is a crystalline structure

    A highly ordered arrangement of atoms , ions or molecules extending in all directions

    What type of bonding is in simple molecular structures

    covalent

    Why are giant ionic lattice structures brittle

    If you shift the layers of ions over there are forces of repulsion as there are like charges opposite each other

    do giant covalent structures like diamond conduct electricity

    no as they have no mobile charged particles

    What is ice a type of

    simple molecular structure

    What is the theory that we can use to predict the shapes of simple molecules

    Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory

    What is the name of a molecule that contains 3 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair

    Trigonal pyramidal

    The ability of an atom to attract the bonding electrons in a covalent bond

    What's the bonding angle in a V-shaped molecule

    104.5

    What's the bonding angle in a trigonal pyramidal structure

    What would the electron density map for a covalent bond look like

    Electrons distributer evenely

    What would the electron density map look like for an ionic bond

    2 distinct regions of electron density

    What would the electron density map for a polar covalent bond look like

    Distribution if electrons is not even and a dipole is formed

    What 3 factors affect electro negativity

    Size of the atom Shielding Proton number

    What is the trend in electro negativity down a group

    Electro negativity decreases

    What is the trend in electro negativity across a period

    Electro negativity increases

    What is the minimum electro negativity difference needed to form a polar bond

    0.5

    What is an instantaneous dipole

    Due to the mobile nature of electrons the electron density randomly fluctuates around the molecule causing dipoles

    What is the name when an instantaneous dipole causes a dipole in another molecule

    Induced dipole

    What factor affects strength of London forces

    Number of electrons

    What factors affect permanent dipole interactions

    The greater the difference in negativity

    Describe the names of bonds with increasing ionic character

    Covalent, polar covalent and ionic

    Describe the structure of graphite

    Giant covalent. Each carbon is bonded to 3 others in flat hexagonal sheets so there is 1 delocalised electron per carbon. There are weak intermolecular forces between the layers.

    What's the structure of diamond

    Each carbon atom covalently bonded to 4 others and forms a rigid tetrahedral structure

    What happen to the strength of metals when the cation is more positively charged

    Increases the attraction between cation and sea of delocalised electrons because more electrons are released into the sea

    Why are metals malleable

    The layers of positive ions are able to slide over each other and are held by the sea of delocalised electrons
