    F) molar volume (24)
  • when an atom gains an electron to become an ion, it increases in size due to the addition of an extra electron
  • in an equation of enthalpy of combustion, the reactant (carbohydrate) cant have more than one mole or it would become a different carbohydrate, its products must always be CO2 and H2O
  • why there is an increase in first ionisation energy from elements?
    increasing number of protons increases nuclear charge, therefore holds electrons closer
  • Explain fully the large increase between the first and second ionisation energies of sodium?
    involves the removal of an electron from an electron shell more closer to the nucleus
  • State what is meant by the term electronegativity?
    electronegativity is the measure of attraction the nucleus has for the electrons in a bond
  • Explain fully why electronegativity decreases going down a group?
    increased number of electron shells, therefore more screening, covalent radius increases so attraction of nucleus of shared electrons decreases
  • Why do boiling points increase going down a group?
    intermolecular forces increase going down a group
    LDF are the forces broken between molecules
    the more electrons the stronger the LDFs
  • Explain fully why silicon oxide has a much higher melting point than silicon hydride?
    covalent bonds are broken
    intermolecular forces are broken
    covalent bonding are stronger than LDFs
  • in exothermic reactions, the reactants have more potential energy than the prodcuts
  • in endothermic reactions the reactants have less potential energy than the products
  • ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of atoms in a gaseous state
  • ionisation decreases down a group as the outer electrons are further from the nucleus and are more shielded from the nucleus's pull making them easier to remove from their energy level
  • as we go across a group, ionisation energy increases as the number of protons and nuclear charge increases, pulling electrons closer
  • noble gases have the highest ionisation energy as they all have stable electron shells meaning the removal of an electron requires more energy, greater attraction between nucleus and outer electrons
  • covalent radius increases down a group as the number of electron shells increases
  • covalent radius decreases going across a period due to increased nuclear charge, causing electron shells to be pulled closer
  • covalent radius is half the distance between two bonded atoms
  • electronegativity is the attraction an atom has for the shared electrons in a bond
  • the higher the electronegativity the more ionic
  • electronegativity increases across a period as the number of protons and nuclear charge increases, pulling electrons closer to the nucleus and increasing attraction
  • electronegativity for noble gases can't be measured as they have a stable electron arrangement
  • the higher the electronegativity the higher attraction for bonding electrons
  • positive ions decrease the covalent radius, while negative ions increase the covalent radius
  • why do melting and boiling points increase going down a group? (include intermolecular forces)
    • intermolecular forces increase going down a group
    • LDFs are broken
    • the more electrons the stronger the LDFs
  • ionisation energy INCREASES across a period, and DECREASES down a group
  • the mole ratio of glycerol molecules to fatty acid molecules is 1:3
  • First 20 elements in the periodic table categorised by bonding and structure
    • Metallic (Li, Be, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca)
    • Covalent molecular — H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, P4, S8 and fullerenes (eg C60)
    • Covalent networkB, C (diamond, graphite), Si
    • Monatomic (noble gases)
  • Covalent radius
    A measure of the size of an atom
  • First ionisation energy
    The energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms
  • Electronegativity
    A measure of the attraction an atom involved in a bond has for the electrons of the bond
  • Covalent bond
    Atoms share pairs of electrons
  • Polar covalent bond
    Formed when the attraction of the atoms for the pair of bonding electrons is different, resulting in partial charges (delta+ and delta-)
  • Ionic bond
    Electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions
  • Pure covalent bonding and ionic bonding can be considered as opposite ends of a bonding continuum, with polar covalent bonding lying between these two extremes
  • The difference in electronegativities between bonded atoms gives an indication of the ionic character. The larger the difference, the more polar the bond will be
  • Intermolecular forces
    Attractive forces that exist between molecules or discrete atoms
  • Types of intermolecular forces
    • London dispersion forces
    • Permanent dipole-permanent dipole interactions (including hydrogen bonding)
  • London dispersion forces
    Forces of attraction that can operate between all atoms and molecules, formed as a result of electrostatic attraction between temporary dipoles and induced dipoles
  • The strength of London dispersion forces is related to the number of electrons within an atom or molecule
