  • Relative Atomic Mass

  • Empirical Formula
    Simplest ratio of atoms of each element in the compound
  • Oxidation
    Losing electrons, losing hydrogen -> Positive -> Increases oxidation number
  • Reduction
    Gaining electrons, gaining hydrogen -> negative -> decreases oxidation number
  • Rules for Oxidation numbers
    1. Uncombined elements = 0
    2. Sum of numbers in a compound = 0
    3. Monoatomic ions = charge
    4. Polyatomic ions = sum of OZ
  • Invariable ON
    Group 1 = +1
    Group 2 = +2
    Al = +3
    H = +1 -> non metal and -1 -> metals
    F = -1
    Cl, Br, I = -1
    O = -2, -1 w/ F
  • Disproportionation
    When the same species gets reduced and oxidised.
  • Electron Structure
    Principal Level (1,2,3,4...) -> Sub levels (spdf) -> Orbitals (Holds up to 2 e- in opposite spins)
  • Ionic bonding
    Electrostatic force of attraction between 2 oppositely charged ions.
  • Ionic bonding
    Ionic bonding is stronger and the melting points higher when the ions are smaller and/ or have higher charges.
    Giant ionic lattice
    High MP
    Non conductors when solid = Ions aren't free to move
    Usually soluble in aqueous solutions
  • Covalent Bonding
    Strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms
    Simple Molecular
  • Dative Covalent Bonding
    When the shared pair of e- in the covalent bond comes from only one of the bonding atoms.
  • Giant Ionic
    Mp + Bp = High -> Giant lattice of ions with strong electrostatic forces
    Good solubility in water
    Poor conductors when solid -> Ions can't move
    Good conductors when liquid -> ions are free to move
  • Simple Molecular
    Mp + Bp = Low -> Weak intermolecular forces b/t molecule -> induced dipole interaction + hydrogen bonding
    Poor solubility in water
    Poor solid conductor -> e- are fixed in place
    Poor liquid conductors -> No ions to carry charge
  • Linear
    Bonding = 2
    Lone = 0
    Bond Angle = 180
    CO2, CS2, HCN, BeF2
  • Trigonal Planar

    SF6
  • Explaining bond angles
    1. How many bond pairs
    2. How many lone pairs
    3. lp = 0, bond pairs repel equally and move as far apart as possible
    4. lp > 0, lp repel more than bp
  • Electronegativity
    The ability of an atom to attract the bonding electrons in a covalent bond towards itself.
  • Factors effecting electronegativity
    increases across a period -> no. of p+ increases = AR decreases b/c e- in the same shell are pulled in more (greater nuclear attraction)
    Decreases down a group -> distance b/t nucleus + outer e- increases + shielding
  • Permanent Dipole
    Forms when elements have different electronegativities, unequal distribution of electrons in the bond creates a dipole. Molecule isn't symmetrical (all bonds identical + no lone pair)-> dipoles don't cancel.

    Long alkanes = large SA of contact b/t molecules to induce dipole-dipole interactions
  • Induced dipole - dipole = London Forces
    Occur b/t all molecular substances and noble gases, not in ionic substances. Uneven distribution of e- creates a slightly -ve and slightly +ve charges on either side of the atom. When a temporary dipole is establishes, it induces a temporary dipole on its neighbouring molecules
  • Hydrogen Bonding
    Occurs in compounds when Hydrogen is attached to N/O/F (available lone pair)
    Large electronegative difference between H and N/O/F.
    Strongest bond
    Type of permanent dipole dipole
  • Periodicity
    A repeating pattern across different periods
  • Atomic Radius
    Decreases = Left to Right -> increase no of p+ = more +ve charge attraction for e- in the same shell
  • First ionisation energy
    Energy needed to remove one mole of e- from one mole of gaseous atoms to create one mole of gaseous 1+ ions.
    H(g) -.> H+(g) + e-
  • Factors affecting Ionisation energy
    Nuclear Attraction -> More p+ in nucleus = greater attraction
    Atomic Radius -> Bigger atom = e- on outer shell are further away from nucleus = weaker attraction to nucleus
    Shielding -> e- in an outer shell is repelled by e- in complete inner shells (weakens nuclear attractions)
  • Metallic Bonding
    Electrostatic forces of attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons
  • Longer straight chain = induced dipole dipole interaction
    More IDDI Forces = more energy is needed to overcome these forces (cuz more e-)
    Less IDDI Forces = Less energy is needed to overcome these forces -> since branched, they can't pack closely together which decreases surface contact b/t molecules
  • Catalyst
    A substance that increases the rate of reaction by providing the reaction with an alternative pathway that has a lower activation energy. Catalyst is chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction.
  • Free Radical Substitution
    Alkane -> Halagenoalkane
  • Sigma Bond
    When 2 s orbitals over lap
  • Pi bond
    Sideways overlap of a 2 p orbitals
