1
New cards

Ionic Compounds are between what

metal and nonmetal

2
New cards

general properties of ionic compound?

brittle, high boiling point, good insulators as solids, between metal/ nonmetal

3
New cards

Ionic compounds are dissolved by what kind of covalent compound?

polar

4
New cards

What are the factors of lattice energy?

Higher charge= higher Lattice energy…more distance= higher Lattice energy.. size of ion decreases when there is more lattice energy

5
New cards

What are hydrocarbons? Are they polar or nonpolar?

Organic compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon; nonpolar

6
New cards

Which ones dissolved by water?

Propanol, ethanol, methanol

7
New cards

What is IMF???

Attractive forces that act between molecules, atoms or ions to determine substances physical properties

8
New cards

What is the main IMF for polar molecules?

Dipole- Dipole

9
New cards

What is the main IMF for nonpolar forces?

London Dispersion Forces

10
New cards

Noble gases have which IMF?

only London Dispersion

11
New cards

Which Noble gas has the highest IMF?

Xenon; largest atomic radius, high number of electrons, high polarazibility

12
New cards

Which halogen molecule has the largest IMF?

I2;solid state at room temperature, highest melting point

13
New cards

How does having a higher IMF affect boiling points and melting points???

More thermal energy is required to overcome stronger attractions between molecules .. particles are held together more tightly , making it harder to transition from solid to liquid, a liquid to gas

14
New cards

Rank IMF from strongest to weakest

  1. LDF

  2. . Dipole- Dipole

  3. Hydrogen Bonding

15
New cards

examples of molecules w LDF

Ch4, CO2, O2, He

16
New cards

examples of molecules with Dipole- Dipole

HCl, SO2, CH2Cl2

17
New cards

molecules w Hydrogen bonding

H2O, NH3, CH3OH

18
New cards

Polar covalent compound definition

Shares electrons unequally; has CHARGED ENDS

19
New cards

Nonpolar covalent compound

shares electrons equally or almost equally; NO CHARGED ENDS

20
New cards

example of polar covalent compounds

H2O, NH3

21
New cards

example of nonpolar covalent compounds

H2, O2

22
New cards

Describe soap’s structure. Why does it help remove grease from pots and pans?

Soap has a nonpolar end and polar end; polar end attached to water while th oil (or other nonpolar molecule) attaches to the nonpolar end.

23
New cards

What are the factros that affect boiling point and melting point?

molecular size, shape, polarity., external pressure

26
New cards

When lattice energy is up boiling point is ____________

UP

27
New cards

whihc alkyne has highest boiling point and why

Decane has the highest boiling point from alkanes because it has more bonds, therefore it has more opportunities for London Dispersion Forces. Since it has a greater IMF, the atoms are more tightly packed and harder to pull apart, increasing the boiling point.

28
New cards

A substance will form hydrogen bonds if it

  1. contains hydrogen atoms and either O, F, or N.

29
New cards

Lattice energy is

  1. the amount of energy required to pull apart a lattice structure until both elements transform into gases. Lattice energy increases with higher ion charges and decreases as the distance between ions increases.

30
New cards

Characteristics of ionic compounds include

high melting points, good insulators as solids, good conductors in an aqueous or molten state, production of electrolytic solutions when dissolved in water, hardness, brittleness, and between a metal and non-metal

31
New cards

Adhesion is

the attraction and "sticking" of water molecules to molecules of different substances, driven by water's polarity (uneven charge) creating weak bonds with other charged or polar surfaces, explaining phenomena like water climbing glass (capillary action) or sticking to plant leaves.

32
New cards

Cohesion

 water is the attraction of water molecules to other water molecules, caused by hydrogen bonds due to their polar nature, allowing for surface tension.

33
New cards

Substances with stronger intermolecular forces or more surface area will have

higher melting/boiling points.

34
New cards
  • Electronegativity difference in covalent bonds

  • Less than 0.5 - nonpolar

  • In between 0.5 and 1.7 - polar

  • Above 1.7 - ionic

35
New cards
  • Physical properties of polar molecules

  • High specific heat (heats up slowly and requires a lot of energy to change the temperature)

  • Able to be dissolved in water (like dissolves like)

    • Water can dissolve polar and ionic compounds

  • Examples of polar molecules: sugar

36
New cards

Nonpolar molecules

  • Do not dissolve in water

  • Oil, gasoline, acetone

37
New cards
  • Isomers - molecules with the same formula but different structures 

  • N-pentane and neo-pentane

38
New cards
  • Intermolecular force - holds molecules together

  • LDF, dipole-dipole

39
New cards
  • Intramolecular force - holds atoms together in molecule

  • Metallic, ionic, and covalent bonds
