Q4.Which of these atoms has the highest electronegativity? A) Na B) Mg C) Cl D) Ar

Cl

(c) Suggest the element in Period 3 that has the highest electronegativity value.

Cl (Chlorine with 17 protons is the most electronegative element. You might expect argon (with 18 electrons) to be the most electronegative element in Period 3, but its outer energy levels are full. Therefore, it does not form covalent bonds with other atoms, so it is given an electronegativity value of zero.)

A molecule of NHF2 reacts with a molecule of BF3 as shown in the following equation. NHF2 + BF3 ➜ F2HNBF3 State the type of bond formed between the N atom and the B atom in F2HNBF3 Explain how this bond is formed

Explain, in terms of electronegativity, why the boiling point of H2S2 is lower than H2O2.

Hard/ Brittle / not malleable Insoluble Non conductor

Explain why the melting point of Mg is higher than that of sodium

Has more delocalised electrons so stronger force of attraction

(d) Why is graphite soft?

Has planes Weak vdw forces entre planes

Explain why the melting point of potassium is lower than that of sodium

However, since potassium has a larger ionic radius than sodium, the attraction between the valence electron and the nucleus is weaker, so it is easier to overcome those forces to change potassium's state from liquid to gas.

Suggest why the melting point of sodium iodide is lower than the melting point of sodium bromide.

Iodide / I- bigger (ion) (so less attraction to the Na+ ion)

Sugggest why the melting point of sodium iodide is lower than the melting point of sodium bromide (?)

Iodide ion is larger than bromide ion Ions are further apart in the iodide

State the type of bonding in lithium fluoride. Explain why a lot of energy is needed to melt a sample of solid lithium fluoride.

Ionic If not ionic then CE = 0 / 3 If blank lose M1 and mark on 1 Strong or many or lots of (electrostatic) attractions (between ions) If molecules / IMF / metallic / atoms lose M2 + M3, penalise incorrect ions by 1 mark 1 Between + and − ions / between Li+ and F− ions / oppositely charged ions

The heat energy needed to vaporise one mole of sodium chloride (171 kJ mol-1) is much greater than the heat energy required to melt one mole of sodium chloride. Explain why this is so.

It must break ALL the bonds to vaporise

(iv) Explain why nickel is ductile (can be stretched into wires).

Layers / planes / sheets of atoms or ions can slide over one another

Strontium metal is used in the manufacture of alloys. (i) Explain why strontium has a higher melting point than barium.

M1 delocalised electrons closer to cations/positive ions/atoms/nucleus cations/positive ions/atoms are smaller cation/positive ion/atom or it has fewer (electron) shells/levels M2 (Sr) has stronger attraction between the cations/positive ions/ atoms/nucleus and the delocalised electrons OR stronger metallic bonding (assume argument refers to Sr but accept converse argument for Ba)

(b) Explain why magnesium has a higher melting point than sodium.

Mg2+ / magnesium ion has higher charge than Na+ Allow Mg2+ ions smaller / greater charge density than Na+ ions Allow Mg atoms smaller than Na (atoms) Allow magnesium has more delocalised electrons Attracts delocalised / free / sea of electrons more strongly / metal-metal bonding stronger / metallic bonding stronger

Suggest why the electronegativity of the elements increases from lithium to fluorine.

More protons / bigger nuclear charge 1 Same or similar shielding / electrons in the same shell or principal energy level / atoms get smaller

Explain why the melting point of sodium iodide (920K) is lower than NaBr (1020K)

Reactivity decreases as you go down the halogen group. This is because when you go down the halogen group, you add another shell of electrons and increase the amount of electron shielding. So the valence electrons feel less of a pull from the nucleus, and are not tightly bound So, Br is more reactive than Na, because Br .

State the element in Period 3 that has the highest melting point. Explain your answer.

Si coz covalent bonds - strong - need lots of J to break Si in a tetrahedral macromolecular structure & it's a giant covalent structure

Deduce the name or formula of a compound that has the same number of atoms, the same number of electrons and the same shape as the AlCl4 − ion.

Sillicon tetrachloride

Deduce why the bonding in nitrogen oxide is covalent rather than ionic.

Small electronegativity difference / difference = 0.5 Must be comparative Allow 2 non-metals

Perfume is a mixture of fragrant compounds dissolved in a volatile solvent. When applied to the skin the solvent evaporates, causing the skin to cool for a short time. After a while, the fragrance may be detected some distance away. Explain these observations. (4)

Solvent has low bp or weak intermolecular forces or evaporates quickly (1) (Solvent) needs energy to evaporate (to overcome intermolecular forces) (1) OR higher energy or faster molecules more likely to escape so mean energy (and hence temperature) falls Energy taken from the skin (and so it cools) (1) Fragrance or perfume (molecules) slowly spreads (through the room) (1) By random movement or diffusion (of the perfume / fragrance) (1)

(ii) Write an equation for the reaction of strontium with water.

Sr + 2H2O → Sr(OH)2 + H2

(ii) Explain why the melting point of sodium chloride is high.

Strong (electrostatic) attraction Any mention of IMF or molecules / metallic / covalent in (b)(ii) then CE 0/2 1 Between oppositely charged ions / particles

Explain why electronegativity increases across a period in the Periodic Table

The no. of protons increases across a period and the atomic radius of the atom of an element decreses across period Greater nuclear charge Greater attraction between positive nucleus & outer electrons Size of atom of an element decreases as you go across a period

Use the values in the table to explain how the strongest type of intermolecular force arises between two molecules of ammonia.

There is a large electronegativity entre H & N They form N delta neg & H delta pos Lone pair on N forms weaks bonds with H delta pos

Explain why the TlCl2 + ion has the shape that you have drawn in part (f)(i)

They repel equally + no lone pairs so its linear

Titanium has strong metallic bonding strong electrostatic force of attraction entre delocalised electrons & positive titanium ions Lots of J needed to break metallic bonding + forces of attraction

Give one reason why ice is less dense than water

as the water molecules are more spread out due to H-bonding

i) Why is it a little surprising, at first sight, that the N-N bond is weaker than the P-P bond? ii) Explain this apparent anomaly

i) N is smaller than P, electrons are held close together qui causes repulsion from the lone pairs on each ii) N has weaker bond strength
