Chemistry - General Information
a) A continuous emission spectrum contains a spread of all the colours from red through to violet. A line spectrum has only distinct coloured lines against a black background. b) Sketch the four lines, be sure to have them converging towards the high frequency end of the spectrum. See Figure 6 in section "2.2.1 Emission spectra". You could label the colours red, blue, indigo, violet. Make sure you indicate the direction in which frequency, or wavelength, is increasing. c) The presence of discrete lines in an emission spectrum means that there are only particular energy levels where electrons can exist, otherwise the spectrum would be a smear of light. A line represents an electron falling from a higher to a lower energy level giving out a photon of light.

Hydrogen Emission Spectrum
Color lines indicate the wavelengths of light that are released
Oxygen, O2 - Double bond (Bond order is 2) Stronger bond costs more energy to break, provided by shorter wavelength UV radiation. Ozone, O3 - One-and-a-half bond (Bond order is 1.5) Weaker bond costs less energy to break, provided by longer wavelength UV radiation. In the atmosphere, high-energy UV breaks the strong bonds in O2 so that O3 can be formed. Lower-energy UV breaks the weaker bonds in O3. This cycle is crucial for life on earth as it absorbs two types of UV radiation and maintains O3 levels in the atmosphere.

Deduce which of the following increases across a period (from left to right) in the periodic table. a) First ionisation energy and electronegativity b) Electronegativity and ionic radius c) Atomic number and atomic radius d) First ionisation energy and atomic radius
c) Mg2+ (WHY: On first inspection it might seem that fluoride, F-, is the correct answer, because it is furthest to the right in period 2. But the question refers to ions: the electron configurations of all four of these ions are identical, 1s2 2s2 2p6. The atomic numbers (Z) are 8, 9,11 and 12, respectively. Magnesium has the highest atomic number (Z = 12), therefore, the valence electrons 'feel' the strongest attraction from the nucleus, so it has the smallest ionic radius. The data supports this: the ionic radii of the ions are: 190, 181, 98, 65 pm for O2-, F-, Na+and Mg2+, respectively.)
Deduce which of the following ions has the smallest ionic radius. a) F- b) Na+ c) Mg2+ d) O2-
a) Iodide ions are displaced to produce aqueous iodine molecules (WHY: chlorine displaces the iodide ions from solution according to the following equation: Cl2 (aq) + 2I− (aq) → 2Cl− (aq) + I2 (aq). Chlorine is more reactive than iodine (it is a more powerful oxidising agent than iodine), therefore, it can displace iodide ions in solution.)
Deduce which of the following occurs when chlorine water is added to an aqueous solution of potassium iodide (KI). a) Iodide ions are displaced to produce aqueous iodine molecules b) Chloride ions are displaced to produce chlorine gas c) No reaction occurs because chlorine and iodine are equally reactive d) No reaction occurs because chlorine is less reactive than iodine
d) Al and O (WHY: Oxygen is the most electronegative element (apart from fluorine) and aluminium is a metal with a lower electronegativity value. This is the only combination involving a metal and a non-metal and so they have the greatest difference in electronegativity.)
Deduce which of the following pairs of elements have the greatest difference in electronegativity. a) Cl and F b) O and F c) C and O d) Al and O
c) II and III (WHY: As the number of occupied energy levels does not increase across a period, there is little change in electron shielding. Ionisation energies increase due to increasing nuclear charge across the period. The atomic radius decreases across the period as the electrons are held more tightly due to the increasing nuclear charge.)
Deduce which of the following periodic trends increases across a period in the periodic table (from left to right). I. Electron shielding II. Ionisation energy III. Nuclear charge IV. Atomic radius a) I and II only b) II, III and IV c) II and III d) I, II and IV
a) I+ < I < I− (WHY: the removal of an electron from an iodine atom to form I+ results in an increase in the attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons and the radius decreases. The addition of an electron to form I− increases the electron-electron repulsions and decreases the attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons and the radius increases. Iodine (I) has equal number of protons and electrons.)
Deduce which of the following series represents the correct size order (from smallest to largest atomic/ionic radius) for the various iodine species I, I− and I+. a) I+ < I < I− b) I− < I < I+ c) I < I+ < I− d) I < I− < I+
b) Al3+ (WHY: Na has the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 (with 11 protons), Na+ has the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 (with 11 protons), Mg2+ has the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6(with 12 protons) and Al3+ has the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 (with 13 protons). The electrons in the aluminium ion experience a stronger attraction from the nucleus as there are 13 protons 'pulling' on 10 electrons. This results in a stronger attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons and a smaller ionic radius.)
Deduce which of the following species has the smallest radius. a) Na+ b) Al3+ c) Na d) Mg2+

Since unsaturated molecules contain double bonds, the double bond breaks during an addition reaction. This allows bromine to attach to the double bond, making them all single bonds. This makes the colour disappear. However, in saturated molecules there are no double bonds, so bromine can't bond to anything meaning the color is still present.

Initiation: Homolystic fusion - Each chlorine atom receives one of the electrons in the Cl-Cl bond: Cl-Cl -> 2 Cl• Propagation: The radicals then react with methane molecule. Methyl radicals are produced. The methyl radicals reacts quickly with a Cl2 molecule: CH4 + Cl• -> •CH3 + HCl -> •CH3 + Cl2 -> CH3Cl + Cl• Termination: The process is terminated when two radicals reacts together to make a relatively unreactive molecule: Cl• + Cl• -> Cl2
Explain the three steps of substitution of alkanes
It increases because the electronegativity increases from left to right each period. This is because there are more electrons which means it has a stronger pull.
Explain this graph
This has to do with the sub-energy levels. The points at the top are half-full meaning they are more stable, so more energy is needed to get rid of an electron. First ionisation energies generally increase across a period and decrease down a group in the periodic table (Figure 1). The increase in ionisation energy across a period is due to the increase in nuclear charge and decrease in atomic radii. This results in an increased attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons. The decrease in ionisation energy down a group is due to the increase in atomic radius. The increased distance results in a weaker attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons of an atom.
Explain this graph, why are the lines up and down
Acids undergo neutralisation reactions with alkalis and bases such as metal hydroxides, metal oxides and aqueous ammonia to produce a salt and water. The general word equations are given below, together with some specific examples: metal oxide + acid → salt and water metal hydroxide + acid → salt and water CuO (s) + H2SO4 (aq) → CuSO4 (aq) + H2O (l) NaOH (aq) + HNO3 (aq) → NaNO3 (aq) + H2O (l) CuO (s) + 2CH3COOH (aq) → Cu(CH3COO)2 (aq) + H2O (l) NH3 (aq) + HNO3 (aq) → NH4NO3 (aq)
Explain what happens when a base reacts with a metal oxide. Use a formula to explain
In a neutralisation reaction, an acid reacts with a base (or an alkali) to produce a salt and water. The reaction between an acid and a base is exothermic, meaning that heat is released and the enthalpy change (ΔH) is negative. The general word equation for a neutralisation reaction is: acid + base (or alkali) → salt + water HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O
Explain what happens when an acid reacts with a base. Use a formula to explain

The general word equations are given below, together with some specific examples. metal hydrogencarbonate + acid → salt + water + carbon dioxide NaHCO3 (s) + HCl (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
Explain what happens when an acid reacts with a hydrogen carbonate. Use a formula to explain

Explain what happens when an acid reacts with a metal. Use a formula to explain
Electronegativity is the attraction an atom has for the bonding pair of electrons in a covalent bond. Fluorine is a smaller atom than chlorine and so the bonding pairs of any covalent bond it is taking part in are closer to the nucleus and experience a greater attractive force. There is also less shielding of the bonding electrons by electrons in inner energy levels in the case of fluorine.
Explain what is meant by the term electronegativity and explain why the electronegativity of fluorine is greater than that of chlorine.
For the free atom the 4s sub-energy level is lower than the 3d sub-energy level and so is filled first. Once an ion is formed the positive nucleus attracts the electron energy levels more strongly and the 3d sub-level becomes lower in energy than the 4s sub-level so the 4s electron is removed leaving a full 3d sub-energy level.
Explain why a potassium atom contains an electron in a 4s orbital with no electrons in a 3d orbital whereas a copper(I) ion, Cu+ has the electronic configuration [Ar]3d10 with no electrons in the 4s orbital.
For an ionic compound to conduct electricity the ions must be free to move to the electrodes and be discharged. In the solid state the ions are held in a strong lattice and are not free to move. The solid cannot conduct electricity. When molten the ions become free to move and the compound can conduct electricity.
Explain why an ionic solid such as lithium fluoride does not conduct electricity until it is heated above its melting point.
The three p orbitals are of equal energy and are orthogonal to each other. The px orbital lies along the x-axis, py lies along the y-axis and pz lies along the z-axis.
Explain why it is important to label the x,y and z axes when drawing out the shape of a p orbital.
Monomers are smaller molecules with a smaller surface areas with weaker intramolecular forces (london dispersion)
Explain why monomers are often gases or volatile liquids, but polymers are solid.
The smell between strong acids/bases and weak acids/bases is another way of telling the difference. A weak acid/base has a much stronger smell compared to a strong acid/base, which have no smell. This is due to the fact that strong acids/bases only fully dissociate in water. Therefore, ions are produced. Ions don't evaporate and therefore we can't smell anything. On the other hand, weak acid/bases only partially dissociate. Therefore, not all of the solution turns into ions. The ones that don't turn into ions, evaporate and produce a smell.
Explain why strong and weak acids/bases smell very different
bonds are polar as Cl more electronegative than Si; Allow "electronegativities are different" molecule is symmetrical, hence polar effects cancel out/OWTTE;
Explain why the bonds in silicon tetrachloride, SiCl4, are polar, but the molecule is not.
The magnesium atom has a greater nuclear charge as it has an extra proton compared to the sodium atom. Consequently, the atomic radius is smaller as there is a stronger attraction for the electrons by the nucleus.
Explain why the first ionization energy of magnesium is greater than that of sodium
The bromine atom has one more proton in its nucleus than a selenium atom. This means that the outer, valence electrons, which are in the same energy level in both atoms, are attracted more strongly in the bromine atom. When the negative ions are formed the Br atom gains one electron, but the Se atom gains two. The repulsion between these added electrons increases the size of the ion compared to the atom and this effect is greatest in the case of Se.
Explain why the ionic radius of bromine is less than that of selenium.
Most noble gases have full valence shells. Because of their full valence electron shell, the noble gases are extremely stable and do not readily lose or gain electrons.
Explain why the noble gases could be at zero on this graph
The structure of the NO2 molecule is V-shaped (bent) and this means that there is an unsymmetrical distribution of charge as the O atoms are more electronegative than the N atom. The carbon dioxide molecule in linear and though each bond is polarised there is no overall dipole as the equal and opposite effects cancel each other.
Explain, using diagrams, why NO2 is a polar molecule but CO2 is a non-polar molecule.

If there is a distinct smell of a substance it indicates that it is evaporating, which shows it has a low boiling point.
How can the smell of a substance indicate it is an alcohol?
The presence of carbon dioxide gas can be tested for by bubbling the gas through an aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (aq), otherwise known as limewater. If carbon dioxide gas is present, the limewater turns a 'milky' colour as a solid precipitate of calcium carbonate is formed.
How can you test the presence of CO2 (g) in a reaction between an acid and a hydrogen/metal carbonate?
The sample to be analysed is first vaporised to form a gas. Next, it is bombarded by high-energy electrons, producing positive ions, which are then accelerated in an electric field. Note that a mass spectrometer produces ions with a one positive (1+) charge. The positive ions are deflected in a magnetic field depending on their mass to charge ratio (m/z or m/e). Ions with a higher mass to charge ratio are deflected less in the magnetic field than ions with a lower mass to charge ratio. Finally, the positive ions reach the detector, where they produce a mass spectrum. Note

Naming esters...basically the alcohol gives the '-yl' part and the acid the '-oate' part
How to name esters?
b) I and II only (WHY: most non-metals have low melting and boiling points because they are simple molecular substances, so III is incorrect. The other two statements are generally correct; non-metal elements are poor conductors of heat and electricity and form negative ions by gaining electrons to achieve a full outer shell.)
Identify which of the following properties is/are typical of the non-metal elements in period 3 of the periodic table. I. They are poor conductors of both heat and electricity II. They form negative ions by gaining one or more electrons III. They have high melting points and boiling points a) II and III only b) I and II only c) I and III only d) I, II and III
These trends happens because alkali metals want to lose one more electron so they to lose it, while halogens want to gain one more electron they form negative ions, so they can gain one more electron.
In part 1 you have observed that alkali metals have a tendency to form positive ions with charge 1. In part 2 you have seen that halogens have a tendency to form negative ions with charge 1. How can you explain these trends?

1. Temperature: A higher temperature causes particles to move more quickly, which leads to more collisions. Also, at higher temperature more particles have an energy ≥ Ea. Both effects cause the reaction rate to increase. 2. Concentration or pressure: A higher concentration of reactants in solution means the reactant particles are more densely packed, which leads to more collisions. This causes the reaction rate to increase. The same applies to an increase of pressure for gases. 3. Particle size: The smaller the particle size, the larger the surface area exposed as contact area for reaction. Therefore, the rate of reaction decreases with particle size and increases with surface area. 4. Catalysts: Catalysts increase the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction, so that more particles have an energy ≥Ea.
List and explain four factors that influence the rate of reaction.

1. Lowering the temperature means slowing the particles down, so that fewer particles will have an energy ≥ Ea. 2. Slowing the particles down also means that there will be less frequent collisions. Both actions cause the rate of reaction to slow down. Next time you put food in the refrigerator think about how this influences the reactions of decay on a molecular level!

The general trend is for boiling points to increase going down the group; this is shown by the values for PH3, AsH3 and SbH3. This is because the number of electrons in each molecule increases as Mrincreases, and so the strength of the dispersion forces between the molecules increases meaning that it requires more energy to disrupt these forces in the liquid. However, ammonia has a higher boiling point than expected on this basis. This is due to the presence of hydrogen bonding between the molecules. Such additional forces are not present in the other cases.
The trend in the boiling points of the hydrides of group 15 is shown in the graph below. Discuss the reasons for the variation in the boiling points of this series of compounds.
In diamond the carbon atoms are arranged in a three-dimensional lattice structure in which all the atoms are linked by single covalent bonds. The atoms are arranged tetrahedrally in the lattice and there are no weak points in the structure, meaning that diamond is very hard. All the outer (valence) electrons of the carbon atoms are involved in bonding so there are no electrons free to move through the structure under the influence of an electrical field. Graphite consists of layers of covalently bonded carbon atoms arranged in interlinked hexagonal rings. These layers are stacked on top of each other in the crystal but the forces between the layers are weak dispersion forces and the layers can slide over each other making graphite soft. Only three of the valence electrons of each carbon atom are involved in the covalent bonding of the layers. The fourth electron of each atom is involved in a delocalized p cloud extending between the layers. These electrons are free to move and are responsible for the electrical conductivity of graphite.
The type of bonding present in an element or compound can be used to explain its physical properties. Use your understanding of the key features of different types bonding and structure to explain the following: Explain why one form of carbon (diamond) is a very hard substance that does not conduct electricity whereas another form of carbon (graphite) is very soft and a good electrical conductor.
