question
Electronegativity increases going to the _______ on periods and _______ on groups
answer
left, up
question
Flourine, oxygen, nitrogen and chlorine are the most
answer
electronegative elements
question
with a much more electronegative atom on one side the electrons in the bond are ______________ and this makes the molecule a ________
answer
pulled to one side, dipole
question
If there are two equal polar bonds in opposite directions, the molecule ________ as they __________
answer
is not a dipole, cancel each other out
question
Instantenous-dipoles
answer
the electron cloud in one molecule is momentarily more to one side than the other, causing a momentary dipole
question
Induced dipoles
answer
When a dipole is near another molecule, the charge can attract/repel the electrons in the other molecule, causing a dipole
question
Permanent dipoles
answer
where one atom is much more electronegative than another, pulling the electrons in the bond towards it
question
Instaneous-Induced dipole bonds
answer
the weakest intermolecular force, where a temporary dipole induces a dipole in another molecule, leading to them becoming attracted to each other. This can spark off a chain, but they are constantly created and destroyed
question
Permanent-Permanent dipole bonds
answer
Where the permanent dipoles attract each other
question
Hydrogen bonding
answer
the strongest intermolecular force, only happens when hydrogen is covalently bonded to O, N or F, as they are strongly electronegative. the bond is so polarised that the hydrogen forms weak bonds with the lone pairs of electrons on the F, N or O
question
First ionisation enthalpy
answer
the energy required to pull the first electron out of an atom/ molecule
question
3 things that affect the ionisation enthalpies and why
answer
Atomic radius - the further away the outer shell electrons are from the nucleus, the less the attraction and lower the enthalpy
Nuclear charge - more proteins in nucleus = higher attraction = higher ionisation enthalpy
Electron shielding - the inner electrons shield the outer electrons from the attraction of the protons, more inner electrons = less attraction = lower ionisation enthalpy
question
equation for ionisation enthalpies looks like this:
answer
O(g) -> O+(g) +e-

question
features of batch process
answer
makes a batch at a time, small quantities can be made, can be multi-purpose, labour costs
