Atomic Structure (3.1.1.2)

MASS SPECTROMETRY (4)

Electrospray Ionisation- Sample dissolved in polar solvent --> nossel, high pressure --> high voltage applied to sample removing an E to form a + charge= GAS of + ions

Acceleration- ions accelerated between + and - plates on electric field= kinetic energu gained(all ions SAME KE) Depends on MASS. Low= faster

ion drift- particles= constant KE as travel through drift region.    

NOTE Different ions, different masses, different velocities = different TOF

Detection- Detects current created when ion hit it. Records how long took for travel through mass spectrum. Data calculates mass/charge values

Produces chart which relative isotopic abundance can be found.

USES- drug detection, forensic science

Atomic Strcuture 3.1.1.3

1st ionisation energy- Energy needed to remove 1 e from each atom in 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions.

X(g) ---> X+ (g)  + e-

Period (across IE increase)- Inrease in P as go across = increase in nuc charge= Greater attraction between NUC and E

Group- (Down IE decrease)-  as shielding increase = less effective nuclear attraction = less energy needed.

Successive ionisation(IE INCREASE) - E removed from progressively more + species = greater attraction = more energy required

Change in energy level (IE increase) -  Less shielding = more effective nuclear attraction - increase in energy required

Period 3- Mg (3s2) --Al (3p1) = 3p orbital= higher energy= futher away, created fropm partial shielding effect. This overrides increased nuclear charge= less energy required

Relative formula mass can be used in ionic equations as the formula is taken in the simplest ratios

Emprical Formula- Formula which gives the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound

Molecular Formula- Formula which shows the actual number of atoms of each element in a compund

Bonding 3.1.3.1

IONIC( e.g NaCl)

  • Electrostatic forces of attracition between + and - ions in giant lattice= STRONG. 
  • CONDUCTS-  in liquid as e = free to move = carry flow of charge
  • NON malleble -> repulsion= cant slide
  • Soluble- H2O pulls ions away from lattice = dissolve
  • HIGH BP- strong e.s forces beytween ions = energy required to overcome

COVALENT- Includes 2 atoms sharing e so both have full outer shell

  • Single bond- shared pair of e both nuceli electrostatically attracted to
  • Double bond- atoms share 2 pairs of e
  • Triple bond- atoms share 3 pairs of e

Simple Covalent Compounds (e.g I2)

  • Strong C.B within molecules but compund = weak intermolecular forces
  • DONT conduct- no free e to carry charge
  • VARIES in soulubility as depends on polarity
  • LOW BP- Forces = easily broken
6 of 33

Bonding 3.1.3.1

Giant Covalent/Macromolecular(2)-

  • Graphite- Flat hexagon sheets
  • C.B 3 bonds each 4th = delocalised e
  • sheets bonded by VDW's = easily broken = slide over
  • HIGH BP- Strong CB 
  • CONDCUCT- delocalised e 
  • INSOLUBLE- CB too difficult to break  
  • Diamond - Carbon CB to 4 other Carbon atoms= Tetrahederal shape 
  • HIGH BP- strong CB
  • CANT conduct - all e localised 
  • INSOLUBLE- CB too difficult to break

Metallic (e.g Mg)- Giant lattice of + ions and delocalised e

Bonding 3.1.3.1-4

Dative Covalent Bond- CB formed when 1 atom provides both of shared e.

They form when 1 atom in the bond has a lone pair and the other doesnt have any available e to share (Shown as an --> representing where the e come from and where theyre going to)

Ions formed from elements 

  • Group 1 - LOSE 1 = 1+
  • Group 2 - LOSE 2 = 2+

Bonding 3.1.3.4-

Charge Clouds- Molecules = different shapes, depends on e pairs. E can be in bonding pairs or lone pairs 

Electron Pair Repulsion- e are - so repel eachother until far apart as possible. Shapes of clouds affect how much repels other charge clouds. Lone pair repel more than bonding pairs

  • LP-LP       Most
  • LP-BP
  • BP-BP      Least
9 of 33

Polarisation 3.1.3.6-

Electronegativity- Power of an atom to attract the pair of electrons in a C.B

  • This ^ will be unsymetrical between 2 different elements as 1 will be more EN than the other so the e will be pulled towards that atom 
  • Greater ^that difference = more polar the bond
  • polar bond- difference in EN between the 2 causes a DIPOLE
  • Dipole- difference in charge between the 2 atoms caused by a shift in e density in bons
  • Polar bonds = Permenant dipole = charge disturbuted unevenly throughout whole molecule
  • more than 1- PB arranged symmetrically dipoles cancel out = means becomes non polar 
  • more than 1- PB arranged in same direction- dont cancel = stays same 
  • ALL Diatomic Gases = Non polar = atoms equal EN
10 of 33

intermolecular forces 3.1.3.6

Van Der Waals Forces-

  • Cause all atoms and molecules be attracted eachother(overrall effect)
  • E in charge clouds move quick (constant- made/destroyed any time) - likely to be more to one side than the other = temp dipole
  • this occur in neighbouring atom = domino effect
  • larger molecules= strong VDW     closer m = Stronger VDW
  • larger molecules, stronger VDW, higher bp

Permenant dipole-dipole attraction- sub made up of this there is weak electrostatic frces of A on +/-  charges on neighbouring molecules

  • electrostatically charged rod next to polar liquid it will move towards rod - molecules move to attract themselves to it charge of R = irrelevant
  • more polar liquid is = stronger electrostatic attraction between the 2 = greater deflection

Hydrogen Bonding- ONLY occurs when H is bonded to one of NOF 

  • As V EN so draw bonding e away from H. 
  • Lone pair needed
  • Molecules with H bonding = higher bp/mp

Importance H bonding 3.1.1.6

Ice- 

  • As liquid H20 cools = ice 
  • during ^ molecules make more H bonds, arrange into regular lattice structure 
  • H bonds long = distance between = longer in ice = less dense than liquid H20 = UNUSUAL - most sub more dense as S than L
12 of 33

Energetics 3.1.4.1

  • Endothermic- Reaction that absorbs energy - /\H= +
  • Exothermic- Reaction that releases energy- /\H= -
  • Enthalpy Change- Heat Energy transferred in a reaction at constant pressure
  • Standard Enthalpy of Combustion- Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is competlely burned in O2 under standard condtions with all R+P in their standard states
  • Standard Enthaply of Formation- Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states under standard condtions

Kinetics 3.1.5.1

Rate of Reaction- change in the amount of reactant or product over time.

Reactions can only occur when collisions with sufficient energy take place between particles energy

14 of 33

Equilibria 3.1.6

Reversible reactions = go both ways. 

  • Forward + reverse reactions occur equal rates
  • at EQB conc of reactants and products remain constant 
  • Kc equation can be deduced from this 

Le Chateliers Principle- If a reaction at EQB is subjected to change in conc, pressure or temp the position of EQB will move to counteract the change

  • Changing Conc- e.g increase conc of R EQB tries to get rid of it by making more P = EQB shift to right 
  • Changing Pressure- ONLY affects Gases. Increase P shifts EQB to side with fewer molecules to reduce the pressure 
  • Changing Temp- increase heat = EQB shift to endothermic side. Decrese in temp = EQB to shift to the exothermic side 
  • INDUSTRIAL COMPROMISE( Money&Product)- Temp--> Lower temp better yield but slower rate of R = compromise.      Pressure-->High P in forward reaction = faster rate of R but Higher P = more expensive (better equipment etc) = compromise between 2 

Dynamic EQB- in a RR when F/R reactions are occuring at equal rates and when conc of the R and P are constant

  • Decreases across a period (EN increases)
  • Increases down a group (EN decreases)

Nuclear Attraction

  • Increases across a period (more effective)
  • Decreases down a group (less eff)

Melting Points

  • Increase from Na- Si decrease from Si-Ar
  • Na, Mg, Al = Metals = Mp increase- metal-metal bonds = stronger as, as cross P metal ions increasing + charge and decreasing number of delocalised é
  • P, S, Cl- Molecular Subs - Mp depends on strength of VDW- weak= easy overcome so LOW mp.
  • Ar= small Mp exsits as monoatomic = weak VDW

Alkanes 3.3.2.1

SATURATED Hydrocarbons 

Petrolum/Crude Oil- mixture mostly alkanes- be seperated by F.D

Cracking- Breaking long-chain alkanes into smaller HC. (2 types)  

1. Thermal cracking

  • High Temp and Pressure
  • produduces alkenes( used to make polymers)

2. Catalytic Cracking

  • High Temp and slight pressure
  • zeolite catalyst
  • produces aromatic hydroC 
  • and alkanes used in motor fuels 

Econmic Reasons for C- people want light fractions as, its got more demand = more valuble than heavier which isnt

21 of 33

Alkanes 3.3.2.1

Fractional Distillation-     TOP=cool     Bottom= Hot 

  • Crude Oil vapourised
  • the V CO goes to bottom - rises through trays
  • largest HC BP too high- bottom- gooey residue
  • bp increase as get bigger = each fraction condense different temp = drawn off different temps 
  • HC lowest BP dont condense = drawn off as gases at top 

ALKANES AS FUEL

found in fossil fuels- burning small amouts release LOTS energy. Burnt in power stations, central heating systems, cars. Release polluntants when burnt 

Complete Combustion -  Burn fuels with plenty o2. Products CO2 and H2O

Incomplete Combustion- Burn fuels in not enough O2, Products CO, H2O

22 of 33

Alkanes 3.3.2.4

Pollutants (3)- 

  • Nitrogen Oxide NOx, - caused when high temp and pressure in car engine cause N + O atoms from air to react together 
  • Unburnt Hydrocarbons- React with Nitrogen oxides in presence of sunlight form ground-level ozone O3 = smog compoenent= irritant 
  • Sulfur Dioxide- When S burnt in some FF = reacts form SO2 gas. When gets into atmosphere dissolves in the mostiure and converted to sulfuric acid = cause acid rain.

How reduce

  • Catalytic converters in cars remove P from exhaust (complete comb of HC)
  • Sulfur dioxide removed from Power Stations by Flue Gases
