They are bonded for four other atoms by single covalent bonds Sigma bonds |
|
What is a sigma bond? |
The result of the overlap of two oribtals in a covalent bond, one from each bonding atom. Each overlapping oribtal contains one electron, so the sigma bond has two electrons that are shared between the bonding atoms |

|
|
What is the shape arrangement around each carbon atom in an alkane? Why? |

|
Describe why butane can form different shapes? Not in terms of structural isomers |
Because the sigma bonds acts as axes around which the atoms can rotate freely, so these shapes are not rigid |
|
How are crude oil fractions (alkanes) seperated? |
By fractional distillation in a distillation tower |
|
Why is seperation possible in a distillation tower of alkanes? |
Because the boiling points of the alkanes are different, increasing as their chain length increases |
|
Describe the trend in boiling point of the alkanes? |
As the number of carbon atoms increases, i.e. their chain increases the boiling points increases |
|
Explain the increase in the boiling points of the alkanes as the chain length increases? |
Because there are weak London forces between the chains. As the chain length increases, the molecules have a larger surface area, so more contact is possible between the molecules. The london forces between the molecules with be greater and so more energy is required to overcome the forces |
|
Describe what happens when you compare the boiling point of branched isomers with striahgt chain isomers of the same molecular mass? |
The branched isomers have a lower boiling point |
|
Describe the difference in melting and boiling point between pentane (top) and 2-methylbutane (bottom)? |
They have the same molecular mass, but pentane has a high melting and boiling point than 2-methylbutane. This is because there are fewer surface points of contact between molecules of the branched alkanes, giving fewer london forces. The branches get in the way and prevent the branched molecules getting as close as straight chain molecules, decreasing the intermolecular forces further |
|
Why are the two reasons that branching of isomers of the same molecular mass decreases their boiling point? |
1. There are fewer surface points of contact between molecules of the branched alkanes, giving fewer london forces.
2. The branches get in the way and prevent the branched molecules getting as close as straight chain molecules, decreasing the intermolecular forces further |
|
Describe the strenght of the bonds in an alkane? |
The C-C and C-H bonds are strong |
|
Describe the polarity of the bonds in an alkane? |

|
Why are alkanes good fuels? |

2. They are readily available 3. They burn in a plentiful supply of oxygen 4. They do not release toxic products during combustion |
|
Describe the conditions required for incomplete combustion? |
A limited supply of oxygen - not enough for complete combustion |
|
Describe what happens to alkanes when they burn in a limited supply of oxygen? |
The hydrogen atoms are always oxidised to water but the combustion of the carbon may be incomplete forming carbon monoxide or even carbon as soot |
|
Describe carbon monoxide? |
It is a colourless, odourless and highly toxic gas. It combones with haemoglobin in red blood cells which prevents haemoglobin from transporting oxygen around the body |
|

|
What mechanism in the bromination of methane? |
It is an example is radical substitution |
|
What three stages does radical substitution take place in? |
1. Initiation 2. Propagation 3. Termination |
|
Describe the inititation stage of radical substitution? (Bromine as example) |
1. The reaction is started when the covalent bond in a bromine molecule is broken by homolytic fission, forming two highly reactive bromine radicals 2. This energy for this fission is provided by UV radiation |
|
Describe the propagation step of radical substitution? (Bromine as an example) |
1. First step: the bromine radical reacts with the C-H bond in the methane, forming a methyl radical and a molecule of hydrogen bromide 2. Second step: each methyl radical reacts with another bromine molecule, forming the organic product bromomethane together with a new bromine radical. 3. The new bromine radical then reacts with another CH4 molecule as in the first step and the two steps continue to cycle as a chain reaction |
|
How long should the propagation steps continue? |
Untill the reactants have been used up, when radicals collide. It has been estimated that up to a million propagation cycles take place before a termination step stops the reaction |
|
Describe the termination step of free radical substitution? Describe the combinations of products? |
Two radicals collide, forming a molecule with all electrons paired. When they collide and react, both radicals are removed from the reaction mixture, stopping the reaction There are a number of possible termination steps with different radicals in the reaction mixture. |

|
Give the limitations of radical substitution in organic synthesis of one organic compound? |
1. Further substitution 2. Substitution at different positions in a carbon chain |
|
Describe why further substitution is a limitation of radical substitution in organic synthesis? (use CH3Br as the example) |
If CH3BR was formed in the second propagation step, another bromine radical can collide with it, subsituting a further hydrogen atom to form CH2Br2. This can continue untill all the hydrogen atoms have been substituted. The result is a mixture of CH3Br, CH2BR, CHBr3 and CBr4 |
|
Describe why substitution is a limitation of radical substitution in organic synthesis?
(use CH3Br as the example) |
For methane, all four hydrogen atoms are bonded to the same carbon atom, so only one monobromo compound is possible. If the carbon chain is longer, you can get a mixture of monosubstituted isomers, by substitution at different positions in the carbon chain. |

Alkenes can be branched, contain more that one double bond or be cyclic. Branched alkenes obey the general formula CnH2n, cyclic alkenes and alkenes with more than one double bond do not |
|
Describe the bonding in alkenes? |
1. Three of the four electrons in its outer shell are used in sigma bonds. One to the other carbon of the double bond, and the other two to other atoms 2. This leaves one electron on each carbon atom of the double bond which is in a p-orbital 3. A π-bond is formed |
|
Describe π-bonds? Where is the electron density concentrated? |
1. Formed by the sideways overlap of two p-orbitals, one from each carbon atom of the double bond 2. Above and below the line joining the nuclei of the bonding atoms |
|
Describe how π-bonds effect the geometry of alkenes? |
It locks the two carbon atoms in position and prevents them from rotating around the double bond. Therefore, unlike in alkanes, rotation is not possible around every atom |
|
Describe how this ethene molecule forms a pi-bond. Label any other bonds present. |
The line inbetween the two carbons represents a sigma bond |
|

Those with a C=C double bond |
|
What types of compounds does optical isomerism occur in? |
Coumpounds including alkanes with no functional groups |
|
Why does sterioisomerism arise around double bonds? |
Because the roration about the double bond is resitricted and the groups attached to each carbon atom are therefore fixed relative to each other. The reasons for the rigidity is the position of the π-bonds electron density above and below the plae of the sigma bond |
|
What two conditions must a molecule satisfy to have E/Z iosmerism? |
1. A C=C double bond 2. Different groups attached to each carbon atom of the double bond |

|
Who sorted out the naming of molecules with double bonds that do not have hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms of the double bond? Therefore what was this system of naming called? |
Cahn and Ingold and Prelog The Cahn-Ingold-Prelog nomenclature |
|
What are the rules of the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog nomenclature? |
The atoms attached to each carbon atom in a double bond are given priority based upon their atomic number: 1. If the groups of higher priority are on the same side of the double bond, the compound it the Z isomer 2. If the groups of higher priority are diagonally placed across the double bond, the compound is the E isomer |
|

|
|
|
What happens, when using the Chan-Ingold-Prelog rules if two atoms assigned to the carbon atom have the same priority? |
You need to find the first point of difference . The group which has the higher atomic number at the first point of difference is given the highest priority. |
|

|
Whose work lead to the formation of the current periodic table?
|
The work of John Newlands and Dmitri Mendeleev
|
|
Whos work was put forward in 1864?
|
John Newlands
|
|
What did John Newlands publish?
|
Law of Octaves
|
|
How did John Newlands arrnage elements according to the Law of Octaves?
|
1. He arranged all elements known into a table in order of relative atomic mass.
2. He found a pattern among the early elements. The pattern showed that each element was similar to the element eight places ahead of it 3. He then put the similar elements into vertical columns, known as groups. |
|
What did Newlands Periodic table show?
|
Newlands' table showed a repeating or periodic pattern of properties,
|
|
Describe why Newlands work was not accepted by other scienetists?
|
By ordering strictly according to atomic mass, Newlands was forced to put some elements into groups which did not match their chemical properties.
|
|
Describe one of the mistakes Newlands made in his perioidc table?
|
For example, he put iron (Fe), which is a metal, in the same group as oxygen (0) and sulfur (S), which are two non–metals.
|
|
Who published a perioidc table in 1869?
|
Dmitri Mendeleev published a periodic table.
|
|
How did Mendeleev order his periodic table?
|
Mendeleev also arranged the elements known at the time in order of relative atomic mass, but he did some other things that made his table much more successful.
|
|
Describe how Mendeleev's periodic table differed to Newlands?
|
He realised that the physical and chemical properties of elements were related to their atomic mass in a 'periodic' way, and arranged them so that groups of elements with similar properties fell into vertical columns in his table.
|
|
Describe why there where gaps in Mendeleev'speriodic table?
|
Sometimes this method of arranging elements meant there were gaps in his horizontal rows or 'periods'. But instead of seeing this as a problem, Mendeleev thought it simply meant that the elements which belonged in the gaps had not yet been discovered.
|
|
What did Mendeleev also predict?
|
He was also able to work out the atomic mass of the missing elements, and so predict their properties. And when they were discovered, Mendeleev turned out to be right.
|
|
Was it Newlands or Mendeleev's table that ordered elements by atomic weight?
|
Both
|
|
Was it Newlands or Mendeleev's table that Included only the elements known at the time?

Newlands
|

|
Mendeleev
|

|
Newlands
|
|
Was it Newlands or Mendeleev's table that every eighth element had similar properties ?
|
Newlands
|
|
Was it Newlands or Mendeleev's table that was criticised by other scientists for grouping some elements with others when they were obviously very different to each other?
|
Newlands
|
|
Was it Newlands or Mendeleev's table that swapped the order of some elements if that fitted their properties better ?
|
Mendeleev
|
|
Was it Newlands or Mendeleev's table that elements in groups had similar properties?
|
Mendeleev
|
|
Was it Newlands or Mendeleev's table that was seen as a curiosity to begin with, but then as a useful tool when the predicted elements were discovered later ?
|

2. Included only known elements 3. Had strict order of atomic weights 4. Every eighth element had a similar property 5. Was criticised by other scientists |
|
Summarize Mendeleev's Periodic Table? (5 Points)
|
1. Elements ordered by atomic weight
2. Left gaps for predicted elements 3. Swapped order of elements according to their properties 4. Elements in groups had similar properties 5. Curiosity at first, yet proven accurate when predicted elements where discovered |
|
Describe the problem with Mendeleev's periodic table?
|
Iodine has a lower relative atomic mass than tellurium, so it should come before tellurium in Mendeleev's table. In order to get iodine in the same group as other elements with similar properties – such as fluorine, chlorine and bromine – he had to put it after tellurium, which broke his own rules.
|
|
What refined Mendeleev's table into the modern periodic table?
|
The discovery of protons, neutrons and electrons in the early 20th century allowed Mendeleev’s table to be refined into the modern periodic table.
|
|
How did the discovery of sub atomic particles help order the elements?
|
It involved an important modification – the use of atomic number to order the elements. An element’s atomic number (also called proton number) is the number of protons in its atoms. So elements were ordered y their atomic number rather than mass
|
|
Who used atomic number instead of atomic mass to order the modern periodic table?
|
The British chemist Henry Moseley in 1913.
|

|
What is the trend down a group in the periodic table?
|
1. Elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell
2. Elements in each group also have atoms with the same number of electrons in each sub shell. This gives electrons in the same group similar chemical properties |
|

|
1. Atomic radius
2. Nuclear Charge 3. Electron shielding |
|
Describe the attraction the first electron lost experiances and how this effects ionisation energy?
|
It experiances the least attraction from the nucelus as it is in the highest ionisation energy level so will be more easily lost
|
|
Describe how atomic radius effects ionisation energy?
|
The greater the distance betwwen the nucleus and the outer electron, the less the nucelar attraction.
The force of attraction falls off sharply with increasing distance, so atomic radius has a large effect |
|
Describe the effect of nuclear charge on ionisation energies? |
The more protons there are in the nucelus of an atom, the greater the attraction between the nucelus and the outer electrons |
|
Describe the effect of electron shileding on ionisation energies?
|
Electrons are negatively charged and so the inner shell electrons repel the outer shell electrons. This repulsion, called the shielding effect, reduces the attraction between the nucelus and the outer electrons
|
|
What is an ionised gas called?
|
A plasma
|
|
What is the equation for the second ionisation energy of helium?
|
He^+(g) ––> He^2+(g) + e^–
|
|
What is the difference between the first and second ionisation energies of helium, why?
|
1. The second ionisation energy of helium is greater than the first.
2. This is because in a helium atom there are two protons attracting two electrons in the 1s subshell. 3. After the first electron is lost, the single electron is pulled closer to the helium nucleus. 4. The nuclear attraction on the remaining electron increases and more ionisation energy will be needed to remove this second electron |
|
Define the second ionisation energy?
|
It is the energy required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous 1+ ions of an element to form one mole of gaseous 2+ ions
|
|
What do successive ionisation energies provide the evidence for?
|
The different electron energy levelsin an atom
|
|
Give the graph for 8 successive ionisation energies of chlorine and explain why they are this?
|
There is a large increase between the 7th and 8th electron because the electron is removed from a different shell, closer to the nucelus and with less shielding, so experiences greater nuclear attraction

|
|

|
|
Why does the ionisation energy down a group decrease?
|
1. The atomic radius increases as it has more electrons
2. More inner shells so shielding increases 3. The Nuclear attraction on the outer electrons decreases 4. Therefore the first ionisation energy decreases |
|
Why does the first ionisation energy across a period increase?
|
1. Nuclear charge increases
2. Same shell number, so similar shielding 3. Nuclear attraction increases 4. Atomic radius decreases 5. Therefore the first ionisation energy increases |
|
Why is the first ionisatation energy of boron lower than the first ionisation energy of beryllium?
|
1. The 20 subshell in boron has a higher energy level than the 2s sub shell in beryllium
2. In boron, the 2p electron is easier to remove than the 2s electrons in beryllium 3. Therefore, the first ionisation energy of boron is less than the first ionisation energy of beryllium |
|
What does the fall in ionisation energy from beryllium to boron mark?
|
The start of the filling of the 2p sub–shell
|
|
What does the fall in first ionisation energy from nitrogen to oxygen mark?
|
The start of electron pairing in the p–orbitals of the 2p sub shell
|
|
Describe why there is a fall in first ionisation energy between nitorgen and oxygen?
|
1. In nitrogen and oxygen, the highest energy electrons are in a 2p sub shell
2. In oxygen, the paired electrons in one of the 2p orbitals repel one another, making it easier to remove an electron from an oxygen than from a nitrogen atom 3. Therefore, the first ionisation energy of oxygen is less than the first ionisation energy of nitrogen |
|

High temperatures are necessary to provide the large amount of energy needed to overcome the strong electrostatic attraction between the cations and electrons. This strong attarction results in most metals having high melting and boiling points
|
|
Describe the solubility of metals?

|
The strong covalent bonds which make for very stable structures which are very diffciult to break down
|
|
Describe the melting and boiling points of giant covalent lattices?

They have high melting and boiling points because covalent bonds are strong. Therefore high temperatures are necessary to porvide the large quanitity of energy needed to break them.
|
|
Describe the solunility of giant covalent lattices?
|
The are insoluble in almost all solvents. This is because the covalent bonds holding together tha toms in the lattice are far too strong to be broken by interaction with solvents.

|
|
Apart from in carbon, what structures does carbon form?
|
Giant covalent structures based on planar hexagonal layers
|
|
Why are structures of carbon containing planar hexagonal layers good electrical coductors?
|
Because only three electrons of the four outer shell electrons are used in covalent bonding. The reamining electron is released into a pool of delocalised electrons shared by all of the atos in the structure. These are free mobile charge carriers that can move through the structure and so conduct electricity
|

|
Because the 1H nucelus consists of just a proton
|
|

1. Atoms have electrons, the electrons of bonded atoms can influence the resonance of the nucelus of that atom (change the amount of energy needed to flip between the two energy states)
2. This changes the frequency of radio waves needed to cause nuclear magnetic resonance |
|
Describe nucelar magnetic resonance?
|
1. Nucelus has two different spin states with different energies
2. The nucelus can absorb energy with the right combination of a strong magnetic field and radio frequency radiation 3. This allows it to flip between the two spin states 4. This is called resonance and so the whole process is given the name nuclear magnetic resonance |
|
What determines the amount of chemical shift in NMR spectroscopy?
|
The chemical environment of the atoms, especially the persence of nearby electronegative atoms
|
|

|
If two or more protons are non–equivalent (they are in different ehcmical environments) they will absorb at different chemical shifts
|
|
Describe equivalent and non equivalent protons?
|
1. Two CH2 groups are in different environments because they are connected to different groups on either side, this meaning the protons are non equivalnet
2. There is no plane of symmetry and there are four protons environments, giving four peaks in the spectrum |
|
Describe equivalent and non equivalent protons, peaks in the spectrum and relative peak areas? |
1. The two CH2 groups are in the same environment, connected to a CH2 group on one side and a COOH group on the other 2. The symmetry means there are two proton environments, one for the COOH protons and one for the CH2 protons 3. The spectrum will have two peaks, with the CH2 having twice the area because it has 4 protons and the COOH has 2 protons |

|
1. The concentration of the acid
2. The acid dissociation constant Ka |
|
What are the approximations made in terms of Ka?
|
1. HA dissociates to produce equal concentrations of H^+ and A^– and the dissociation of water is so small it can be neglected [H^+(aq)] = [A^–(aq)]
2. The equilibrium concentration of HA is equal to the start concentration as the dissociation of weak acids is small [HA(aq)]eqm = [HA(aq)]start |
|
Give the simplified Ka expression?
|
Ka = [H^+(aq)]eqm^2/[HA(aq)]start
|
|
How can Ka for a weak acid be determined experimentally?
|
1. Preparing a standard solution of the weak acid of known concentration
2. Measuring the pH of the standard solution using a pH meter |
|
The first approximation of Ka is:
HA dissociates to produce equal concentrations of H^+ and A^– and the dissociation of water is so small it can be neglected [H^+(aq)] = [A^–(aq)] What is the weakness in this? |
If the pH>6 then [H^+(aq)] from the dissociation of water will be significant compared with dissociation of the weak acid so the approximation breaks down for very weak acids or dilute solutions
|
|
The second approximation of Ka is:
The equilibrium concentration of HA is equal to the start concentration as the dissociation of weak acids is small [HA(aq)]eqm = [HA(aq)]start What is the weakness in this? |
It breaks down when [H^+(aq)] is significant and there is a real difference between [HA(aq)]eqm and [HA(aq)]start. Therefore the approximation is not justified for stronger weak acids.

It varies with temperature (as do all equlibrium constants)
|
|
What is the significance of Kw having a value of 1.00 x 10^14 at 25 degrees?
|
It sets up the neutral point in the pH scale. And therefore Kw controls the concentration of H^+ and OH^– ions
|
|
Why, on dissociation is water neutral?
Therefore what equation can be derived? |
It produces the same number of H6+ and OH^– ions
[H^+ (aq)] = [OH^–(aq)] |
|
Calucate the pH when Kw = 1.00 x 10^–14
|
[H^+ (aq)] = [OH^–(aq)]

|
Why in preparation of a weak acid buffer solution is it prepared from a weak acid and its salt?
|
Weak acids only partially dissociate in water. Therefore whilst there is lots of the acid component, there is not much of its conjgate base. The salt has to be added to increase the concentration of its conjugate base which reacts to neutralise acid in solution.
|
|
What do salts of weak acids provide in buffer solutions?
|

|
|

2. The small concentration of H^+ ions reacts with the OH^– ions: H^+ + OH^– ––> H2O 3. Because H^+ ions have been removed HA dissociates, shifting the equilibrium position to the right to restore most of the H^+ ions |
|
Why do you need to consider which acid to use in a buffer solution?
|

When there are equal concentrations of the weak acid and its conjugate base
|
|
What are two properties of a buffer when [HA] = [A^–]?
|
1. The pH of the buffer solution is the same as the pKa value of HA
2. The operating pH is typically over about two pH units, centered at the pH of the pKa value |
|
Why when [HA] = [A^–] is the pH of the buffer solution the same as the pKa value of HA?
|
Ka = [H^+]^2/[HA]
pKa = –log([H^+]^2/[HA]) Ka = [H^+][A^–]/[HA] [H^+] = Ka[HA]/[A^–] but HA = A^– so [H^+] = Ka –log[H^+] = –log(Ka) so pH = pKa |
|
What assumption of the dissociation of weak acids no longer applies to buffer solutions and why?
|
[H^+] = [A^–]
For a buffer solution this is no longer true at A^– has been added as one of the components of the buffer |
|
What is the equation for the pH of a buffer solution from Ka?
|
[H^+] = ka x [HA]/[A^–]
–log(ka x [HA]/[A^–]) |

|
|
Describe how concentration may be a limitation of using standard electrode values if it is greater than one mol dm^–3?

|
|
Describe how concentration may be a limitation of using standard electrode values if it is less than one mol dm^–3?

|
What is the procedure for the analysis of oxidising agents using iodine/thiosulfate redox titrations?
|
1. Add a standard solution of Na2S2O3 to the burette
2. Prepare a solution of the oxidising agent to be analysed. Using a pipette add this solution to a conical flask. Then add an excess of potassium iodide, this reacts with the oxidising agent to produce iodine which turns the solution a yellow brown colour 3. Titrate this solution with the Na2S2O3. During the titration the iodine is reduced back to I^– ions and the brown colour fades gradually to a straw yellow (making it difficult to determine an end point) 4. This problem is solved by using a starch indicator. A deep blue black colour forms when it is added and as more sodium thiosulfate is added the blue black colour fades 5. At the end point all the iodine will have just reacted and the blue black colour disappears |
