    Hello, this is a thread made to ask questions relevant to this syllabus...

    I'll start the ball rolling shall i

    What is an acid?
    What is an alkali?
    Define Relative formula mass?
    Define empiricla formula?
    State and explain the shape and bond angle in h20?

    1) a proton donor
    2)releases OH- ions
    3) is the weighted mean mass of a formula unit compared with 1/12th of the mass of carbon-12 atom.
    3)simplest whole number ratio of an atom of each element.
    4)104.5 - 2 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs . electron pair repel , lone pair repel more than bonding pairs.
    5)as you go down group 7 the reactivity decreases due to increase shielding effect and atomic radius and also nuclear charge increases but increase shieling and atomic radius outweighs increase nuclear charge.
    6)movement of electrons , forms instantaneous dipoles and induces dipoles in neighbouring atoms/molecules.

    1. Relative isotopic mass = the mass of an isotope compared with 1/12th of the mass of an atom of Carbon-12.

    2. F20 = Non Linear - 104.5 - 2 bonded pairs, 2 lone pairs, electron pairs repel, lone pairs repel more.

    3. CO2 = Non polar - as is symmetrical and so the dipoles cancel out.

    4. Electronegativity decreases across a period due to, same amount of shells, with same shielding, atomic radius decreases, these factors outweigh increasing nuclear charge.

    5. Nacl can coduct electricity when molten or dissolved as ions are mobile/free to move around, carrying the current. Nacl does does conduct electricity when in a solid state because the ions are not able to move around.

    correct but question 4 is wrong electronegativity increases! because increase nuclear charge like you said outweighs increase shielding and atomic radius

    Define electronegativity?
    Define successive ionisation energy?
    Why is the 2nd ionisation energy of Mg greater than the first?
    What is an isotope?
    State the shape and bond angle of a BF3 molecule?
    How can you identify that Iodide ions are present in a solution?
    Give two ways that you can observe when Mg ribbon is added to HCL?

    1) is the measure of bonding electrons ability of attracts on in covalent bond
    2) amount of energy needed to remove each electron from an atom
    3) electrons closer to nucleus and electrons held more tightly by nucleus. less sheliding and atomic radius
    4) are atoms that have same number of protons but different number of neutrons
    5) trigonal planar -120
    6) yellow ppt / is not soluble in NH3
    7) fizzing , solid disappearing

    hey guys,
    does anyone know any limitations involved in titration experiments and how these can be improved?
    also: how to improve reliability of titration
    how to improve accuracy
    thankss

    1. As it is a radioactive isotope, which is toxic.
    2. Add Silver Nitrate [AgNo3] - White precipitate will occur - completely soluble/dissolves in dilute NH3.
    3. Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) ---> AgCl (s)
    4. False. Magnesium has a lower bp as in Aluminium the charge on the metal ion is +3, increase, the number of delocalsied electrons increases and thus the metallic bonding is stronger in Aluminium than in Mg.

    Cheerio
