Name the element from the third period that exists as a covalent network.
(a)
Explain why the covalent radius of sulfur is smaller than that of phosphorus.
Increased nuclear attraction for electrons
increased nuclear charge
sulfur has more protons in nucleus
increased attraction of electrons for nucleus
Explain fully, in terms of the structures of sulfur and phosphorus molecules and the intermolecular forces between molecules of each element, why the melting point of sulfur is much higher than
that of phosphorus.
that the forces are stronger between sulfur (molecules) than between the phosphorus molecules
there are London dispersion forces between the molecules of both these elements.These forces are stronger due to sulfur structure being S8 whereas phosphorus is P4
there are London dispersion forces between the molecules of both these elements.These forces are weaker due to sulfur structure being S8 whereas phosphorus is P4
that the forces are weaker between sulfur (molecules) than between the phosphorus molecules
Explain the difference in polarities of ammonia and trichloramine molecules.
Ammonia is polar and trichloramine is non-polar
Ammonia is non-polar and trichloramine is polar
Ammonia contains hydrogen bonds making it polar & the electronegativity difference in ammonia is higher than in trichloramine
Ammonia contains hydrogen bonds making it non-polar & the electronegativity difference in ammonia is lower than in trichloramine
Explain why covalent radius decreases across the period from
sodium to chlorine. (1) = The electron shells are pulled 1 closer because
(a)
Explain fully why the covalent radius of sodium is larger than the ionic radius of sodium.
