    In many past paper questions, when you have to draw an example of metallic bonding, the markscheme says the amount of delocalised electrons you draw has to correspond to the amount of ions you draw and the charges on the ions to get the full marks, so for example, if you draw 6 Mg 2+ ions in a metallic structure, you need to draw 12 e-'s in the "Sea" of electrons to get full marks, I've lost marks in mocks because of this before

    • @sofipaezamaya8798
      @sofipaezamaya8798 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      sorry for my stupid question, I'll start a levels this September so I am just getting ready for it. why 12 e-??? 🙈 is it because is 2+ so is 6 x 2? but why is 2+? because Mg is 2+??? thank you

    • @TheSeppukiri
      @TheSeppukiri 8 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      +Sofi Paez Amaya Yeah, when magnesium forms ions, it loses 2 (negatively charged) electrons and as a result has a 2+ positive charge. This means every magnesium ion contributes 2 electrons to the "sea" of electrons involved in metallic bonding, so if there are 6 ions, there will be 12 electrons in this sea

    For 5d, cant you mention nuclear charge? It increases across the period.

    I recently had a question on the covalent bonding and electrical conductivity saying it was one of the strongest substances an an excellent electrical conductor called Grapon? I thought it might be due to the lack of bonding between layers but surely that would mean it wasn't as strong?

      +TheFroggyhop They like giving cheeky new things that have the general structure of graphite, but are often just a single layer. If it has a single layer, it only contains covalent bonds and is therefore strong as. Does that make sense?

    You see when in the case of co ordinate bonding, when Nitrogen gave both of its electrons to hydrogen, what happened to the electron hydrogen already had?

    Do we ever need to know if one bonding/ crystal is stronger than another (eg why is ionic weaker than covalent - if it is at all) ?

    For question 3c is nitrogen and oxygen being two non metals a good answer too?

    • @MrERintoul
      @MrERintoul  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Ama Gunasekara Nope. It is the fact that they are both non-metals which give them more similar electronegativity values.

    for 7b the graphite question, isn't it the intermolecular forces you break when a substance is heated not the covalent bond. basically what I'm asking is, aren't the Vasn Der Waals forces responsible for the higher melting point?

    • @arhamshahzad9491
      @arhamshahzad9491 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If Van der Waal was responsible for melting point, graphite would have a lower melting point as only little energy would be required to break it. The fact that strong covalent bonds b/w carbon atoms in the layers is what make it require lot of energy to overcome resulting in a higher melting point

    Hey, I don't know if I'm right or not, but on the NH4+ ion, you forgot to draw the arrow on the bond to show that electrons come from the N and are donated to the H+

    • @MrERintoul
      @MrERintoul  9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Boro Jen xX I guess so, but I think in terms of the bonds, there's no problem not having the arrow there...
