Periodicity of Melting Points… Assign the bonding and structure across period 3
Giant Metallic Lattice Periodicity of Melting Points… Metallic Bonding Giant Metallic Lattice
Giant Covalent Lattice Periodicity of Melting Points… Covalent Bonding Giant Covalent Lattice
Periodicity of Melting Points… Covalent Bonding Simple Molecular
Periodicity of Melting Points… Based on the type of structure predict (and justify) which element has the: Highest melting point Lowest melting point
Periodicity of Melting Points… Highest = Silicon Strongest bonds therefore requires the most energy to break them Lowest = Argon Single atoms mean no bonds that can have a dipole induced. Lowest IM forces, so least energy required.
Periodicity of Melting Points… We are going to look at the trend in the melting points of period 2. From the data, produce a relevant graph (this is going to be assessed) Lithium Beryllium Boron Carbon Nitrogen Oxygen Fluorine Neon Melting Point /oC 180 1280 2027 3700 -210 -219 -187 -248.6
Periodicity of Melting Points… Why is there a steep decrease in melting point between carbon and nitrogen? (4) Why do Group two metals have a higher melting point than Group one? (3)
Periodicity of Melting Points… Why is there a steep decrease in melting point between carbon and nitrogen? (4) Both compounds have covalent bonds Carbon is a giant covalent lattice Nitrogen is a simple molecule with INTERMOLECULAR forces Covalent bonds require more thermal energy to break than intermolecular forces
Periodicity of Melting Points… Why do Group two metals have a higher melting point than Group one? (3) Metallic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between the positive ions and the delocalised electrons Group 2 metals have a 2+ charge AND group 1 metals have a 1+ charge The stronger electrostatic attraction between 2+ and an electron requires more energy to overcome
Periodicity of Melting Points… Using a mark scheme correctly is a skill. It allows you to gauge the level you are currently working at. Unfortunately most students don’t use them properly. Mark the example question using the mark scheme.
