5.1 Ice has a lower density compared to liquid water at around temperatures of 4 °C . is
is due to the fact that the hydrogen bonding intermolecular forces are further apart in
the solid phase compared to water in the liquid phase at these very cold temperatures.
(us due to the increase in the distance when the intermolecular forces act in the
solid phase the density of ice decreases and it oats. In the liquid phase at very cold
temperatures, the water molecules can approach each other more closely, hence the
density of water increases at these temperatures). (2)

cations are surrounded by C,
anions and vice versa. is means that there are
many strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the cations and anions leading
to very strong inter-particle (inter-ionic) forces. Large amounts of energy will be
needed to overcome these forces, hence a very high melting point. (3)
4.3 a) Ion-dipole intermolecular force (1)
4.3 b) Na

– the O end of the water molecule is attracted to the ion. e O end is δ
thus it is attracted to a positive ion, hence the sodium cation. (2)
4.3 c) e ion-dipole force between the water molecule and the ion is a strong
intermolecular force, yet is not stronger that the ion-ion electrostatic forces within
the crystal lattice.  Water thus needs to accumulate around an ion so that the
combined ion-dipole intermolecular forces eventually will overcome the ion-ion
forces and the ion is only then removed from the lattice and goes into solution. (4)

5.2 Energy is absorbed by the water molecules that sit on grass and plants (dew) just before
the sun rises. is allows the water molecule to escape to the gas phase with a certain
kinetic energy. is means that energy is taken away from the system hence it begins to
feel much colder as there is less energy in the systems surroundings. (2)

e acceleration of the system is directly proportional

OR e acceleration of the system is inversely
proportional to its mass

Give a reason why it is much more useful to plot a graph of acceleration against the
inverse of mass, than to plot a graph of acceleration against mass.
e straight-line graph through the origin conrms that y = mx therefore we know that
acceleration and mass are inversely proportional to each other.
If we had plotted acceleration against mass the graph would have been a hyperbola

However to conrm the inverse relationship we should then plot the graph of acceleration
against the inverse of mass.
By plotting it in the rst place we have saved time and eort.

e acceleration of the system is inversely

MARKING GUIDELINES
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. B  ∆ electronegativity = 3,0 – 1,2 = 1,8 which implies that the bond is
polar covalent. However, Mg is a metal bonding with the non-metal C,
therefore the bond is ionic. is is the compound which is ionic with
some covalent character. [CL3] (2)
2. D  Nitrogen has three unpaired electrons which it is able to share with
the three uorine atoms. ere are three bonds around each nitrogen
atoms. Each bond consists of a shared pair of electrons. erefore, this
compound has 6 bonding electrons (six electrons involved in chemical
bonds). [CL2] (2)
3. C  ere are two bonding pairs because two hydrogen atoms are attached
to the sulfur atoms. e two lone pairs of sulfur repel each other
strongly so the shape of H
2
S is similar to that of water. It is angular (or
bent). [CL2] (2)
4. B  e hydrogen ion bonds with the ammonia molecule by attaching to
the lone pair of electrons. is type of covalent bond where one atom
donates both electrons to form the bond is called a dative covalent
bond. [CL3] (2)
5. C  Nitrogen is non-polar because it consists of three non-polar covalent
bonds. CO
2
is non-polar because its molecule is linear, with the eect of
the two polar covalent bonds directed in opposite directions, resulting
in an overall non-polar molecule. [CL2] (2)
6. A  Pb is a metal with delocalised electrons to carry charge through the
substance. PbBr
2
in molten form dissociates into its ions (cations and
anions). ese ions are free to carry charge throughout the molten
liquid. [CL2] (2)
7. C  Hydronium ions are formed when a hydrogen ion (H
+
ion) attaches
itself to one of the lone pairs of electrons of a water molecule. is kind
of bond is called a dative covalent bond. [CL3] (2)
8. D  Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level of its atoms.
is Lewis structure is the only one which correctly shows carbon
atoms with four valence electrons. [CL4] (2)
9. B  e element X has six valence electrons therefore it is either a sulfur or
an oxygen atom. e element Y must belong to the halogens because
it has seven valence shell electrons. e only possible choices are
narrowed to choices B and D. However, there are two lone pairs on
atom X, so the shape of the molecule will be angular. [CL4] (2)

10. D  is molecule has a symmetrical shape (tetrahedral). Even though
it has polar covalent bonds between the atoms, the overall electron
distribution is symmetrical, therefore its molecule is non-polar. [CL3] (2)

MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. B  It is the small atom with high electronegativity that is bonded to a
hydrogen atom that allows hydrogen bonds to form between molecules
of a substance. [CL2] (2)
2. D  It is the force between the molecules of glass and the molecules in the
pads of geckos toes that allows it climb the smooth glass surface. e
other choices here concern intramolecular forces (chemical bonds). e
gecko does not bond permanently with the glass! [CL3] (2)
3. B  e other substances do not have hydrogen bonds between their
molecules. It must therefore be the strong hydrogen bonds between
water molecules that accounts for its high boiling point. [CL2] (2)
4. D  e molecules of H
2
S, H
2
Se and H
2
Te are polar, therefore the
intermolecular forces between them are dipole-dipole forces. e forces
become stronger as the size of the molecules increases. [CL2] (2)
5. D  CH
3
F does not have hydrogen bonding because the uorine atom
is attached to the carbon atom (not to a hydrogen atom). HC has
dipole-dipole forces (not hydrogen bonds). CH
3
OH has dipole-dipole
forces, but its strongest intermolecular forces are hydrogen bonds. e
only correct answer is therefore CC
4
which does have London forces
between its molecules. [CL3] (2)
6. D  e noble gases are non-polar substances. e fact that they liquefy
gives evidence that forces exist between their molecules in the liquid
phase. ese forces are London forces. [CL2] (2)
7. D  ese compounds are all the same type of substance; therefore,
they will have the same type of intermolecular forces between their
molecules. e intermolecular forces will increase in strength as the
size of the molecules increases because there will be more points of
contact available for the forces to hold the molecules closer together.
[CL2] (2)
8. B It is the small atom with high electronegativity that is bonded to a
hydrogen atom that allows hydrogen bonds to form between molecules of
a substance. erefore, the fact that these elements are non-metals does not
contribute directly to the hydrogen bonding. [CL 4] (2)

has dipole-dipole intermolecular forces between its molecules. [CL 3] (2)

types of molecules that can form hydrogen bonds between them. [CL2] (2)
LONG QUESTIONS
1. Both methane and water have polar covalent bonds between their atoms.
∆ electronegativity C-H = 2,5 – 2,1 = 0,4
∆ electronegativity H-0 = 3,5 – 2,1 = 1,4
(for calculating ∆ electronegativity correctly)
e bond between oxygen and hydrogen is more polar than that between carbon
and hydrogen.
Water has an angular structure, whereas methane is tetrahedral. e electron
distribution in the water molecule is asymmetrical, but it is symmetrical in the
methane molecule.
Water molecules are polar; methane molecules are non-polar.
e intermolecular forces between water molecules are hydrogen bond (dipole-
dipole) forces which are much stronger than the London forces (induced
dipole-induced dipole forces) that exist between methane molecules, therefore
water is a liquid and methane is a gas at room temperature. [CL 4] [6]
2.1 Water: polar covalent bond

e dierences in electronegativity in each of these bonds is greater than 0. [CL 2] (3)

2.3 Water: hydrogen bond (dipole-dipole) forces CC
4
: London forces [CL 2] (2)
2.4 e viscosity of water is about 10 times that of CC
4
, and its surface tension is
just a little more than twice as high. e hydrogen bonds between molecules
in water are much stronger than the dispersion (London) forces in CC
4
.
erefore, it makes sense that water molecules will cling to one another more
tightly than CC
4
molecules – and therefore have stronger forces in the surface of
the liquid (surface tension) and greater viscosity than CC
4
. [CL 4] (4)
2.5 Iodine is a non-polar substance, whereas KC is an ionic substance. Substances
with similar strength of intermolecular forces are able to dissolve in one another.
erefore, iodine will dissolve in CC

O both have polar molecules with hydrogen bonds between them.
e electronegativity dierence between N and H is 3,0 – 2,1 = 0,9 whereas

covalent bonds inside the water molecule are more polar than those in the NH
3
molecule. Water molecules have an angular shape, whereas NH
3
molecules
are trigonal pyramidal. is allows each water molecule to form two hydrogen
bonds with two other water molecules making the intermolecular forces in water
much stronger than those in NH

7.1 Hydrogen bonds between water molecules act in particular directions. When
ice crystallises, this directional property of hydrogen causes the molecules to
align next to each in a more open structure than they do when water is liquid.
Waters volume increases as the molecules move into their positions in the
crystal, therefore its density decreases. [CL3] (3)
7.2 Water freezes from the top down so, ice forms on the surface of water rst while
the bottom of the lake, dam, river or ocean remains liquid. e sheet of ice
over the top of a frozen lake insulates the water below it from the colder air in
the atmosphere. In this way plants and animals that live in water are able to do so
under the sheet of ice. [CL2] (2)
7.3 Water has a very high specic heat capacity. (It takes a large amount of energy to
be absorbed per kg of water to raise the temperature of water by 1°C). Water
also releases a large amount of energy per kg when its temperature drops by 1°C.
In this way water acts as a heat reservoir – and regulates the temperatures on
Earth. [CL3] (2)
7.4 Intramolecular forces are stronger than intermolecular forces. In water the
polar covalent bond between hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms requires more
energy to break, that the energy required to overcome the hydrogen bonding
forces that keep the molecules together in liquids and solids. [CL3] (3)
7.5 Eucalyptus oil molecules are non-polar molecules with weaker London forces
between them. Water molecules have stronger hydrogen bonds between their
molecules. It takes more energy to release a water molecule from the surface
than it does to release molecules of eucalyptus oil. [CL3] (3)
