AQA A-Level Chemistry - Periodicity

This video covers the periodicity topic. It assumes that you already have a good grasp of the Bonding and Ionisation Energies topics.

my teachers are great honestly. but you explain like how the MARK SCHEMES want. especially when you’re talking about MP and BP. the ‘therefore X therefore Y’ is so helpful when i’m writing my notes. your videos are really concise and the way you explain is, like i said, what the mark scheme wants :) i can’t thank you enough :)

[@arsenic7499]

Very helpful video thank you. Question: if two molecules had the same number of atoms bonded, e.g. Cl2 and H2, would they have the same strength of intermolecular forces and if not how can you work out which is bigger? Basically, how do number of protons or electrons affect vdw forces?

[@ashleybrownlee2018]

I find these videos extremely helpful, do you do A2 new spec videos as well?

[@rgqwerty63]

great videos. will you be done unit 1 by Thursday? Also if you can, could you organise your AQA AS videos into 2 different playlists for unit 1 and 2?

[@MrERintoul]

Weird that I didn't see your comment but literally just organised them that way! I would like to have them done, but it all depends on time! If you had to put the missing topics in order, what would you want done first?

[@rgqwerty63]

E Rintoul Id have to watch through all your videos to see whats missing. Having said that I think Im quite comfortable with everything other than some parts of organic. Ill try and find which parts of that are missing

[@rgqwerty63]

E Rintoul Just had a quick glance at the syllabus. Would a video on refining crude oil, cracking, pollutants (from combustion) and catalytic converters be possible?

[@MrERintoul]

rgqwerty63 That's one I was thinking of. I reckon I could get all of that into one video. Just working on an Ionisation Energy one that I hope will be up later on.

[@rgqwerty63]

E Rintoul ok thanks in advance :)

[@scaleofc1966]

But surely the attractive forces between the nucleus and outermost electrons don't increase across the period? Yes, okay, you're adding an extra proton which increases nuclear charge, but you're also adding on an extra electron. The two should cancel each other out? For every one proton that is added, the force is balanced out by the one electron added each time, or not?

[@nevanemuh397]

yes youre, adding an extra electron. however, this is still within the same shell so the same distance between the nucleus and the proton. if proton number increases, the power of the attraction increases as well

[@sal4439]

You are amazing

[@zobiaahmad889]

[@umarsiddique6564]

Aluminum has a smaller atomic radius than Magnesium so how can the electron in the 3p orbital be further away from the nucleus? Please answer

[@TheLou97]

How large does the difference in electronegativity have to be between two atoms to become dipole-dipole attraction rather than vdw? Btw great videos, they really help!

[@MrERintoul]

Louis Shropshire In the exam you aren't given values of electronegativity, so don't worry. As a general rule, if you have a halogen involved with a carbon or hydrogen, it will be permanent dipole!

[@TheLou97]

Okay thank you, keep up with the videos, they really help!

[@FransMeyer82]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@erossi98]

I always get confused on why melting and boiling points rely on bonding, I thought it was to do with intermolecular forces rather than intra. Please could you help?

[@MrERintoul]

Eve Rosser That's a fair point! It really depends on the context... When we're talking about compounds e.g. water, then we are talking about the intermolecular forces. These are the forces that are holding the water molecules together and so when we overcome these, we change the state. If we're talking about a lump of iron, or maybe a piece of diamond, we have no intermolecular forces and so in those cases we look at the forces that hold the atoms and ions in place. In general terms, the only time you will use the term intermolecular force is when talking about a simple covalent structure e.g. water, methane, carbon dioxide etc. Does that help at all?

[@erossi98]

E Rintoul yeah that's great! cleared it up massively, cheers.

[@malaikaali31]

E Rintoul you beautiful human, you.

[@BGGovedoto]

Why would there be no "dip" between Na and Mg, it goes from 3s1 to 3s2, would there be no pair repulsion or would it be too weak to cause a "dip" in the graph?

[@ExperiencedPanda]

+BGGovedoto im only an as student myself by my take on it would be that in the s sub shells the electrons dont pair together, there are only 2 electrons in the s shell and they have all of this space to be as far apart from each other as they like, so thats exacly what they do.

[@ruaks4323]

I am guessing it is because the nuclear charge is increasing due to the addition of the extra proton, which overcomes the repulsion

[@harrisonstamper7481]

How come period 3 has the same shielding but the reason for the decrease in ionisation from Mg to Al is more shielding from the 3s2 orbital??

[@MrERintoul]

Water Melon I would say it is a combination of that, along with the fact that the 3p1 electron is that bit further away from the nucleus. Does that make sense?

[@sethmerryman3503]

Thanks man this is great help!

[@shraddhasheth2023]

For melting point and boiling point is it the inter or intramolecular forces that need breaking?

[@homeshashanteedoorgapersan2559]

there's one error. around 14:32, you wrongly drew the elements electronic configuration(you swapped each other's e.c)

[@rukhsarnighat2480]

Can you please explain me that the reason behind the melting point from p4 to cl2 is due to vanderwalls or covalent bond . I am extremely confused. You wrote that they have their m.p and b.p due to covalent but in explaination you are saying its vanderwall.

Hello Sir, I'm just wondering, for your unit 1 and 2 videos so far, which topics are still missing? I wanna know so I can go over them in my CGP book

[@MrERintoul]

skwli Ermmm. I think Unit 1 is pretty much covered. Not done a video solely on Bonding, but I think that's the only one missing. From Unit 2, there's nothing on alkenes as of yet. Think that might be about all that's missing...?

[@skwli]

[@MrERintoul]

Thanks!

[@shilpiranimazumder623]

could u please mind making a video on electro negativity and tell me an alternative way of identifying the polar bond without the Pauling's scale?

[@MrERintoul]

+Shilpi Rani Mazumder I may do at some point... You aren't expected to know the values on the Pauling's scale. However, you can work out what elements would be most electronegative (small, low shielding and highly charged nucleus). Hydrogen and carbon bonded to halogens tend to polar bonds, but there's not much else to it! Is there something in particular that you are struggling with?

[@shilpiranimazumder623]

Yes... I am struggling with knowing which bonds are polar even if I don't know the electronegativity of the elements...

[@MrERintoul]

Shilpi Rani Mazumder Generally speaking, the RHS of the periodic table is more electronegative and the LHS is less electronegative. The key really is to look for bonds where halogens are present as these tend to have a high electronegativity e.g. C-Cl bond. That links in nicely to your permanent dipoles in IMF and a bit into H-bonding. That helped at all?

[@shilpiranimazumder623]

Hello... Sorry to bother you.... Can you please help me understand which compounds will have intestaneous dipole and which compounds will be dipoles? Please reply when you have time... Take care...

[@zm7782]

could you add successive ionization energies to the video as I feel it's a bit important, other than that, very well organised and informative video!

[@tehone8150]

+zakariya mohamed The ionization energy is increasing across the period because more electrons are being added to the SAME shell. So the distance from the nucleus is not changing but the nucleus is getting more positive due to more protons so there is greater attraction and the I.E increases . ^.^ that's all you need to know

[@MrERintoul]
