Chlorine free radical is a catalyst -> Starts a chain reaction -> Depletes ozone layer -> Harm radiation reaches the earth surface -> can cause skin cancer Why something cant form hydrogen bonds > Electronegativity > Shielding ( why it has high electronegativity) >Polarity Thermal stability trend Cation size increase -> Charge density decreases -> Polarising power decreases -> More energy required to decompose Temperature Increase Larger proportion have EA or more than EA -> Have sufficient energies to react Angles -> Maximum separation between bonded pairs -> Lone pairs repel more than bonded pairs Greenhouse gases -> Traps IR radiation -> Rising Sea levels / melting polar ice caps / Extreme weather conditions London forces formation - Temporary asymmetrical distribution of electrons -> causing instantaneous/temporary dipole -> produce induced dipole Boiling points (Electrons) More electrons -> Greater dispersion forces/London -> More energy needed to separate Boiling points (surface area) Larger surface area -> Greater dispersion forces/London -> More energy needed to separate
