Q5.
 
(a)  The element sodium and the compound sodium bromide are both solid at room temperature.
(i)  Name the type of bonding in sodium and explain how this bonding holds the structure together.
(2)
....it is metallic bonding and its help by electrostatic attraction between delocalized sea of electrons and
postive ion.........................................................................................................................................

(ii)  Name the type of bonding in sodium bromide and explain how this bonding holds the structure
together.
(1)
........this has an ionic bond and its help my electrostatic forces of electrons between positive sodium and
negative bromide.....................................................................................................................................

(iii)  The table shows the melting temperatures of sodium and of sodium bromide.

What can you deduce from these data about the bonding in the two substances?
(1)
/15
........bonding in sodium bromide is stronger then
sodium.....................................................................................................................................
.............................................................................................................................................
.............................................................................................................................................
(iv)  Name one physical property, other than melting or boiling temperature, in which sodium and
sodium bromide differ due to the difference in their bonding.
Describe how this property differs for each of the two substances.
(2)
.....sodium can conduct electricity because of the sea of deloclised electrons but sodium bromide cant as
ions cant move. Sodium bromide in molten can conduct electricty
though ........................................................................................................................................

(b)  The ammonium ion, , contains covalent bonds and a dative covalent bond.
(i)  Describe the difference between a covalent bond and a dative covalent bond.
(2)
......in a dative covalent bond one atom supplies all the bonding electrons while in covalent bonding both
atoms provide equal number of
electron.......................................................................................................................................
.............................................................................................................................................
.............................................................................................................................................
(ii)  Draw a dot and cross diagram for an ammonium ion. Use the symbol for electrons from the
hydrogen atoms and for electrons from the outer shell of the nitrogen atom.
(2)

(iii)  Suggest how an electron density map of ammonium chloride would provide evidence for the
presence of ions in the compound.
(1)
........it would show higher density around the chloride ion this shows the existance of sperate ions as
they are differently
structured .....................................................................................................................................
