O-atoom met 8 elektrone rondom getoon • Two electron pairs on O atoms shared with two F atoms as shown. Twee elektronpare op O-atome gedeel met twee F-atome, soos getoon (2) 2.3 ΔEN (O – F) = 4 – 3,5 = 0,5 0 < ΔEN < 1, the bond is weakly polar/die binding is swak polêr (2) 2.4 • The bonds in both molecules are polar due to the difference in electronegativity between O and F and C and O. • The shape of the OF 2 molecule is angular and because the charge distribution is asymmetrical around the central atom the molecule is polar. • The shape of the CO 2 molecule is linear and because the charge distribution is symmetrical around the central atom the molecule is non- polar. • Die bindings in albei molekules is polêr as gevolg van die verskil in elektronegatiwiteit tussen O en F en tussen C en O. • Die vorm van die OF 2 -molekule is hoekig en omdat die ladings asimmetries versprei is rondom die sentrale atoom is die molekuul polêr • Die vorm van die CO 2 -molekuul is lineêr en omdat die ladings simmetries versprei is rondom die sentrale atoom is die molekuul nie-polêr (4) 2.5.1 X = bond energy  Y = bond length  X = bindingsenergie Y = bindingslengte (2) 2.5.2 The energy needed to break one mole of its molecules into separate atoms. Die energie benodig om een mol van sy molekules in aparte atome op te breek (2) 2.5.3 The higher the bond order, the shorter the bond length, the stronger the bond and the bond energy increases. Hoe hoër die bindingsorde, hoe korter is die bindingslengte, hoe sterker die binding en die bindingsenergie neem toe (3) [17] Copyright reserved/Kopiereg voorbehou Please turn over/Blaai om asseblief ### Page 4 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Physical Sciences P2/Fisiese Wetenskappe/V2 4 DBE/November 2016 CAPS/KABV – Grade/Graad 11 – Memorandum QUESTION 3/VRAAG 3 3.1 The temperature at which the vapour pressure of a substance equals atmospheric pressure. Die temperatuur waarteen die dampdruk van 'n stof aan die atmosferiese druk gelyk is (2) 3.2 What is the relationship between intermolecular forces and boiling point? Wat is die verband tussen intermolekulêre kragte en kookpunt? (2) 3.3 Glycerine,It has the highest boiling point. Glisirien, dit het die hoogste kookpunt (2) 3.4 No, boiling point is only affected by the atmospheric pressure.

(2) 3.5 Avoid direct heating with open flame Work in a well-ventilated room/use a fume cupboard  Vermy dit om naby 'n oop vlam te werk Werk in 'n goed geventileerde vertrek/gebruik 'n dampkas (2) 3.6 Nail polish remover, lowest boiling point, weakest intermolecular forces, less energy is required to overcome intermolecular forces and can easily change to vapour. Naellakverwyderaar, laagste kookpunt, swakste intermolekulêre kragte, minder energie is nodig om die kragte te oorkom en kan maklik in 'n damp verander.

The molecules collide with the walls of the container more often with greater impact. These collisions will push back the walls, so that the gas occupies a greater volume than it did at the start. Wanneer die temperatuur van 'n gas toeneem, sal die gemiddelde spoed van die deeltjies ook toeneem. Die molekules bots meer dikwels en heftiger met die kante van houer. Hierdie botsings sal die kante van die houer wegdruk sodat die gas 'n groter volume beset as voorheen. OR/OF When the temperature of a gas decreases, the average speed of the particles also decreases. Number of collisions decreases and the volume decreases Wanneer die temperatuur van 'n gas afneem, sal die gemiddelde spoed van die deeltjies ook afneem. Die aantal botsings neem af en die volume neem af.
