number
1   Macromolecular  means  a  giant  molecule  with   1    
covalent  bonding      
     
The  white  P  has  van  der  Waals  forces  between   1   If  you  mention  the  wrong  type  of  
the  P4  molecules     intermolecular  force  you  will  lose  marks.  
     
and  these  forces  are  weak   1    
    The  covalent  bonds  are  broken  on  
The  red  phosphorus  has  many  covalent  bonds   1   melting,  not  just  loosened  or  weakened.  
that  must  be  broken    
   
And  covalent  bonds  are  strong.   1  
2  (a)   SF6  shape  is  octahedral   1   Make  sure  you  include  the  symbols  for  
    the  elements  in  the  diagram.  
bond  angle  =  90°   1  
   
shape  =   1  
 
 
 
 
   
Equal  repulsion  between  6  bonding  pairs  of   1  
electrons  
 
 
–  
AlCl4  shape  is  tetrahedral  
1  
 
 
bond  angle  =  109°  to  109.5°  
1  
 
 
shape  =  
1  
 
 
 
   
   
Equal  repulsion  between  4  bonding  pairs  of   1  
electrons  
2  (b)   Solvent  has  low  boiling  point  or  weak   1   This  needs  a  clear  explanation.  There  
intermolecular  forces     are  4  marking  points  so  you  must  write  4  
    statements  which  link  together  in  order.  
Solvent  needs  energy,  taken  from  the  skin,   1  
to  overcome  intermolecular  forces  and    
evaporate    
   
Perfume  molecule  slowly  spreads  through   1  
the  room
