2-Bonding, Structure And Properties Of Matter Flashcards
What r ions
Charged particles
What ions do group 2 elements form
2+ions
What ions do group 7 elements form
1- ions
What do dot and cross diagrams show
The arrangement of electrons in an atom or ion
What r the negatives of dot and cross diagrams
They don’t show the structure, size or arrangement of the compound or ion
What does a ball and stick diagram show
Shows the regular pattern of a compound and how it is arranged. With dots for the ions and lines for the bonds
What r the properties of ionic compounds
High melting and boiling points, can not conduct when solid but can when liquid
Why can ionic compounds conduct when liquid
Because the ions are free to move and carry the current
How do u work out the empirical formula of a compound
See what ions there r
Work out what the charges of the ions r
Balance the charges so the overall charge is zero
Eg potassium (K) forms 1+ ions
Oxygen (O) forms 2- ions
Needs two potassiums to balance out the oxygen
So the formula would be K2O
What different ways r they to show a covalent bond
Dot and cross diagrams, with overlapping outer shells.
Displayed formula- covalent bonds r straight lines between atoms.
3D models
Properties of simple molecular substances
Very low melting and boiling points, gases or liquids at room temperature, do not conduct electricity, b.p and m.p increase with the size of the structure
What is a polymer
A long chain of repeating units
How is the repeating unit of a polymer drawn
Brackets go round the unit with bonds coming through the sides.
An ‘n’ is put outside the bracket to show it is repeated lots of times
How many covalent bonds does each carbon atom form in diamond
4 bonds
How many bonds do each carbon atom have in graphite
3 bonds
Why can graphite conduct electricity
Because each carbon atom has a delocalised electron
