Q

Why are there strong metallic bonds in metals and what makes them so strong

A

Positive ions share delocalised electrons
The bond is strong because of strong electrostatic forces between positive metal ions + and negative electrons -

Q

Explain the thermal conductivity of metals

A

Delocalised electrons and closely packed ions transfer energy throughout the structure by conduction
Free electrons move faster and conduct heat, also vibration of particles

Q

What happens to the melting and boiling points of metals as you move across a period and why

A

Increase
There are more delocalised electrons, increasing the (electrostatic forces &) attraction between the + ions and - free electrons (stronger bonds)

Q

When do giant ionic structures only conduct electricity and why

A

Only when dissolved or molten
Only them are the ions free to move to carry the charge

Q

Why are giant ionic compounds brittle

A

Ion layers are shifted and jump over each other
Ions of the same charge are brought side by side and repel each other

Q

Arrangement of giant covalent structures

A

Lots of atoms held together by covalent bonds into giant lattices

20
Q

Why are giant covalent structures extremely strong

One layer of graphite
Thinnest yet strongest material discovered
Best conductor of heat/electricity

36
Q

Do individual atoms have the same properties as their bulk form
Why?
What is another example of this

A

No!
Because of the arrangements of the atoms (different arrangements =different properties)
Nano particles
