Q

what is graphene

A

1 layer of graphite
sheet of c atoms joined together is hexagons
1 atom thick - 2D

18
Q

useful properties of graphene

why is graphene the best known conductor

A

delocalised electrons free to move along sheet. no layers = move quickly above an below sheet.

19
Q

useful properties of graphene

why is graphene extremely strong

A

delocalised electrons strengthen the covalent bond between c atoms

20
Q

3 useful properties of graphene

A
  1. extremely strong
  2. best known conductor
  3. transparent and incredibly light
21
Q

graphene

properties of being light and transparent - potential use?

A

touch screens on smartphones

22
Q

graphene

properties of high strength low mass and good electrical conductivity - potential use?

A

high speed electronics

aircraft technology

23
Q

what structures do metal elements exist as

A

giant metallic lattice structures

24
Q

giant metallic lattice structure

A
  1. electrons in outermost shell of metal atom delocalised. electrons free to move. leaves positively charged metal cation e.g. Na+, Mg2+, Al3+
  2. metal cations electrostatically attracted to delocalised negative electrons. form lattice of closely packed cations in sea of delocalised electrons - this is metallic bonding
25
Q

what affects melting point of a metal

A
  1. number of delocalised electrons per atom. more delocalised electrons, stronger bonding, higher melting point.
  2. size of metal ion and lattice structure. smaller ionic radius delocalised electrons closer to nuclei.
26
Q

why are metals malleable (can be hammered into sheets) and ductile (can be drawn into a wire)

A

no bonds holding specific ions together

metal ions can slide past each other when structure is pulled

27
Q

why are metals good thermal conductors

A

delocalised electrons can pass kinetic energy to each other

28
Q

why are metals good electrical conductors

A

delocalised electrons can move and carry a current

29
Q

why are metals insoluble (except from liquid metals)

A

strength of metallic bonds

30
Q

3 examples of simple molecular structures

A

O2
Cl2
P4
S8

31
Q

why do simple molecular structures have low mpt & bpt

A

covalent bonds between atoms in molecule very strong
mpt & bpt depend on strength of london dispersion forces between molecues
london dispersion forces are weak and easily overcome = low mpt and bpt

32
Q

why does S8 have higher mpt and bpt than Cl2 or P4

A

more atoms in a molecule

stronger london dispersion forcs

33
Q

why do noble gases have very low mpt and bpt

A

exist as individual atoms (monatomic)

very weak LDF

34
Q 
period 2 and 3 
for metals (Li, Na, Mg and Al) mpt & bpt increase across the period because
A

metallic bonds get stronger
ionic radius decreases
number of delocalised electrons increases

35
Q

period 2 and 3

for element with giant covalent lattice structures (C and Si) mpt and bpt is very high because

A

a lot of energy needed to break the strong covalent bonds

36
Q

period 2 and 3

for elements that form simple molecular structures low mpt and bpt because

A

weak intermolecular forces (LDF)

37
Q 
period 2 and 3 
noble gases (neon and argon) have lowest mpt and bpt because
A

held together by weakest forces
