Q

Why does the melting point of metals increase across a period?

A

Group 1 metals form + charges
Group 2 metals form 2+ charges
Group 3 metals form 3+ charges
This means that as they go across the melting point increases as they form metallic bonding with more higher charged cations

Q

Down a group, the melting point….

A

Decreases.

This is because the size of the cations increase which means theres a larger distance between the nucleus and outer electrons so there are weaker attraction

Q

State and explain the general trend in melting point if the period 3 metals.

A

Across a period the charge of the cation increases, so there is a stronger attraction between the cation and delocalised electrons.

This stronger attraction means the strength of the metallic bonding increases across a period and so therefore the melting point too

A

4 other carbon atoms

88
Q

In graphite each carbon atom bonds to how many other carbon atoms ?

A

3 different carbon atoms

89
Q

What is graphite?

A

A macromolecule with sheets held by intermolecular forces (vdw).

90
Q

What are allotropes?

A

The different structures that can form when atoms of that element bond together.
Eg carbon made diamond and graphite

91
Q

Why do graphite have delocalised electrons?

A

In graphite, each carbon uses 3 electrons to make single bonds to other carbon atoms. This leaves one electron in the 2p orbital. These 2p orbitals overlap and have delocalised electrons.- bonding between carbons are strong due to this

92
Q

Why can graphite conduct electricity but diamond can’t?

A

Graphite has delocalised electrons which can move freely between each layer and carry a charge. Diamonds outer electrons are in a covalent bond so there are not delocalised electrons to carry a charge.

93
Q

Why is graphite so soft?

A

As to separate the layers in graphite you only need to break the weak intermolecular forces between them.

94
Q

Why is diamond so hard?

A

You need to break strong C-C bonds

95
Q

Why do graphite and diamond have high melting points?

A

as you need to break the string covalent bonds between the carbon atoms
