31
Q

Diamond

A
  • Diamond is a giant lattice of carbon atoms
  • Each carbon is covalently bonded to four others in a tetrahedral arrangement with a bond angle of 109.5
  • The result is a giant lattice with strong bonds in all directions
32
Q

Graphite

A
  • In graphite, each carbon atom is bonded to three others in a layered structure
  • The layers are made of hexagons with a bond angle of 120o
  • The spare electron is delocalised and occupies the space in between the layers
  • All atoms in the same layer are held together by strong covalent bonds, and the different layers are held together by weak intermolecular forces
33
Q

Buckminsterfulleren (C60)

A

Buckminsterfullerene is one type of fullerene, named after Buckminster Fuller, the American architect who designed domes like the Epcot Centre in Florida
It contains 60 carbon atoms, each of which is bonded to three others by single covalent bonds
The fourth electron is delocalised so the electrons can migrate throughout the structure making the buckyball a semi-conductor

34
Q

Graphene

A

Some substances contain an infinite lattice of covalently bonded atoms in two dimensions only to form layers. Graphene is an example
Graphene is made of a single layer of carbon atoms that are bonded together in a repeating pattern of hexagons
Graphene is one million times thinner than paper; so thin that it is actually considered two dimensional

35
Q

Silicon(IV)oxide

A

Silicon(IV)oxide is also known as silicon dioxide, but you will be more familiar with it as the white stuff on beaches!
Silicon(IV)oxide adopts the same structure as diamond - a giant structure made of tetrahedral units all bonded by strong covalent bonds
Each silicon is shared by four oxygens and each oxygen is shared by two silicons
This gives an empirical formula of SiO2

36
Q

London (dispersion) forces

A
  • electrons in atoms are not static
  • a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles.
  • This force is sometimes called an induced dipole-induced dipole attraction.
  • ## present between all atoms and molecules
37
Q

what does the strenght of london dispersion forces depend on?

A

number of electrons:
- greater number of electrons in a molecule = greater frequency and magnitude of temporary dipole
- melting and boiling points are larger
surface area of molecules:
- more contact it will have with adjacent molecules
- greater london dispersion forces
- higher melting anf boiling point

38
Q

dipole - dipole attractions

A

permanent dipole-dipole bonding
- slight increase in strength of intermolecular attractions
- increased boiling point
-

39
Q

hydrogen bonding

A

strongest type of intermolecular forces
- species with O or N or F atom with an available lone pair of electrons
- a hydrogen attached to the O or N or F
- the H becomes so δ+, that it can form a bond with the lone pair of an N or O atom

40
Q

What influences the physical properties of covalent compounds

A
  • physical properties of molecular covalent compounds are largely influenced by their intermolecular forces
  • if you know the type of intermolecular forces present you can predict the physical properties like melting and boiling point, solubility and conductivity.
41
Q

melting and boiling point in relation to intermolecular forces

A

stronger the forces = higher melting and boiling point

42
Q

what affects the strength of intermolecular forces?

A
  • size of molecule
  • ## increase in the polarity of molecule
43
Q

solubility of polar compounds

A

polar dissolves in polar solvent as a result of dipole - dipole interactions or the formation fo hydrogen bonds between solute and solvent

44
Q

solubility of non polar compounds

A

dissolve in non-polar solvents, they form dispersion forces between the solvents and the solute

45
Q

how are metals atoms packed together?

A

lattice structure

46
Q

what does the lattice structure of allow for the electrond to do

A
  • the electrons in their outer shells are free to move throughout the structure
  • free-moving electrons are ‘delocalised’
  • when electrons are delocalised, the metal atoms become positively charged
  • positive charges repel each other and keep the neatly arranged lattice in place
  • ## positive metal centers are suspended in a ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons
47
Q

properties of metals

A
  • malleable
  • metal layers can slide
  • strong and hard
  • high melting and boiling points
48
Q

conductivity of metals

A
  • ## can conduct electricty when in the solid or liquid state
49
Q

what affects the strength of metallic bonds

A

charge on the metal ion
- greater the charge = greater number of delocalised elecctrons, greater charge difference
- stronger electrostatic attractions, stronger metallic bond

radius of the metal ion
- smaller ionic radius means stronger metallic bonds

50
Q

melting points of metals across a period

A

the stronger the metallic bonding, the more nergy is need to break the metallic lattice and so the higher melting point
- as you go across the higher melting point

51
Q

melting points down the group

A

as you go down the group, the attraction between valance electrons and the metalic lattice decreases
decrease in metling point

52
Q

what are alloys

A
  • Alloys are mixtures of metals, where the metals are mixed together physically but are not chemically combined
  • They can also be made from metals mixed with nonmetals such as carbon
  • Ions of the different metals are spread throughout the lattice and are bound together by the delocalized electrons
  • It is possible to form alloys because of the non-directional nature of the metallic bonds
