Q

properties of ionic compounds

A
  1. high melting and boiling points- strong ionic bonds that require a lot of energy to break
  2. cannot conduct electricity when solid, only when liquid- when solid, ions are not free to move and carry charge
    when liquid, ions are free to move and carry charge

  3. soft
20
Q

state the properties of graphene

A
  1. high melting and boiling points
  2. good conductors of electricity
  3. hard
21
Q

definition of a metallic bond

A

the attraction between delocalised electrons and a regular lattic of positive ions

22
Q

properties of metals

A
  1. metals often have high melting and boiling points
  2. metals are good conductors of electricity
  3. metals are malleable and ductile
23
Q

definition of malleable

A

can be hammared into shape

24
Q

definition of ductile

A

can be drawn into a wire

25
Q

why do metals usually have high melting and boiling points

A

metallic bond is strong and requires a lot of energy to break

26
Q

why are metals good conductors of electricity

A

the electrons are delocalised and are free to move and carry the charge

27
Q

why are metals malleable and ductile

A

layers (of ions) can slide over each other without disrupting the structure

28
Q

definition of an alloy

A

a mixture of elements, at least one of which is a metal

29
Q

why are alloys harder than pure metals

A

some of the ions (or atoms) in the alloy of a different size to those of the metal. this distorts the layers and makes it more difficult for the layers to slide over each other

30
Q

equation to determine the % of gold in an alloy

A

number of carats/24 x 100

31
Q

state a use of aluminium

A

overhead electrical wiring, alloys for aircraft

32
Q

state a use of copper

A

electrical wiring, plumbing, brass, coinage

33
Q

state a use of iron

A

bridges

34
Q

state a use of magnesium

A

flares, high strength, low density alloys for aircraft

35
Q

what is a nanoparticle

A

a structure that is 1-100nm in size and contains a few hundred atoms

36
Q

why do nanoparticles have different properties and uses than the bulk material

A

high surface area to volume ratio

37
Q

state a use of nanoparticles in sun cream

A

better skin coverage to the sun cream, more effective protection from u.v. rays, invisible on the skin, do not degrade on exposure to the sun

38
Q

what are the potential risks of using nanoparticles

A

cell damage, harmful effects on the enviroment
