Q

Why are metals such good conductors of heat

A

The sea of electrons have high thermal conductivites

The ions are closely packed together so when heated they vibrate vigrously and enegry spreads throughout the metal as a result

Q

How does the charge of the ion make metallic bond strong

A

As it means that there are more deloclasied electrons and so a stronger electrostatic attraction occurs between the ions and electrons

Q

How does ion size make a strong metallic bond

Q

Name in order of strength of each bond

A

Hydrogen bond
Dipole - dipole
Van der waals

33
Q

What is polarity

A

The unequal distribution of electron density within a covalent bond between atoms

34
Q

When do dipole dipole forces occur

A

They occur between molecules that contain permeant dipoles

35
Q

What are van der waals forces

A

They are small very weak electrostatic attractions that occur between molecules and atoms

36
Q

What causes van der waals forces to occur

A

Positive and negative charges that make up all atoms and molecules

37
Q

Although neutral why may a dipole occur in a atom

A

As a result of electrons constantly moving around it causes the distribution of charge to change

38
Q

How is the dipole a temporary one

A

As the electrons are always changing direction the dipole does as well and so when a dipole occurs it’s only instant and temporary

39
Q

What affect does a dipole occurring in one atom have on surrounding atoms

A

It has an effect on electron distribution of the nearby surrounding atoms and so they become attracted to the original atom

40
Q

What has the original atom caused in the nearby atoms

A

It had induced dipoles

41
Q

When electron disturbution in the original atom has changed what effect does it have on the other atoms

A

It will induce new dipoles in the surrounding atoms and these new dipoles become attracted to the original atom

42
Q

What is the attraction of the new dipoles to the original atom

A

Van der waals

43
Q

What happens to van der waals when more electrons are present

A

They increase in size

44
Q

What conditions are needed for hydrogen bond to take place

A

Lone pair of electrons

Highly electronegative atoms

A positively charged hydrogen atom so it attracts the lone pair of electrons

45
Q

What are the 3 electronegative atoms that can bond with hydrogen

A

Oxygen
Fluorine
Nitrogen

46
Q

Why do solids expand when heated

A

This is because when heated the particles in the solid move apart slightly causing the solid to expand

47
Q

What is enthalpy change of melting

A

The amount of enegry needed to weaken the forces in a solid so it can become a liquid

48
Q

Why does temperature not change when a solid melts

A

As the heat enegry is being absorbed by the forces in a solid causing it to weaken and then melt

49
Q

What is enthalpy

A

A measure of the change In Heat under pressure

50
Q

What it’s the enthalpy change of vaporisation

A

The amount of energy needed to break the intermolecular forces between liquid particles so a gas forms

51
Q

What are crystals

A

They are solids in which there particles are in a regular arrangement and are held by forces of attraction

52
Q

What are the 4 types if crystals

A

Ionic
Metallic
Molecular
Metallic

53
Q

Describe the structure of ionic crystals

Q

Describe the structure of metallic crystals

57
Q

How are atoms within the molecules held

A

They are held by covalent bond

How is the structure of graphite different to that of diamond

A

Unlike in diamond graphite froms 3 covalent bonds for each carbon atom

65
Q

Why is graphite able to conduct electricity unlike

A

It contains an extra electron in each carbon atom so it because deloclasied when carries the charge through

Q

Why is graphite so soft

A

It contains van der waals forces between it’s layers so the layers slide over one another

67
Q

What is electron pair reply soon theory

A

That pairs is electrons around atoms will repel one another

68

Give the order in which repulsion increases between bonding pairs

A

Bonding pair -bonding pair
Lone pair bond pair
Lone pair lone pair
