Q

What are the 3 properties of ionic compounds?

A

› high melting points and boiling points - lots of energy needed to overcome many strong bonds.
› when solid, the ions are held in place so compounds can’t conduct electricity.
↳ when they are molten or dissolved, the ions are free to move and they’ll carry electric charge.
› giant ionic lattice structure - electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions act in all directions.

Q

Give 3 properties of simple covalent compounds.

A

› simple molecular structures.
› held together by very strong covalent bonds - forces of attraction between these molecules are very weak.
› most molecule substances are gases or liquids at room temperature.
›as they get bigger, the strength of the intercellular forces increases so more energy is needed to break them and the melting and boiling points increases.
› don’t conduct electricity as they aren’t charged so they are no free electrons or ions.

Q

What are the 4 properties of a graphite covalent structures?

A

› three covalent bonds creating sheets of carbon atoms arranged in hexagons.
› no covalent bonds between layers and held together weakly so free to move over each other.
↳ soft and slippery.
› high melting point.
› one electron thats delocalised (free) and can move so it conducts electricity and thermal energy.

A

GRAPHENE IS ONE LAYER OF GRAPHITE
› a sheet of carbon atoms joined together in hexagons.
›one atom thick - two dimensional substance.
›very strong and light.
› delocalised electrons so can conduct electricity through the whole structure.
› high melting point.

20
Q

What is a fullerenes?

A

Molecules of carbon shaped like a closed tubes or hollow balls which can be used to deliver drugs into the body and as lubricants.

21
Q

What do pure metals and alloys (mixture of metals) have in common?

A

Metallic bonding.

22
Q

Describe metallic bonding.

A

Positive metals ions surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons.

23
Q

Why are alloys harder than pure metals?

A

› pure metals are often too soft when pure - most metals we use everyday are alloys.
› different elements have different sized atoms so when another element is mixed with a pure metal, the new metal atoms will distort the layers of metal atoms making it more difficult for them to slide over each other making alloys harder than pure metals.

24
Q

What are alloys?

A

A mixture of two or more metals or a metal and another element.

27
Q

What are the limitations of the particle theory?

A

› shape - particles aren’t solid or inelastic and aren’t spheres.
› no forces between particles - no way of knowing how strong they are.

Melting.

41
Q

What is the process called when a liquid changes state to a gas?

A

Boiling.

42
Q

What is the process called when a gas changes state to a liquid?

A

Condensing.

43
Q

What is the process called when a liquid changes state to a solid?

A

Freezing.

44
Q

What happens when a substance is being molten or boiled?

A

Substance heats up ⟶ particles gain energy ⟶ forces between particles weaken ⟶ particles break free from position.

45
Q

What happens when a substance is being condensed or frozen?

A

Substance cools down ⟶ particles lose energy ⟶ forces between particles form ⟶ particles held into position.
