Q

What properties do ionic compounds have?

A

High melting and boiling points
Can’t conduct electricity when solid however when dissolved they can as ions are free to move

Q

Why are covalent bonds very strong?

A

Because the positive charged nuclei of the bonded atoms are attracted to the shared pair of electrons by electrostatic force

16
Q

What are the properties of diamond?

A

Very hard as 4 strong covalent bonds on each carbon
Very high melting point
Doesn’t conduct electricity as no free electrons/ions

17
Q

What are the properties of graphite?

A

Soft and slippery as no bonds between layers
High melting point
Can conduct electricity as delocalised electron

18
Q

What is graphene?

A

One layer of graphite

19
Q

What are the properties of graphene?

A

Covalent bonds make it strong
Light
Conducts electricity

20
Q

What are fullerenes shaped like?

A

Molecules of carbon shaped like close tubes or hollow balls

21
Q

What can fullerenes be used for?

A

To cage other molecules to e.g. deliver a drug into the body
Industrial catalysts

22
Q

What are properties of fullerenes - surface area?

A

Large surface area

23
Q

What are nanoTUBES?

A

Fullerene (tiny carbon cylinder)
Conducts electricity and thermal energy (heat)
Strong

24
Q

What is metallic bonding?

A

Electrons in outer shell of a metal are delocalised
Strong forces of electrostatic attraction between positive metal ion and shared negative electrons
Forces hold the atoms together in a regular structure

25
Q

What are the properties of metals (metallic bonding)?

A

High melting and boiling points as strong bonds
Conduct electricity due to delocalised electron
Can be bent/hammered/rolled as layers can slide over each other

26
Q

Why are alloys harder than pure metals?

A

Different elements have different sizes atoms
When another element is mixed with a pure metal layers of metal atoms are distorted
So it is more difficult for them to slide over each other

27
Q

What happens when a solid is melted then boiled?

A

Heated so particles gain more energy
They vibrate which weakens forces
Particles then have enough energy to break free from their positions
Then heated more till enough energy to break their bonds

28
Q

What happens when a gas is condensed then frozen?

A

Gas cools so particles don’t have enough energy to overcome forces of attraction
Bonds form
Less energy so more bonds form till held in place

29
Q

What are nanoparticles diameter?

A

They have a diameter between 1nm and 100nm

30
Q

What is the surface area to volume ratio of a nanoparticle?

A

surface area / volume
