Q

Describe the structure of a metallic lattice (reference positive ions and electrons)

A

the electrons leave the outer shell of metal atoms forming positive metal ions. the structure of the solid metal consists of closely packed metal ions arranged in a regular way.

Q

What are the limitations of the particle theory in relation to changes of state?

A

It assumes that particles are the same in any substance so cannot adapt to mass or size or force of attraction to other particles.

Q

What do substances which consist of small moles (gases or liquids) usually have?

A

relatively low melting and boiling points

24
Q

What happens when small molecules melt or boil? (reference intermolecular forces present)

A

Weak intermolecular forces are overcome. Covalent bonds are not broken

25
Q

How do intermolecular forces change as the size of the molecules increase and what effect does this have on the melting and boiling point of substances?

A

The bigger the molecule, the bigger its electron cloud meaning the greater the opportunity for intermolecular force.

26
Q

What do small molecules not do?

A

they don’t conduct electricity

27
Q

What are the properties of small molecules in terms of their structure and bonding?

A

strong covalent bonds that hold the atoms together

28
Q

What do polymers have?

A

very large molecules
those molecules are linked to other atoms by strong covalent bonds

29
Q

What is the relative strength of the intermolecular forces between polymer molecules and what effect does this have on their state at room temp?

A

strong compared to the intermolecular forces between smaller molecules

30
Q

What do substances that consist of giant covalent structures have?

A

very high melting points

31
Q

What are giant covalent structures linked by?

A

very strong covalent bonds

32
Q

What are the properties of giant covalent structures in terms of their structure and bonding?

A

high melting point as it takes a lot of energy to break the strong covalent bonds between the atoms
they cannot conduct electricity as they have no overall charge

33
Q

What happens to giant covalent structures when they melt or boil? (reference covalent bonds present)

A

large amounts of energy are needed to overcome their strong covalent bonds to make them melt or boil

34
Q

What are some examples of giant covalent structures?

A

diamond, graphite and silicon dioxide

35
Q

What do metals have?

A

giant structures of atoms with strong metallic bonds

36
Q

What do metallic bonds mean?

A

most have high melting and boiling points?

37
Q

Whats the arrangements of atoms in pure metals?

A

neat layers

38
Q

What are the properties of metals in terms of their structure and bonding?

A

arranged in a regular pattern and are closely packed together

39
Q

What is an alloy and how are the atoms arranged?

A

Atoms of different sizes, this distorts the layers.

40
Q

What are metals good conductors of?

A

electricity and thermal energy

41
Q

Describe the structure of a diamond

giant covalent structure in which each carbon atom is joined to 4 other carbon atoms by strong covalent bonds

42
Q

What are some properties of diamonds in terms of its structure and bonding?

A

very hard
very high melting point
^ ( strong covalent bonds)

43
Q

Describe the structure of graphite?

A

44
Q

what are properties of graphite in terms of its structure and bonding?

A

high melting point (strong covalent bonds)
Conducts electricity (free carbon bond)

45

a single layer of carbon atoms tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice

46
Q

A

electronics and composites

47
Q

What are the properties of graphene in terms of its structure and bonding?

A

very high melting point and very strong because of its large regular arrangement of carbon atoms joined by covalent bonds

48

A

composed entirely of carbon

49
Q

What was the first fullerene to be discovered?

A

Buckminsterfullerene ( sphere shape )

Why do nano particles have properties different from those with the same materials?

A

high surface area over volume ratio

54
