bonding, structure and the properties of matter Flashcards
what substance can be sublime?
solid carbon dioxide (dry ice)
what happens during change of state?
during the changes particles gain energy which is used to break bonds between particles.
what is a solid?
solid is a fixed shape and cannot flow, they cannot be compressed as they have no space to move into
what is a liquid?
liquids flow and take the shape of their container, their particles can move around each other but cannot be compressed
what is a gas?
gases flow and completely fill the container, the particles can move quickly and can be compressed
what does the amount of energy needed to change state depend on?
the strength of the forces between the particles
what is the negative electrode?
cathode
what is the positive electrode?
anode
what is the negative ion?
anion
what is the positive ion?
cation
what is used to lower the boiling point up in electrolysis?
cryolite
what is produced at the cathode? (negative electrode)
hydrogen is produced if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen
what is produced at the anode? (positive electrode)
oxygen is produced unless the solution contains halide ions when the halogen is produced
what happens to the melting and boiling point of substances?
the stronger the forces between particles, the higher its melting and boiling points
what process is condensing and freezing?
exothermic
what process is melting, evaporating and boiling?
endothermic
what happens to the forces of attraction during condensing and freezing?
they get stronger
if the given temperature is lower than the melting point what will the predicted state be?
solid
if the given temperature is between melting and boiling point, what will the predicted state be?
liquid
if the given temperature is bigger than the boiling point, what will the predicted state be?
gas
how are ions formed?
by the transfer of electrons
what pattern is an ionic compound?
the lattice is a regular pattern with oppositely charged ions next to each other
what is an ionic lattice held together by?
strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
what do ionic compounds have?
high melting and boiling points, they are in the solid state at room temperature
