Q

describe how an ionic bond is formed
3 points

A

(a metal and non metal react)
metal loses outer electrons & forms + charged ion
non-metal gains outer electrons and forms - charged ion
oppositely charged ions are strongly attracted by electrostatic forces
(this attraction is called ionic bond.)

Q

why do ionic compounds have high melting/ boiling points

why do ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted/ dissolved in water

A

large amounts of energy needed to break the strong bonds between ions
melted/ dissolved- ions are free to move, so they’ll carry an electric charge

dissolved- ions separate, free to move in solution

Q

how do you work out empirical formula from a 3d diagram and then from a dot and cross diagram
3 steps
remember in test to put working out on page/reasoning

A

work out what ions are in compound

work out what charges the ions will form

balance the charges so the charge of the empirical formula is 0

eg. potassium forms 1+ ion
oxygen forms 2- ion
need 2 potassiums to balance out the 2- charge of Oxygen

empirical formula is K¬2O

  • for dot and cross, count number of atoms of each element

62
Q

this then depends on

A

the strength of the forces between the particles of the substance.
the material, temperature, pressure.

63
Q

describe particles in solid
4 points

A
  • strong forces of attraction keeps particles
    -close together in fixed positions in a
    -lattice arrangement
  • solid has set shape and volume (as particles dont move)

-vibrate in fixed positions- more when solid is hotter
(causing solids to expand when heated)

64
Q

4 points

A

-weak forces of attraction
-randomly arranged and free to move
-tend to stick closely together

-fixed volume, not shape ( will flow to fill bottom of container)

-constantly move in random motion- faster when liquid hotter
(liquids expand slightly when heated)

65
Q

A
  • weak forces of attraction
  • particles free to move + are far apart
    -travel in straight lines
  • no definite shape/ volume (fill any container)

-constantly move in random motion- faster when gas is hotter
( when heated, gases EITHER expand / pressure increases

66
Q

limitation of simple model of atoms in gas, liquid, solid
x3

-there are no forces in model ( so don’t know how strong they are)
-all particles represented as spheres
-spheres are solid.

67
Q

describe how solid becomes liquid and liquid becomes gas

A

solid/liquid heated
particles gain energy
vibrate more / faster
forces that hold solid/liquid are weakened/ broken
at melting point/ boiling point particles have enough energy to break free from position/ break bonds
change state to liquid/gas

68
Q

describe how gas becomes liquid and liquid becomes solid

A

gas / liquid cools and particles don’t have enough energy to overcome forces of attraction
bonds form/ more bonds form

at BP, so many bonds formed that gas becomes liquid- condensing
at MP, so many bonds form that particles held in place- liquid becomes solid- freezing

(+clothes)

74

A

-the effects on health not yet properly investigated.(some believe nanoparticle products should be clearly labelled)

  • not clear if they get into body and damage cells- (Modern nanoparticulate materials have only common recently,hard to determine risks)

better than traditional suncreams at protecting skin from harmful UV

better skin coverage

76
