Q

Describe Ionic Bonding

A

involves attraction between oppositely charged ions

Ionic bonds are very strong and require a large substantial amount of energy to break them

Typical of Metal Compounds

A

Each Carbon Atom is Covalently bonded to 3 other Carbon Atoms

21
Q

Arrangement of graphene

A

Single layer of Graphite

22
Q

Properties of Diamond

A

Does not conduct electricity(does not contain free ions)

Hard(Strong Covalent Bonds and rigid 3d structure)

High Melting and Boiling point(Many strong covalent bonds, require large amount of energy to break them)

23
Q

Properties of Graphite

A

Conduct electicty(Contains delocalised electrons which can carry and move charge)

Soft(Weak bonds between layers(see diagram))

High Melting and Boiling Points(many strong covalent bonds and require large amount of energy to break them)

24
Q

Properties of Graphene

A

Conduct electricity(Contains delocalized electrons which can carry and move charge)

Strong(Many strong covalent bonds)

High Melting and Boiling Points(many strong covalent bonds and require large amount of energy to break them)

25
Q

Use of Diamond

A

Cutting tools(hard)

26
Q

Use of Graphite

A

Pencils

Layers can slide over each other and off to a piece of paper when used it pencil

27
Q

Use of Graphene

A

Batteries as it can conduct electricity

28
Q

Properties of Metallic Structure

A

Conduct Electricity(delocalized electrons )

High Melting/boiling points(Strong covalent bonds)

Malleable(positive Ions can slide over each other without disrupting the bonding)

Ductile(positive Ions can slide over each other without disrupting the bonding

29
Q

Define Alloy

A

Mixture of elements, at least
one of which is a metal, and the resulting mixture has
metallic properties;

30
Q

Define Nanoparticles

A

Structures that are 1-100 nanometers in size,

contain a few hundred atoms

31
Q

Benifits of Nano Particles

A

Nanoparticles are used in sun creams as they give better skin coverage, rub on clear and give
better protection from the ultraviolet rays from the Sun

32
Q

Risks of Nano Particles

A

They may cause cell damage and as they wash off from our skin,
they may be harmful for the environment.
