Q

Difference between boiling and evaporation

A

In evaporation particles only leave the substance from the surface
In boling bubbles of gas form throughout the liquid and rise to the surface

Q

How do alloys make metals harder

A

The mixture of different metal atoms distorts the regular lattice layers and prevents them from sliding over each other making alloys harder to bend

16
Q

Properties of ionic compounds

A

High melting point, energy needed to overcome electrostatic bonds
High boiling point
Can’t conduct electricity as ions cannot move around the substance
However can conduct electricity as liquid or solution

17
Q

Simple covalent properties

A

Low melting/ boiling points
Weak intermolecular forces
Do not conduct electricity

18
Q

Describe the diamond giant covalent structure

A

Each carbon bonded to 4 other carbons
Very strong
Alot of energy needed to break bonds
High melting/boiling point
Does not conduct electricity has no free floating electrons

19
Q

Describe the silicon dioxide giant covalent structure

A

Similar to diamond but not bonded to as many particles

20
Q

Describe the graphite giant covalent structure

A

Each carbon bonded to 3 other carbons
Arranged hexagonally
Each carbon has 1 delocalised electron that can carry electricity through the substance
Millions of layers on top of each other
Layers are held together by the weak intermolecular forces
Layers can slide over each other because of no covalent bond between the layers
High melting point as there is alot of energy required to break the 3 bonded carbons

21
Q

Describe the graphene giant covalent structure

A

Strong due to 3 covalent bonds for every carbon
Conduct electricity due to delocalised electrons

22
Q

2 Uses of graphene

A

Added to other materials to make them stronger
Used in electrics and composites
