Q

What determines the amount of energy required to change a substances state?

A

The strength of the forces between the particles of the substance

Type of bonding and structure of substance

The stronger the forces, the higher he melting point

Q

Properties of ionic compounds

A
  • High melting and boiling points (large forces of attraction between particles)
  • When melted or dissolved in water, they can conduct electricity because ions are free to move so charge can flow

Q

Properties of small molecules

A
  • Low melting and boiling points
  • Weak forces of attraction, (INTERMOLECULAR FORCES OVERCOME and NOT COVALENT BONDS)
  • Cannot conduct electricity, because small molecules have no charge

16
Q

Giant covalent structures

A
  • Solids with very high melting points
  • All linked by strong covalent bonds
  • ## These bonds must be overcome to boil the substance
17
Q

Properties of metals and alloys

A
  • High melting and boiling points
  • Arranged in layers, so malleable
  • Alloys are less malleable and harder
18
Q

Why are metals good conductors of electricity?

A

Delocalised electrons in metal carry charge through metal.

Also good conductor of thermal energy because delocalised electrons transfer energy

19
Q

Diamond

A
  • 4 covalent bonds with each CARBON atom
  • Giant covalent structure
  • So is very hard
  • High melting point
  • Does NOT conduct electricity
20
Q

Graphite

A
  • Each CARBON atom forms 3 covalent bonds with 3 other carbon atoms
  • Forms layers of hexagonal rings with no covalent bonds between layers
  • High thermal and electrical conductivity, one delocalised electron per carbon atom
  • High melting and boiling point
21
Q

Graphene

A

Single layer of graphite and has properties making it useful in :

  • Electronics
  • Composites
22
Q

What are fullerenes

A
  • Molecules of carbon atoms with hollow shapes

- hexagonal rings of carbon atoms

23
Q

Uses of fullerenes

A

Eg. Carbon nanotubes

  • Nanotechnology
  • Electronics
  • Materials
24
Q

What happens to the surface area and volume ratio when the side of a cube decreases by a factor of 10?

A

Surface area to volume ratio increases by a factor of 10

25
