Q

How does ionic binding work?

A

When a metal and a nonmetal react together , the metal atom loses electrons to form a positively charged ion and the nonmetal gains these electrons to form a negatively charged ion. These oppositely charged ions are strongly attracted to one another by electrostatic forces. This attraction is called an ionic bond

Q

What are the 6 examples of properties of simple molecular substances?

A
  • Simple molecular structures
  • Very strong covalent bonds
  • Low melting and boiling points
  • Gasses or liquids
  • As molecules get bigger, the strength of intermolecular forces increases, si more energy is needed to break them, and the melting and boiling points increase
  • Don’t conduct electricity

45
Q

Discuss the uses and limitations if dot and cross diagrams

A

Dot and cross diagrams are used to show:
○ Charge of the ions
○ The arrangement of electrons in the atom or ion
○ Empirical formula (correct ratio of ions)
○ Which of the electrons in an ion originally come from
Dot and cross diagrams do not
○ Show the structure of the compound
○ Correctly represent the size of the ions

46
Q

In an ionic compound, the particles are held together by _ forces of attraction. Theses forces act _ which results in the particles bonding together to form_
The words to pick from are weak,strong, in all directions, in one particular direction, giant lattices, small molecules

A

○Strong
○ In all directions
○ Giant lattices

47
Q

What subtances do ionic bonding

A

Metal & non-metal

48
Q

What is ionic bonding?

A

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between positive and negative
ions.
It is a relatively strong attraction.

49
Q

How are ionic compounds held together

A

● They are held together in a giant lattice.
● It’s a regular structure that extends in all directions in a
substance.
● Electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions holds
the structure together

50
Q

State properties of ionic substances

A

● High melting and boiling point (strong electrostatic forces between
oppositely charged ions)
● Do not conduct electricity when solid (ions in fixed positions).
● Conduct when molten or dissolved in water - ions are free to move.

51
Q

Give 5 examples of positive ions and 5 examples
of negative ions (give names of negative anions).
What is important when working out a formula of
an ionic compound?

A 
E.g. Positive: Na+
, Mg2+, Al3+, Ca2+, Rb+
,
E.g. Negative: Cl−
, Br−
, SO4
2−, NO3
−
, OH−
 (chloride, bromide, sulfate, nitrate,
hydroxide).
Ionic compounds are electrically neutral, i.e. positive and negative charges
balance each other.
52
Q

How are ionic compounds formed? Explain in

terms of MgO case.

A

Reaction of a metal with a non-metal.
Electron transfer occurs - metal gives away its outer shell electrons to
non-metal.
Mg is in Group II, so has 2 available outer shell electrons.
O is in Group VI, so can accept 2 electrons to get a full outer shell
configuration.
Mg becomes Mg2+ and O becomes O2− (oxide).

53
Q

What is a covalent bond?

A

Covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons between two atoms.

54
Q

Describe the structure and properties of simple

molecular covalent substances

A
  • Do not conduct electricity (no ions)
  • Small molecules
  • Weak intermolecular forces, therefore:
  • Low melting and boiling points
55
Q

How do intermolecular forces change as the

mass/size of the molecule increases

A

They increase. That causes melting/boiling points to increase as well (more
energy needed to overcome these forces).

56
Q

What are polymers? What are thermosoftening polymers?

A

Polymers are very large molecules (>100s, 1000s of atoms) with atoms linked by
covalent bonds.
Thermosoftening polymers - special type of polymers; they melt/soften when
heated. There are no bonds between polymer chains. Strong intermolecular forces
ensure that the structure is solid at room temperature. These forces are overcome
with heating - polymer melts.

57
Q

What are giant covalent substances? Give examples

A
  • Solids, atoms covalently bonded together in a giant lattice.
  • High melting/boiling points – strong covalent bonds.
  • Mostly don’t conduct electricity (no delocalised e−
    )
  • Diamond, graphite, silicon dioxide.
58
Q

Describe and explain the

properties of allotropes of carbon.

A

Diamond
– four, strong covalent bonds for each carbon atom
– very hard (Strong bonds)
– very high melting point (strong bonds)
– does not conduct (no delocalised electrons)
Graphite
– three covalent bonds for each carbon atom
– layers of hexagonal rings
– high melting point
– layers free to slide as weak intermolecular forces
between layers; soft, can be used as a lubricant
– conduct thermal and electricity due to one delocalised
electron per each carbon atom

 Fullerenes
 – hollow shaped molecules
 – based on hexagonal rings but may have
5/7-carbon rings
 – C60 has spherical shape, simple
molecular structure (Buckminsterfullerene)
 Nanotubes
 – cylindrical fullerene with high length to
diameter ratio
- High tensile strength (strong bonds)
- Conductivity (deloc. electrons)
Graphene - a single layer of graphite.
59
Q

What is metallic bonding?

A

Forces of attraction between delocalised electrons and nuclei of metal
ions.

60
Q

Describe properties of metals

A
  • High melting/boiling points (strong forces of attraction)
  • Good conductors of heat and electricity (delocalised electrons)
  • Malleable, soft (layers of atoms can slide over each other whilst maintaining
    the attraction forces)
61
Q

What are alloys? Why are they harder than pure

metals?

A

Alloys:
- mixtures of metal with other elements, usually metals
- different sizes of atoms distorts the layers, so they can’t slide over each other,
therefore alloys are harder than pure metals

62
Q

What are the limitations of

the simple model?

A

There are no forces between spheres and atoms, molecules and ions are solid
spheres – this is not true

63
Q

What does the amount of energy needed to
change state from solid to liquid or liquid to gas
depend on?

A

The strength of the forces between the particles of the substance. The
nature of the particles involved depends on the type of bonding and the
structure of the substance. The stronger the forces between the particles
the higher the melting point and boiling point of the substance

64
Q

A pure substance will melt or boil at…?

A

A fixed temperature.

A mixture will melt over a range of temperatures.

65
Q

What are the three states of matter?

A

Solid, liquid and gas

66
Q

What is nanoscience?

A

Science that studies particles that are 1 - 100nm in size

67
Q

State the uses of nanoparticles

A
  • Medicine (drug delivery systems)
  • Electronics
  • Deodorants
  • Sun creams (better skin coverage and more effective protection
    against cell damage)
68
Q

What are fine and coarse particles?

A
  • Fine particles (soot), 100-2500 nm diameter
  • Coarse particles (dust), 2500-105
    nm diameter
69
Q

Why do nanoparticles have properties different from

those for the same materials in bulk

A

High surface area to volume ratio
