Q

When metals and non metals transfer electrons

A 
Atoms become charged. Make ions.
Metal is positively charged
Non metal is negatively charged

Q

Why do atoms bond

A

To make stable electronic structures
It is easier for metals to lose electrons and become positive ions
And easier for non metals to gain electrons to become negative ions

Q

Intramolecular bonds

A

The atoms of the monomers along the chains in a polymer are held together by strong covalent bonds. These are bonds within the polymer molecules

20

Changing surface area to volume ratio

Nanoparticles

A

When a material becomes a nanoparticle its properties change
Gold- displays different colours
Titanium dioxide- becomes invisible
Silver- destroys bacteria
Other materials become more reactive as sa to v ratio increases making them better catalysts
