Q

What does a dot and cross diagram show?

Explain?

A

Covalent compouds

You draw 2 atoms woth there electrons either being dots or corsses (1 for each element)

You can then draw these again but with the extra electron changing atom

Q

What is a giant ionic lattice?

A

A closely packed regular lattice which is connected by ionic bonds. This means that the electrostatic forces holding the lattice together are really strong. This means that it has a high melting and boiling point

It is made up of oppositly charged ions in all directions of the lattice

Q

What are the similar properties of an ionic compound?

A

They have a high melting and boiling point due to the strong electrostatic forces. Lots of energy are needed to break these

They can’t conduct electricity when they are a solid but when they are in a liquid they will conduct electricity

Some ionic compounds disolve in water. The ions will seperate and will be free to move around. This means that they will conduct electricity

Q

How do you work out the empirical formula of an ionic compound from a diagram or from a dot and cross diagram?

A

Dot and cross diagram

Count the electrons to find out what element they are

And look at how many of each element there are

DIAGRAM

Look at the amount of electrons each element would need to get to a charge of 0

Balnce them

Eg

K (potassium) forms 1+ ions

O (oxygen) forms 2- ions

You would need 2 K atoms to make the overal charge 0

Therefore the empirical formula is K_2O

Q

What is covalent bonding?

A

When non metal’s share electrons to complete there outer shells

This can also happen in non metal compounds

Q

Are covalent bonds strong or week?

Why?

A

They are strong

The electrons are attracted to both of the positivly charged nuclei. This creates strong electrostatic bonds

Q

How do you draw a dot and cross diagram for covalent bonding?

A

They outer shellss of the electrons need to be overlaping

There will be pairs of electrons inside the shared area

There will be the same amount of crosses as dots in each overlap

Q

What is the 3D model / ball and stick model?

Explain it?

A

A way of showing covalent bonds

It is a 3D representation

17
Q

What are the advantages of the ball and stick model?

A

You can see the gaps between the bonds

Easy to use

You can see how the atoms are arranged

18
Q

What are the disadvantages of the ball and stick model?

A

It can get very confusing with larger covalent structures

They don’t show where the electrons have come from

It isn’t to scale

19
Q

What are simple molecular structures?

A

Substances that are made out of a few atoms joined by covalent bonding

20
Q

Give some common examples of common simple molecular structures?

A

H_2

Cl_2

N_2

O_2

CH_4

H_2O

HCl

21
Q

What are the properties of simple molecular structures?

A

To boil / melt them you don’t need to break the strong covalent bonds (between the atoms) but the very week intermolecular forces between each molecules (each H_2 molecule). Therefore the MELTING AND BOILING points are LOW

Most simple molecular substances are liquid or gas at room tempreture

As the molecules get bigger the strength of the intermolecular forces increase so the melting and boiling points increase

They don’t conduct electricity because they don’t have a free electron or ion

22
Q

What is a polymer?

A

Long chains of repeating units which form long molecules by covalent bonds

23
Q

How do you draw a poleymer?

A

Using straight lines (to show the covalent bonds)

Showing the shortest repeated chain (this is called the POLY(ETHENE)

Enclosed by brackets around the bit that repeates

Some of the covalent binds may extend outside the brackes to show that is repeates

The letter n on the bottom right of the brackets that shows that it repeats a lot of times

24
Q

What are some charatristics of polymers?

A

The intermolecular forces between polymers are larger than the covalent bonds between simple covalent molecules. Therefore they have a higher melting point/ boiling point that simple covalent molecules.

Thye are normally a SOLID at room tempreture

The intermolecular forces are still normally weeker than ionic bonds therefore they have a lower melting point / boiling point that ionic compounds and giant molecular compounds

25
Q

What are macromolecules?

A

A structure which has a lot of atoms in it

26
Q

What are giant covalent structures?

Give 3 examples?

A

They are macromolecules

All atoms are bonded to each other with strong covalent bonds

Diamond, graphite, silicon dioxide

27
Q

What are some charatristics of giant covalent structures?

A

They don’t conduct electricity (other than a few exceptions such as graphite).

Even when they are in a molten form

28
Q

What is metalic bonding?

A

The sharing of delocalised electrons between 2 or more metals

29
Q

What is the structure of metal?

A

Giant structure

They contain delocalised electrons in there outer shell (this means they are free to move around)

When metals share these they create powerfull metalic bonds

The delocalised electrons create strong electrostatic attraction between the positive metal ions and the negative electrons

30
Q

What substances can metalic bonding make?

A

Alloys

Metalic elements

31
Q

What are the charatristics of most metals?

A

Most metels are soild at room tempretures

The electrostatic forces between the metals are very strong and they require a lot of energy to break. This leads to a high metling and boiling point

Theu conduct electricity and heat well

Are malluable (this means they can be bent, hammered or rolled into flat sheets easily)

All charatristics are because of the delocalised electrons

32
Q

Why are alloys harder than pure metals?

A

Alloys are a mixture of different sized metal atoms. This means that they layers won’t slide over each other easily because the layers have been DISTORTED. This makes it harder for the layers to slide over each other whuch makes the metal harder.
