C3(Structure And Bonding) Flashcards
What are the 3 states of matter
Solid
Liquid
Gas
What is arrangement of particles in a solid
-Particles have a fixed shape and volume and are in a fixed position
-Particles vibrate
What is the arrangement of particles in a liquid
-Liquids have a fixed volume but can flow and change their shape
-particles slip and slide over each other
What is the arrangement of particles in a gas
-Gases have no fixed shape or volume
-They can be compressed
-Particles move very quickly in all directions as the particles bash against the walls of the container, they exert a force that causes pressure
The energy from melting and boiling is ….
Transferred from the surroundings to the substance
The energy from freezing and condensing is ….
Transferred from the substance to the surroundings
The elements in group 1 react with the elements in group 7 as they react …
-Atoms of group 1 elements can each lose one electron to gain the stable electronic structure of a noble gas
-This electron can be given to an atom from group 7 which also achieves the stable electronic structure of a noble gas
representing ionic bonding
What are the properties of ionic compounds
-High melting and boiling points as it takes a lot of energy to break the ionic bonds
-strong electrostatic forces of attraction
-They are solid at room temperature
What are the properties of an ionic solid
-Ions are fixed in position in a giant lattice
-They vibrate but cannot move around
-It does not conduct electricity
What are the properties of a molten ionic compound
-High temperature provides enough energy to overcome the many strong attractive forces between ions
-Ions are free to move around within the molten compound therefore these ions can carry charge through the liquid therefore conducting electricity
What are the properties of an ionic compound in solution
-Water molecules separate ions from the lattice therefore ions are free to move around within the solution therefore conducting electricity
Representing simple covalent bonding
What are the properties of simple covalent molecules
-low melting and boiling points as they have weak intermolecular forces
-Doesn’t conduct electricity
Polymers are …
Many small reactive molecules that bond to each other to form long chains
Representing polymers
What are intermolecular forces
The force of attraction between the individual molecules in a covalent substance
What are the properties of giant covalent structures
-High melting and boiling points
-Insoluble in water
-Apart from graphite, they are hard and do not conduct electricity
What are the properties of graphite
-Carbon atoms only bond to three other carbon atoms, they form hexagons which are arranged in giant layers
-There are no covalent bonds between the layers therefore the layers can slide over each other easily
-Conduct electricity and thermal energy because of the delocalised electrons that can move along its layers
What are the properties of diamond and silicon dioxide
-Carbon atoms bond to 4 other carbon atoms therefore making a rigid giant covalent structure which makes it a very hard substance
-Diamond and silica has no delocalised electrons therefore they don’t conduct electricity or thermal energy
