Q

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point while carbon dioxide has a very low melting point. Explain this difference.

A

Aluminium oxide is ionically bonded and therefore has many strong ionic bonds between each ion. For it to melt every bond needs to be broken and therefore a lot of energy is required whereas Carbon Dioxide has simple molecular bonding and therefore has a low melting point as it has weak intermolecular forces between each molecule which do not require much energy to break.

Q

Carbon dioxide does not conduct electricity in any state whereas aluminium oxide will conduct electricity when it is molten. explain this difference.

A

For a substance to conduct it needs to have mobile charged particles. Carbon dioxide is covalently bonded and therefore does not have any charged particles. That means that the carbon dioxide cannot conduct in any state. Aluminium oxide is ionically bonded which means that it does have charged particles. When it is in a solid state it does not have “mobile particles” as it is fixed in a lattice and therefore cannot conduct, however when molten it does have charged particles that are free and can therefore conduct.

Q

Explain why diamond is hard but graphite is soft.

A

Diamond has a giant covalent lattice and each carbon atom is bonded to 4 other carbon atoms. On the other hand, graphite is formed in layers and each carbon atom is bonded to only 3 other carbon atoms. This causes graphite to be soft as the layers of graphene can slide off of each other

Q

Why does graphite conduct but diamond cannot?

A

For a substance to conduct it needs to have mobile charged particles. Diamond is covalently bonded and it does not have any delocalised electrons, this means that diamond does not have any mobile charged particles and cannot conduct. Whereas graphite is formed in layers and each carbon atom is bonded to only 3 other carbon atoms. This causes there to be an extra unbonded electron, thus forming a sea of delocalised electrons. These delocalised electrons are free to move and they are charged. This means that graphite can conduct.

109
Q

Why are nanoparticles used as catalysts?

A

110
Q

What are the main risks of nanoparticles?

A

The use of nanoparticles in science is in its early stages so there are still a lot of unknown factors and potential risks. In particular there is a lack of understanding on how they may affect health, particularly in the long term. Even a small amount of toxicity in a particular nanoparticle would be multiplied due to the high surface area to volume ratio. This coupled with the fact that they are not easily disposed of by the body are a cause for caution in the medical application of nanoparticles.

Q

Which group of metal elements will have the strongest metallic bond?

A

Group 3 metals as they have the most delocalised electrons, this means that the electrostatic force between the electrons and the ions is increased.

146
Q

What is the melting/boiling point in metals?

A

high

147
Q

What is the electrical conductivity in metals?

A

good

148
Q

What is the thermal conductivity in metals?

A

good

149
Q

What is the strength of metals?

A

strong

150
Q

What is the malleability of metals?

A

good

151
Q

What is the reason for the melting/boiling point in metals?

A

They have high melting points as they have many strong metallic bonds that need to be broken for them to melt/evaporate. This means that lots of energy is required to break all these bonds

152
Q

What is the reason for the electrical conductivity in metals?

A

It has delocalised electrons that can move freely throughout the lattice structure

153
Q

What is the reason for the thermal conductivity in metals?

A

It has delocalised electrons that can move freely throughout the lattice structure

154
Q

What is the reason for the strength of metals?

A

It has many strong metallic bonds between each molecule that require a lot of energy to break

155
Q

What is the reason for the malleability of metals?

A

The movement of the lattice does not cause the molecules to repel each other.

156
Q

What is an alloy?

A

An alloy is a substance that is a mixture of different elements that contains at least 1 metal. The different sized atoms disrupt the regular arrangement of the metals

157
Q

Why are alloys more useful than the pure metal?

A

By mixing different metals you can combine their useful properties and due to atoms of different sizes it distorts the regular arrangement. By mixing metals it makes them stronger, harder and could give them more resistance to corrosion.

186
Q

What is the empirical formula?

A

a formula giving the proportions of the elements present in a compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of atoms.

187
Q

What are intramolecular forces?

A

An intramolecular force is any force that binds together the atoms making up a molecule or compound

188
Q

What is the difference between intermolecular forces and intramolecular forces

A

An intramolecular force is any force that binds together the atoms making up a molecule or compound, not to be confused with intermolecular forces, which are the forces present between molecules

189
Q

What is an ion of oxygen called?

A

Oxide

190
Q

Why is buckminsterfullerene a good lubricant?

A

In buckminsterfullerene the molecules are spherical so the molecules will roll over each other
