56
Q

Why do larger molecules have higher melting and boiling points?

A

Because intermolecular forces increase with the size of the molecules.

57
Q

Why can’t simple molecules conduct electricity

A Giant metallic structure

82
Q

In giant metallic structures the atoms are arranged closely in packed layers this allows them to do what?

A

It allows the atoms to slide over one and other easily

The positive ions in a metlas giant structure are binded together by______

A

A sea of delocaslised electrons

( they act almost like a glue- the negatively charged between the positively charged ions hold the the metal ion in position by electrostatic forces of attraction.)

85

Yes

86
Q

Are alloys harder than pure metals if so why?

Delocalised elelctrons

88
Q

What group tend to become stable by sharing electeons(covalent bonding)

A

Group 4

89
Q

How do you know if a compound is covalent or ionic?

A

ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal, and a covalent bond is between 2 nonmetals.

Q

What is the line that represents covalent bonding in 2 florine atoms?

A

F-F

91
Q

how do you know if something is a giant covalent structure, a giant ionic structure or a simple molecule?

A

If it is a gas, liquid or low melting point solid then you are talking about a simple molecular substance. … If it is a high melting point solid, it will be a giant structure - either ionic, metallic or giant covalent

92
Q

What are giant metallic structures?

A

Metals are giant structures with metal ions arranged in a regular, repeating lattice with layers of metal ions.
