Chapter 11 Flashcards
Allotropes
Each of two or more different physical forms in which an element can exist
intermolecular forces
A weak force of attraction between molecules, ions or atoms of noble gasses
intramolecular forces
a bond which occurs between atoms within molecules
viscosity
a measure of the ability of liquid to flow
electrolysis
chemical decomposition of a substance by passing an electric current through a liquid or solution containing ions
what 2 types of structures cab covalent bonds have? Describe them
Molecular structure:
These substances consist of molecules
Lattice structure:
• Giant structure consisting of many hundreds, thousands or millions of units linked together in a repetitive pattern
• Carbon can be graphite/ diamond depending on lattice structure
IntERmolecular forces
Between molecules -> binding them together
IntRAmolecular forces
inside molecule -> biding atoms together
Molecular vs Empirical formulae
Explain
&
Examples
• Molecular: Gives exact amount of atoms of each type of atom
C6H12O6
• Gives the simplest ratio in which atoms of molecules bind ; can be same as molecular
CH2O
Name ways of ionizing water
adding a small amount of SALT such as: • sodium sulphate • copper chloride • few drops of sulfuric acid
electrode
conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an object
why can’t the electrodes touch?
current will flow directly from one electrode to the other and bot go through the liquid
the results = no electrolysis of liquid and potentially damages the power supply
electrolyte
a substance that can conduct electricity by forming free ions when molten or dissolved in a solution
