20
Q

What is a covalent bond

A

An inter-molecular force of attraction that holds the two atoms together and allows them to share a pair of electrons

2 or more non metals

21
Q

Molecule

A

Two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds

22
Q

Diatomic

A

Molecules that contain two atoms

23
Q

What is a covalent compound

A

A compound formed by atoms of different elements sharing electrons

24
Q

Methanol

25
Q

Ethene

26
Q

Properties of ionic compounds

A

Soluble in water
Can conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water
High melting and boiling points

27
Q

Properties of covalent compounds

A

Lowing melting and boiling points
Insoluble in water
Don’t conduct electricity

28
Q

Allotropes

A

Two forms of the same element

29
Q

Structure of metals

A

Lattice of tightly packed positive ions and a sea of delocalized electrons that move freely

30
Q

Metallic bonds

A

Electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and a sea of delocalised electrons

31
Q

Physical properties of metals

A

High melting point
Malleable and Ductile
Good conductors of heat
Good conductors of electricity

32
Q

Best conductor of electricity:

33
Q

Delocalised electrons

A

Electrons that move freely in the metal lattice and aren’t tied to any one ion

34
Q

What is a single covalent bond

A

A single covalent bond is formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons which leads to a full outer shell s

35
Q

what does the nucleus of a hydrogen atom contain

A

only protons

36
Q

Describe the giant covalent structure of diamond

A

Each carbon bonds to 4 other carbon atoms and forms a tetrahedral structure

37
Q

What are the properties of diamond

A

Very hard - each atom held by 4 strong covalent bonds

high melting point

Does not conduct electricity - no free ions or electrons to carry charge

38
Q

Describe the structure of Silicon (IV) oxide and the chemical formula

A

SiO2

Each silicon atom bonds with 4 oxygen atom. Each oxygen atom bonds with 2 silicon atoms.

39
Q

properties of silicon (IV) oxide

A

Similar to diamond because it has a similar tetrahedral structure

40
Q

Describe the bonding in graphite

A

Each carbon atom bonds with 3 other carbon atoms. Forms hexagonal rings that form flat sheets. Weak forces lie between the millions of sheets

41
Q

Properties of graphite

A

Soft and slippery - sheets slide over each other easily

Good conductor of electricity - Each carbon atom has 4 valence eletrons, but only 3 are used in bonding. 1 electron from each carbon atom free to move around graphite and conduct electricity

42
Q

Use of diamond, graphite and silicon (IV) oxide

A

Diamond - tools for drilling and cutting

Graphite - Lubricant for engines
electrodes (electrolysis)

Silicon (IV) oxide - Sand paper, bricks for lining furnaces

43
Q

Why is the melting point of an ionic compound > covalent compound

A

Ionic bonds have strong electrostatic force of attraction between ions whereas covalent bonds are have intermolecular forces of attraction.

Requires more energy to overcome electrostatic forces of attraction

44
Q

Name a covalent compound with a higher melting point than most ionic compounds

A

Silicon (IV) oxide
Diamond
