Q

What are ionic compounds held together by?

A

They are held together by strong forces of attraction between their oppositely charged ions. This is called ionic bonding.

Q

Name 3 properties of ionic compounds

A

They have high melting and boiling points due to the many strong electrostatic attractions.
When ionic compounds are solid they are held in place and don’t conduct electricity when they are melted they are able to conduct electricity because the atoms are free moving.
Ionic compounds dissolve easily in water. When dissolved they conduct electricity

Q

Describe the simple molecular bond of hydrogen

A

Hydrogen atoms have just one shell they only need one more to complete the first shell. The covenant bond consists of two hydrogen atoms

Q

Describe the simple molecular bond of chlorine

A

Each chlorine atom only needs one more electron to complete the outer shell. So two chlorine atoms form a single covenant bond

Q

Describe the simple molecular bond of oxygen

A

Only needs two more electrons.

Q

Describe the simple molecular bond of nitrogen

A

Nitrogen atoms need three more electrons.

So two nitrogen atoms share three pairs of electrons, it creates a triple bond

19
Q

Describe the simple molecular bond of methane

A

It forms 4 covenant bonds with hydrogen

20
Q

Describe the simple molecular bond of water

A

In water molecules the oxygen forms two covenant bonds with hydrogen forming two single covalent bonds

21
Q

Is the melting point high or low of simple molecular substances

A

It’s low because the forces between the molecules is weak not the force between the atoms

22
Q

Do molecular compounds conduct electricity, why?

A

They don’t because they aren’t charged

23
Q

What state are most molecular substances at room temperature?

A

Most are either liquid or gas

24
Q

Why is a polymer?

A

It’s lots of small units that are linked together to form a long molecule that has repeating sections. All of the atoms in a polymer are joined by covenant bonds .

25
What state are polymers at room temperature?
They have strong molecular bonds so most are solid.
26
Describe the melting and boiling points of polymers
The bonds are still weaker than ionic and giant molecular compounds so they have a lower boiling point then them
27
Give 3 properties of giant covenant structures
All the atoms are bonded to each other by strong covenant bonds. They have high melting and boiling points. They don't contain charged particles so they don't conduct electricity
28
Describe the structure of a diamond giant structure
Each carbon atom forms 4 covenant bonds in a very rigid giant covalent structure. It has a very high melting point. It doesn't conduct electricity because it has no free electrons or ions
29
Describe the structure of a graphite giant structure
Each carbon atom forms thee covenant bonds to create layers of hexagons. Each carbon atom also has one delocalised electron. There is no strong bonds between the layers of hexagons so they slide over each other. It has got a high melting point. It is an exception and conducts thermal and electrical energy
30
Describe what silicon dioxide is
It is sand and Is made up of silicon and oxygen
31
What is graphene?
Graphene is a sheet of carbon dioxide joined together in hexagons the sheet is just one atom thick. The multiple connections make it very strong. It's also incredibly light so can be added to materials to improve their strength. It can conduct electricity
32
Why can graphite conduct electricity?
Because only three out of carbons 4 outer electrons are used in bonds so each carbon atom has one electron that is delocalised .
33
What are fullerenes?
Fullerenes are molecules of carbon shaped like closed tubes or hollow balls.
34
Describe a fullerene
They're mainly made up of carbon atoms arranged in hexagons but can contain pentagons and heptagons. Fullerenes can be used to cage and hold other molecules Fullerenes have a huge surface area
35
Give three uses of fullerenes
They can be used to deliver drugs into the body via encasing the drug. They can form nanotubes They make great lubricants
36
What are nanotubes?
Fullerenes from nanotubes, tiny carbon cylinders. The ratio between the length and the diameter is high. They can conduct both electrical and thermal energy. They have a high tensile strength. They are used because they are strong but very light
37
What is the buckminsterfullerene?
It is the first fullerene to be discovered the formula is C60 and forms a hollow there
38
What are delocalised electrons?
The electrons in the outer shell of the metal atom are delocalised there are strong connections between the positive metal ions and the shared negative electrons
39
Describe the melting point of metals metallically bonded
The forces between the metal atoms and the delocalised sea of electrons are very strong and are hard to break. It means most compounds with metallic bonds have very high melting points and are generally solid at room temperature.
40
Are metals good conductors of energy? Why?
Yes they conduct electricity well because of the delocalised electrons carrying the current throughout the whole structure
41
Are metals malleable?why?
They are because the layers of atoms slide over each other, it means they can be shaped relatively easily
42
Are alloys malleable?why?
They aren't because the introduction of a different metal obstructs the regular and uniform formation of atoms in a metal and means that the atoms cannot slide over each other very well
43
What are alloys?
They are metals that have been combined with other metals or elements to create stronger metals, they are harder and are therefore more useful than regular metals
44
4 key words to remember when describing a change of state
Melting Boiling Freezing Condensing
