A

no its useless

86
Q

what are the three neutral oxides

A

87
Q

what is ionic bonding

A

transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-metal. they create strong electrostatic forces of attraction between positive and negative ions in ionic compounds.

88
Q

structure of ionic compounds

A

arranged in giant ionic lattice structures.

89
Q

why ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points

A

Large amount of energy is needed to overcome the strong electrostatic forces of attraction (strong ionic bonds) between oppositely charged ions.

90
Q

why solid ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity

A

There is an absence of mobile ions in the solid state. Hence, ionic compounds are not able to conduct electricity.

91
Q

why molten and aqueous ionic compounds can conduct electricity

A

There is the presence of mobile ions in the molten and aqueous states enable ionic compounds to conduct electricity in these states.

92
Q

why is ionic compounds hard yet brittle

A

A large amount of energy is required to overcome the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions (strong ionic bonds) in the giant ionic lattice structure. Hence, ionic compounds are strong.
When a force is exerted, ions of the same charge are forced next to one another. These ions repel one another, causing the ionic lattice structure to break and be brittle.

93
Q

can ionic compounds dissolve in organic solvents

A

no

93
Q

can ionic compounds dissolve in water

A

yes

94
Q

what can covalent substance exist as

A

simple molecular structures

95
Q

why is covalent substances melting and boiling points so low

A

A small amount of energy is required to overcome the weak intermolecular forces of attraction.

96
Q

can covalent substance dissolve in water

A

no

97
Q

can covalent substance dissolve in organic solvent

A

yes

98
Q

why does covalent substance don’t conduct electricity in all states

A

There is an absence of mobile charge carriers to conduct electricity.

99
Q

what are alloys

A

mixture of metals

100
Q

what is the arrangement of a metal

A

Atoms in a metal are all of the same size.
Hence, copper atoms are regularly arranged.

101
Q

what is the arrangement of alloys

A

Atoms of the elements in an alloy are of a different size. Hence, the regular arrangement of copper atoms in pure copper metal is disrupted by the randomly distributed tin atoms in bronze. This leads to an irregular arrangement of atoms in an alloy.

102
Q

what is malleability

A

the ability of substances to be bent/ flattened into different shapes without breaking

103
Q

what is ductility

A

the ability of a substance being pulled into wires without breaking.

104
Q

what is the strength of metal

A

In a metal, the regularly arranged metal atoms are of the same size. When enough force is applied, the metal atoms can slide over one another easily. Hence, metals are malleable and ductile.

105
Q

what is the strength of alloy

A

In an alloy, the irregularly arranged atoms are of different sizes. The atoms are not able to slide over one another easily. Alloys are harder and stronger than the pure metals that they are made from.

106
Q

why metal has high fixed m/b points

A

as copper is pure

107
Q

why alloys have a range of m/b points

A

as bronze is a mixture

108
Q

why both metal and alloys are good at conducting electricity and heat

A

Both have free-moving/ delocalised valence electrons from the metal atoms that can act as charge carriers or assist in the transfer of
thermal energy.

109
Q

what is element

A

a pure substance that cannot be broken down into two or more simpler substances by chemical methods. fixed melting and boiling points

110
Q

what is compound

A

a pure substance containing two or more elements that are chemically combined in a fixed ratio. can be separated into its constituents by chemical methods (e.g., thermal decomposition, electrolysis). has different properties from its constituent elements. fixed melting and boiling points

111
Q

what is mixture

A

consists of elements and/or compounds that are physically combined in varying ratios. can be separated into its constituents by physical methods (e.g., filtration, chromatography, distillation). usually has similar properties to its constituent elements. melts and boils over a range of temperatures
