18
Q

Ionic compounds are also known as?

A

Giant Ionic Structures/ Giant lattice structure/ Crystal Lattice

19
Q

Giant Ionic Structures consist of?

A

Consist of an endlessly repeating three-dimensional
lattice of positive and negative ions,
Ions are closely packed, arranged in an orderly manner and held in place by ionic bonds

20
Q

Covalent bonds are formed between?

A

Non-metals

21
Q

What is a molecule

A

It is when a group of two or more atoms are held together by covalent bonds.

22
Q

In terms of covalent bonding, what does N-N mean?

A

N shares 1 electron with another N

23
Q

In terms of covalent bonding, what does O=O mean?

A

O shares 2 electrons with another O

24
Q

What are the types of covalent bonding

A

Simple Covalent Structure

Giant Covalent Structure

25
Q

What are the properties of a simple covalent structure?

A

They have low bpt/mpt/gas at rtp because of weak intermolecular FOA between the molecules. Hence little energy is needed to overcome attractive forces.

Cannot conduct electricity because there are no mobile electrons.

Simple molecular structures are insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents.

26
Q

What are examples of a Giant covalent structure?

A

Diamond/graphite/Si/SiO2/SiC

27
Q

What are the properties of a Giant covalent structure?

A

They have high bpt/mpt/gas at rtp because of strong intermolecular FOA between the molecules. Hence a lot of energy is needed to overcome attractive forces.

28
Q

Properties of Diamond/SiO2

A

Cannot conduct electricity as there are no mobile electrons.

They are hard due to strong covalent bonds between atoms.

29
Q

Properties of Graphite

A

Can conduct electricity because of mobile electrons. Since each carbon atom has 4 valence electrons but only 3 are used for bonding with each carbon atom.

Graphite is soft because of weak forces of attraction between layers of carbon atoms that can slide.

30
Q

What are allotropes?

A

alternate forms of an element

31
Q

Properties of a metallic structure?

A

They have high bpt/mpt/gas at rtp because of the strong electrostatic FOA between the positive metal ions and the sea of delocalised electrons. Hence a lot of energy is needed to overcome attractive forces.

Can conduct electricity in solid and molten states due to sea of delocalised electrons

Good conductors of heat. Movement of mobile electrons within the metal lattice allows heat energy to be easily transferred

high density structure

Malleable as atoms are able to slide over the sea of delocalised electrons

ductile
