Q

i.e. Ionic bonding

What happens when a metal atom reacts with a non-metal atom?

A

The electrons in the outer shell of the metal atom are transferred.

Metal atoms lose electrons to become positively charged ions.

Non-metal atoms gain electrons to become negatively charged ions

Q

How can the electron transfer during the formation of an ionic compound be represented?

A

by a dot and cross diagram

note, in this diagram, you can draw a circle (resembling a shell) around the symbol

Q

What are ionic compounds held together by?

A

strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions

these forces act in all directions in the lattice

Q

What is the relation in number of ions in NaCl?

A

The number of Na ions and Cl ions are equal

17
Q

What is the limitation of the dot-and-cross model to show giant ionic lattices?

A

only 2D

Does not show the shape

Does not show how ions are arranged in space (e.g. suggests NaCl is made up of pairs of sodium and chlorine ions, it is not)

18
Q

What is the limitation of the ball and stick model to show giant ionic lattices?

A
  • suggests there are gaps between ions when there is not
  • suggests atoms are solid inelastic spheres - they are mostly made up of of empty space
  • using sticks for bonds is misleading because the forces of attraction between ions actually act in all directions
  • relative size of ions compared to each other is not to scale
19
Q

What is the limitation of the 2D space-filling model to show giant ionic lattices?

A

shows the arrangement in one layer only, not the next

20
Q

What is the limitation of the 3D space-filling model to show giant ionic lattices?

A
  • ions are not solid spheres
  • difficult to see 3D arrangement clearly
21
Q

What are covalent bonds?

A

when atoms share pairs of electrons

22
Q

What are the bonds between atoms in covalent bonds like? (within the molecules themselves)

A

They are strong

23
Q

What are the two types of covalently bonded substances?

A

small (simple) molecules or giant covalent structures

24
Q

What is a common example of a covalently bonded substance that has very large molecules?

A

Polymers

25
Q

3 needed

What are examples of covalently bonded substances that have giant covalent structures?

A

diamond, graphite (allotropes of carbon) and silicon dioxide (silica)

26
Q

4 ways

How can covalent bonds in molecules and giant structures can be represented? (excluding polymers)

A

note where shared electrons are situated in teh dot and cross diagram

27
Q

How can polymers be represented?

A
28
Q

4 points

Describe the structure of metals

A
  • giant structures of atoms arranged in a regular pattern
  • layers of atoms
  • lattice of positive ions
  • with a sea of delocalised electrons
  • (strong) electrostatic forces of attraction between positive ions and electrons
29
Q

How would you describe the electrons in the outer shell of metal atoms? What does this allow?

A

delocalised

and so are free to move through the whole structure

30
Q

What does the sharing of delocalised electrons in metallic bonds cause?

A

strong metallic bonds

31
Q

2 forms

What are the forms that metallic bonds may be represented in?

A
32
Q

How do covalent bonds hold two atoms together?

A

electrostatic force of attraction between shared pair of negatively charged electrons and both positively charged nuclei

33
Q

Why can metals be bent and shaped?

A

They consist of layers, which slide over eachother

34
Q

Why should a reaction where halogen gases are given out be doe in a fume cupboard?

A

Halogen gases are toxic

35
Q

2 needed

What is a limitation of the dot and cross diagram to represent a simple molecule?

A

does not show shape of molecule

only 2D

36
Q

Why does ammonia have a low melting point?

A

Ammonia is a simple molecule/has small molecules

with weak intermolecular forces

it take little energy to overcome these intermolecular forces

37
Q

2 marks

Why may corrosion reduce the electrical conductivity of a metal?

A

Metal oxide formed

ions are not free to move or electrons cannot move through the structure

I assume this is the same for alloys

38
Q

What happens when two atoms of potassium react with one atom of sulfur? (give answer in terms of electron transfer and state ions formed)

A

electrons transferred from potassium to sulfur

two potassium atoms each lose one electron

forming K+ ions

sulfur atoms gain 2 electrons

forming S2- ions

39
Q

What are the 2 limitations of the simple model?

A

It is only 2D
