23
Q

What happens to a MARSHMALLOW in a VACUUM?

A

25
Q

What BONDS are ATOMS in MOLECULES always joined by?

A

Covalent bonds

26
Q

How STRONG are the INTERMOLECULAR FORCES between the atoms?

A

WEAK

27
Q

What are the PROPERTIES of MOLECULES joined by COVALENT BONDS?

A
They tend to:
     Have low boiling points 
     Have low melting points
     Be poor electrical conductors
     Be poor thermal conductors
28
Q

How are MOLECULES FORMED?

A

I can do that. I think that is a good thing to say about the people. Hi honey I’m on google right now but I’ll call when I’m ready for a walk in the lesson I will be in. Hi there I can send you a text if you want to join us for dinner and then we can go to the beach with the kids for dinner tonight at the same place I know that you can come over anytime. Hi there is your email address for the next door 🚪

29
Q

A

Non-metals

30
Q

Define COVALENT BONDING

A

Covalent bonding - when atoms share the electrons in their outer shells

31
Q

How STRONG is the BONDING between COVALENT BONDS?

A

Strong

32
Q

Define MOLECULE

A

Molecule - tow or more atoms joined through covalent bonds

33
Q

What are MOLECULES containing TWO ATOMS called?

A

Diatomic

34
Q

Name the BONDS that 3 ATOMIC GROUPS will form

A

Group 7 atoms will form single bonds.

36
Q

Define CHANGE OF STATE

A

Change of state - when a substance is heated or cooled, which causes the particles to move faster or slower and take a different arrangement in space
