Q

Collision theory

A

Reactant particles need to collide, when they collide, they need to:

27
Q

Nucleus

A
  • Centre of the atom
  • Has a positive charge
  • Contains protons and neutrons
28
Q

What are ions?

A
  • A version of an atom that becomes charged through gaining or losing electrons
  • Its goal is to have a full outer shell
29
Q

Cations

A
  • Positively charged ions (more protons than electrons)
  • Mostly metals
30
Q

Anions

A
  • Negatively charged ions (more electrons than protons)
  • Mostly non-metals
31
Q

Polyatomic ions

A

OH(-): Hydroxide
CO3(2-): Carbonate
HCO3(2-): Hydrogen carbonate

32
Q

Ionic bonding

A

The bonding between a metal and a non-metal through the transfer of electrons

33
Q

Displacement reactions

A

A displacement reaction occurs when the more reactive metal is placed into a solution with a less reactive metal

34
Q

Reactivity series of elements (from most to least)

A

Potassion, Sodium, Calcium, Lithium, Magnesium, Aluminium, Zinc, Iron, Tin, Lead, Copper, Gold

35
Q

Properties of ionic compounds

A
  • Lattice structure alternating between cations and anions
  • High melting and boiling points
  • Crystalline solids
  • Conducts electricity when in molten or aqueous state
  • Hard
  • Brittle
36
Q

What is shown by the periods on the periodic table?

A
  • Horizontal rows
  • Indicate the number of shells occupied by electrons
37
Q

What is shown by the groups on the periodic table?

A
  • Vertical columns
  • Indicate the number of valence electrons that are in the atom
38
Q

Metallic bonding

A

Bonding between metals, through electrostatic attraction between delocalised electrons and metal cations.

39
Q

Properties of metallic compounds:

A
  • Good conductors of heat and electricity
  • High melting and boiling points
  • Malleable
  • Ductile
  • High density
  • Lustrous
40
Q

Covalent bonding

A
  • Occurs between 2 non-metals
  • Electrons are ‘shared’ between atoms so they have a full outer shell
  • Can join two or more elements with covalent bonding
41
Q

Atomic number

A

Indicates the number of protons (and electrons) in an atom

42
Q

Mass number

A

Indicates the number of protons and neutrons in an atom

43
Q

Types of heat treatment of metals

A
  • Annealing
  • Quenching
  • Tempering
44
Q

Annealing

A
  • Heated until red hot, called slowly
  • Large crystals with small gaps
  • Softer, more ductile
45
Q

Quenching

A
  • Heated until red hot, cooled quickly in cold water
  • Small crystals, more gaps
  • Harder but more brittle
46
Q

Tempering

A
  • Quenched, then warmed to lower temperature, cooled slowly
  • Reduces brittleness
  • Remains hard
47
Q

Law of conservation of mass

A

Atoms cannot be created or destroyed

48
Q

Why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points?

A
  • Large amounts of energy required to break electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (strong ionic bonds)
49
Q

Why do ionic compounds have crystalline solids?

A
  • Due to their regular, repeating arrangement of ions known as an ionic lattice
50
Q

Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity when aqueous or molten?

A
  • To conduct electricity, particles muct be charged and free-moving
  • When solid, the ions are trapped in the lattice structure (not free-moving)
  • BUT in a molten or aqueous state, the positive and negative ions are free to move in a uniform way towards electricity
51
Q

Why are ionic compounds hard?

A
  • The surface of ionic compounds is not easily scratched as a strong force is needed to disrupt the ionic bonding
52
Q

Why are ionic compounds brittle?

A
  • When enough force is applied to distort the ionic lattice, ions of like charge become adjacent, repel and cause the ionic lattice to shatter
53
Q

Why are metals good conductors of electricity?

A
  • Delocalised electrons are free to move to the positive electrode
  • Are attracted due to their opposite charges
54
Q

Why are metals good conductors of heat?

A
  • Heat causes the cations and electrons to vibrate more rapidly
  • Delocalised electrons move through the lattice, passing heat on
55
Q

Why are metals malleable and ductile?

A
  • A force can push petal ions past each other as the sea of delocalised electrons holds the layers together
56
Q

Why are metals lustrous?

A
  • Delocalised electrons reflect photons of light
57
Q

Why do metals have high melting and boiling points?

A
  • Strong electrostatic bonds require large amounts of energy to break
58
Q

Why do metals have high density?

A
  • A lot of mass in a small volume
  • Cations are very close together
59
