Chemistry 2 Flashcards
What are the three types of strong chemical bond?
Ionic, covalent, metallic.
What particles are found in:
Ionic bonding
Covalent bonding
Metallic bonding
Ionic bonding oppositely charged ions.
Covalent bonding atoms which share electrons.
Metallic bonding Atoms which share delocalised electrons.
Which type of bonds occurs when metals combine with non-metals?
Ionic.
What type of bonding occurs in carbon dioxide? Why?
Covalent; two non-metals.
What type of bonding occurs in alloys?
Metallic.
What happens to the electrons in ionic bonding?
Transferred.
What electronic structure do the ions produced by metals in Groups 1 and 2 and the non-metals in Groups 6 and 7 have?
Electronic structure of a noble gas.
What is the link between the charge number on the ions in groups 1, 2 and 3 and their group number ?
Charge number is same as Group number.
What is an ionic compound?
Giant structure of ions.
How are ionic compounds held together?
Strong electrostatic forces of attraction; between oppositely charged ions.
Why is the ball and stick model not an accurate representation of the structure of an ionic compound?
Does not accurately depict the millions of ions in the lattice. The ions should touch each other/ there are no gaps between the ions.
How are strong covalent bonds formed?
Atoms share pairs of electrons.
What are the three types of structure that can be formed by covalent bonding?
Small molecules, very large molecules, giant covalent molecules.
What are polymers an example of?
Very large molecules.
What type of structure do the following covalently bonded substances have?
Water H2O
Silicon dioxide SO2
Diamond C
Poly(ethene) .
Water H2O Small covalent.
Silicon dioxide SO2 Giant covalent.
Diamond C Giant covalent.
Poly(ethene) Very large molecule.
What are the limitations of using dot and cross diagrams to represent covalent bonds?
It shows the electrons differently, when they are the same and it does not show the bond angles or shape of the molecule.
How are atoms arranged in a metal?
Giant structures of atoms, arranged in a regular pattern, delocalised electrons.
Why are metallic bonds so strong?
Sharing of delocalised electrons.
Describe the arrangement of particles in a metal.
Atoms arranged neatly in rows; sea of delocalised electrons.
Why are the particles that make up a metal described as positively charged?
The metal atoms lose outer shell electrons and therefore there
are more protons (+) than electrons (−).
What are delocalised electrons?
They are free-moving electrons within structure; not associated with a particular atom.
What are the three states of matter?
Solid, liquid, gas.
What is used to represent particles in the simple particle model?
Small solid spheres.
What takes place at the melting point?
Melting and freezing.
What takes place at the boiling point?
Boiling and condensing.
What factor affects the amount of energy needed to change state?
Forces between molecules.
In chemical equations what symbols are used to show the states of matter?
Solid = (s); liquid = (l); gas = (g); aqueous = (aq)
In what state of matter do particles have the most energy?
Gas.
What would eventually happen to a gas if pressure is increased?
Condense into a liquid.
Explain the limitations of the particle model.
No forces, particles are shown as spheres, spheres are solid.
Describe the structure of ionic compounds.
Regular, giant ionic lattice.
Why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points?
Strong electrostatic forces of attraction between ions.
Why can ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water?
Ions are free to move, carry the charge.
What state of matter are small molecules normally found in?
Gas or liquid.
Why do small molecules have low melting and boiling points?
Weak forces between molecules/ intermolecular forces.
What happens to the melting and boiling points as small molecules get bigger? Why?
Increases, intermolecular forces get bigger.
Why don’t small molecules conduct electricity?
Do not have an overall electric charge.
