Q

Describe a simple molecular bond

A

The atoms form very strong covalent bonds but there are weak intermolecular forces of attraction between the particles

  • low melting and boiling points as less energy is required to break the bonds therefore they are easily oarted
  • gases and liquids at room temperature
  • do not conduct electricity as there are no ions therefore no electrical charge

Q

Describe a giant covalent structure

A
  • no charged ions but other then that it is similar to a giant ionic structure
  • they are bonded to each other by strong covalent bonds so therefore they have high melting and boiling points so a lot of energy is needed to break them apart
  • do not conduct electricity even when molten

Q

Describe graphite

A
  • giant covalent

Q

Describe a metallic structure

A
  • giant structure
  • has free electrons which come from the other shell of every metal atom in the the structure this can make it transfer energy
  • strong electrostatic attraction between the positive metal ions and negative electrons
  • layers so the my can slide and be bent and shaped

Q

Descrie an alloy

A
  • harder than pure metals
  • different elements have different sized atoms this means it will have distorted layers and irregular layers so they can no longer slide over one another making them harder

Q

What are shape memory alloys used in?

A
  • braces
  • glasses frames
  • broken bones - they cool the alloy then put it around the bone, then when the alloy is heated it goes back to its original shape and pulls the bone with it

Q

Describe thermosoftening polymers

A
  • weak forces and have individual chains of polymers, these are held together by weak intermolecular forces, therefore they are free to slide over one another
  • easy to melt and remould

Q

Describe thermosetting polymers

A
  • strong forces due to the strong intermolecular forces with crosslinks that hold the chain firmly in place
  • solid structure and doesn’t soften when heated therefore they are strong hard and rigid

Q

What effects a polymers properties?

A

The temperature and pressure you make it at

  • low density - high temperatures and pressures, these are flexible so they can be used for bags and bottles
  • high density - low temperatures and pressures but with a catalyst to speed up the reaction, these are more rigid so are used for water tanks and drainpipes

Q

What is nano science?

A

The study of very tiny particles and structures

18
Q

What is a fullerene?

A

Molecules of carbon shaped like a hollow ball or tube

- used to reinforce graphite in a tennis racket

19
Q

What can nano science be used for?

A
  • stronger, lighter building materials
  • conduct electricity so electrical circuits and computer chips
  • nano medicine - fullerenes are absorbed by the body easily so can go to cells where they are needed
  • cosmetics - sun cream and deodorant
20
Q

What is a problem with nanoparticles?

A

Due to the large surface area, if they are exposed to a spark they can explode

21
Q

Whats a property of nanoparticles?

A

Large surface area to volume ratio

22
Q

What is the relative mass of an proton, neutron and electron?

A

1, 1 , o or very little

23
Q

What is an isotope?

A

Atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons

24
Q

Do isotopes always have the same atomic number or mass number?

A

Atomic number

- they have a different mass number

25
Q

Are all isotopes radioactive?

A

Sometimes, but not all this is because they have extra neutrons which make the nucleus unstable and radioactive

26
Q

What are the properties of an isotope?

A

Physical properties - different - they have different densities and may not be radioactive
Chemical properties - the same - as they will always have the same number of electrons

27
Q

What is the relative atomic mass?

A

The average mass of the atoms of an element compared with carbon -12

28
Q

What is the relative formula mass?

A

The relative atomic masses added together

29
Q

What is a mole equal to?

A

1 mole is equal to its relative formula mass in grams

30
Q

How do you work out the number of moles?

A

Number of moles= mass (g) / relative formula mass

31
Q

How do calculate the percentage mass of an element in a compound?

A

Percentage mass of an element in a compound = relative formula mass x number of atoms of that element / relative formula mass of the whole compound

32
Q

Revise empirical formula

A

Revise empirical formula a

33
Q

How do you calculate a mass of an element in a compound?

A
  1. Work out balanced equation
  2. Work out relative formula mass
  3. Divide to get 1 than multiply to get all of them
34
Q

How do you work out the percentage yield?

A

Percentage yield = actual yield/ predicted yield x 100%

35
Q

Why is the yield always less than 100%?

A
  1. The reaction is reversible, this means that the reactants will all never completely be turned into products as the reaction goes both ways. Some of the products are alway reacting together to change back to the original reactants this will mean a lower yield is created
  2. Filtering, when you filter to remove some of the solid particles you will always lose some liquid or solid
  3. Not going to plan, an unexpected reaction may use up some of the reactants so there is not as much
36
Q

Why is the percentage yield important for sustained development?

A

So we don’t use resources faster than they need to be used so theres enough for future generations e.g using little energy possible to produce the highest yield

37
Q

How do work out the different colourings in food colourings?

A
  1. Extract colour form food sample and put it in a small cup with a few drops of solvent
  2. Put the spots of the coloured solution on the pencil baseline - pen will dissolve in the water and run this will ruin the experiment
  3. Roll up the sheet and put it in the beaker with some solvent, keep the baseline above the solvent
  4. As the solvent sweeps upwards the colourings move up the paper
    - 4 dots does not mean 4 colourings two might be in the same place
38
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages of machines for substances?

A 
\+ sensitive
\+ fast 
\+ accurate
- special training
- expensive
- results that are given have to be compared
39
Q

How does gas chromatography work?

A
  1. Mixture is vaporised
  2. Then a carrier gas moves the vaporised gas through a coil
  3. The vaporised compounds have different attractions, the bigger there attractions the longer the retention time
  4. The recorder then draws a gas chromatography graph, the number of differ et peaks show the number of different compounds
40
Q

On a gas chromatography what does the position of a peak show?

A

The retention time

41
Q

What does gas chromatography do?

A

Separates a mixture of compounds

42
Q

What does the mass spectrometer do?

A

It identifies the substances leaving the column accurately and the molecular ion peak (its always the last one)
