Chemistry-C4 Flashcards
H2 or H3 means they are what?
Molecules
A what is + or - charged
Ion
No charge means that they are
An atom
What does an atom need to be stable?
A full shell
Metals are positive, they what?
Loose electrons
Non-metals are negative, they what?
Gain electrons
Ionic bonding is between what?
Metals and metals
Non metals and non metals
Metals and non metals
Non metals and metals
Ionic compound facts
Solid at room temp - form crystals
High melting and boiling points
Dissolve to for solutions that conduct electricity
Conduct electricity when molten
Daltons theory
Atoms were tiny round balls
All the same
If the same elements they were attached via hooks
Thompsons theory
Discovered electrons and their negative charge
Realised atoms weren’t the smallest thing
If atoms are neutral and electrons are negative there had to be something positive
Rutherfords theory
Proved that atoms were not solid they were ‘empty space’
Bohrs theory
Theory that atoms were on fixed orbits
What is covalent bonding?
When atoms join together to share electrons - creates a strong bond
If atoms share 1 electron what is the bond called?
Single
If atoms share 2 electrons what is the bond called
Double
If atoms share 3 electrons what is the bond called
Triple
Properties of molecular solids
Brittle Don't conduct electricity Insoluable in water Soluable in petrol Low melting and boiling points
Properties of alkali metals (group 1)
Stored in oil because they will react with oxygen of moisture in the air
Less dense than water
Cut easily
Reactivity increases as you go down the group
What is the equation for alkali metals and water?
Alkali metal + water -> metal hydroxide + hydrogen
What is the symbol equation for alkali metals and water?
Metal (lithium - Li) + H2O -> LiOH + H2
Describe what happens in flame tests
- Heat up loop and burn any unwanted dust
- Dip into hydrochloric acid
- Dip into alkali compound solid
- Hold in flame and identify ions
In flame tests what colour is lithium?
Red
In flame tests what colour is sodium
Orange/yellow
In flame tests what colour is potassium
Lilac
