Q

What are the limitations of the following diagrams to represent ionic structures?

  • Dot and Cross
  • Ball and Stick
A
  • Dot and cross: Doesn’t show the structure of the ionic compound, the size or arrangement of ions.
  • Ball and stick: Suggests gap between ions which aren’t in fact there.

Q

Use the diagram to work out the empirical formula of the sodium chloride.

*this is just an example, you should be able to do this when given a diagram of any ionic compound.

A

By looking at the ratio of ions in the compound:

• Ratio of ions in compound 1:1

Or, to calculate using charges on ions

  • Charge on sodium ion +
  • Charge on chloride ion –

A

a) Melting
b) Freezing
c) Boiling
d) Condensing

26
Q

Draw a particle model to represent the following states:

a) Solid
b) Liquid
c) Gas

A
27
Q

What is the relationship between the forces between particles and a substance’s melting and boiling points?

A

The stronger the forces between particles, the higher the melting and boiling points (or vice versa)

28
Q

Higher Q. What are the limitations of using the particle models below to represent solids, liquids and gases?

A
  • No forces between the particles are shown in the diagram
  • All particles are represented by spheres
  • All the spheres are solid and inelastic
29
Q

What do the following state symbols represent?

a) s
b) l
c) g
d) aq

A

a) Solid
b) Liquid
c) Gas
d) Aqueous

30
Q

Why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points?

A

Because a lot of energy is needed to break the many strong bonds.

31
Q

Why do molten or aqueous solutions of ionic compounds conduct electricity?

A

Ions are free to move so charge can flow

32
Q

Why do small molecules usually have relatively low melting and boiling points?

A
  • They have weak forces between molecules (intermolecular forces)
  • It is the intermolecular forces that are overcome, not the covalent bonds, when the substance boils.
33
Q

What happens to the size of intermolecular forces as the size of molecules increase?

A

The size of intermolecular forces increase (hence higher melting and boiling points for larger molecules)

34
Q

Can molecules conduct electricity? Give a reason for your answer.

A

No, because they have no overall electric charge.

35
Q

What state are most polymers at room temperature? Why?

A
  • Solid
  • Because they are large molecules, with strong intermolecular forces, hence relatively high melting and boiling points (compared with small molecules).
36
Q

What bonds must be overcome in order to melt or boil giant covalent structures?

A

The strong covalent bonds between the atoms

37
Q

Name the structures represented by the diagrams below:

A

a) diamond
b) graphite
c) silicon dioxide (silica)

38
Q

Diamond and graphite are made out of a single element. Name this element.

A

Carbon

39
Q

Do metals have high or low melting points and boiling points?

A

High melting and boiling points

40
Q

Describe how the arrangement of atoms makes pure metals soft.

A
  • Atoms arranged in layers
  • Layers slide easily over each other
41
Q

Describe how the arrangement of atoms in an alloy makes alloys harder than pure metal.

A
  • Different sized atoms
  • Layers distorted
  • Atoms can’t easily slide over each other
42
Q

Why are metals good conductors of heat and electricity?

A

They have delocalised electrons that can carry the charge (in terms of conducting electricity) or transfer energy (in terms of conducting heat)

43
Q

Describe the structure and bonding of Diamond.

A
  • Giant Covalent Structure
  • Each carbon forms four covalent bonds with other carbon atoms
44

47
Q

Q. What is the chemical formula of Buckminsterfullerene?

Q. What element are all fullerenes made from?

Q. Describe the structure of fullerenes.

A

48
Q

What are cylindrical fullerenes called and why are they useful?

A
  • Nanotubes
  • They have a high length to diameter ratio making them useful for nanotechnology, electronics and materials.
