Q

What happens to the molecules in a solid as it gets hotter

A

They vibrate faster

17
Q

How do metal atoms form ions

A

They lose electrons to form positive ions

18
Q

What does negative ions have

A

More electrons than protons

19
Q

What forces hold an ionic lattice together

A

Electrostatic forces

20
Q

What properties does an ionic compound have

A

High melting point and it conducts electricity when liquid

21
Q

What is a covalent bond

A

A bond formed when two atoms share pairs of electrons

22
Q

What is the greatest number of covalent bonds that are carbon atom can form

23
Q

How many electrons can share in a double bond

A

Four electrons

24
Q

When a substance made of small molecules boils what does the energy overcome

A

It overcomes inter-molecular forces. The strong con spent bonds are not broken

25
Why do substances made of small molecules not conduct electricity
Because they have no charge particles that are free to move from place to place
26
What is a triple bond
Three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms
27
What substance has a giant Covalent structure
Silicone dioxide
28
What type of bond joins the atoms together in a Polymer molecule
Covalent bonds
29
Why does diamond have a high melting
Because of the large amounts of energy that is needed to break it strong covalent bonds
30
How are particles bonded together in metals
Attractive forces between atoms and delocalised electrons
31
Why are electrons in the outer shell of metal atoms free to move through the whole structure
They are delocalised electrons
32
Which part of metal is most important in transferring thermal energy
Delocalised electrons
33
How are atoms arranged in metals
Layers
34
How do metals have high melting points
They have strong metallic bonds
35
Why can metals be bent and shaped
The atoms are arranged in layers which slide over each other
36
What is the main energy transfer for an apple falling from a tree
Gravitational potential to kinetic energy
37
What is the main energy transfer for long distance runner
Chemical energy into kinetic energy
38
What happens to dissipated energy
It’s lost in the surroundings
