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

A

For

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
Q

Why do substances made of small molecules not conduct electricity

A

Because they have no charge particles that are free to move from place to place

26
Q

What is a triple bond

A

Three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms

27
Q

What substance has a giant Covalent structure

A

Silicone dioxide

28
Q

What type of bond joins the atoms together in a Polymer molecule

A

Covalent bonds

29
Q

Why does diamond have a high melting

A

Because of the large amounts of energy that is needed to break it strong covalent bonds

30
Q

How are particles bonded together in metals

A

Attractive forces between atoms and delocalised electrons

31
Q

Why are electrons in the outer shell of metal atoms free to move through the whole structure

A

They are delocalised electrons

32
Q

Which part of metal is most important in transferring thermal energy

A

Delocalised electrons

33
Q

How are atoms arranged in metals

A

Layers

34
Q

How do metals have high melting points

A

They have strong metallic bonds

35
Q

Why can metals be bent and shaped

A

The atoms are arranged in layers which slide over each other

36

Gravitational potential to kinetic energy

37
Q

What is the main energy transfer for long distance runner

A

Chemical energy into kinetic energy

38
Q

What happens to dissipated energy

A

It’s lost in the surroundings
