Q

what is water of crystallisation

A
  • the molecules of water fitted within some crystals of ionic lattices in a regular manner
  • this means that the crystals are hydrated
  • when they are heated, the water is removed as steam and the solid is anhydrous

Q

describe ionic bonding

A
  • occurs when a metal reacts with a non metal
  • electrons are transferred from the metal atom to the non metal, giving them a stable electronic structure
  • hold together by their opposite charges in an electrostatic bond

Q

how do you identify lead and sulphate ions

A

- add potassium iodide
- lead iodide formed
- bright yellow precipitate formed
SULPHATE
- add barium chloride
- barium sulphate formed
- white precipitate

17
Q

how do you identify chloride, bromide and iodide ions

A
  • add silver nitrate
  • CHLORIDE, silver chloride, white precipitate
  • BROMIDE, silver bromide, cream precipitate
  • IODIDE, silver iodide, pale yellow precipitate
18
Q

describe the structure and properties of ionic structures

A
  • typically solids at room temperature and pressure
  • they have lattice structures consisting of repeating positive and negative ions in all three dimensions
  • so they form regularly shaped crystals
19
Q

why can molten ionic compounds conduct electricity

A
  • once melted, the ions in ionic compounds are free to move around
20
Q

what is large ionic bonding

A
  • the electrostatic attractions of oppositely charged ions over comes any repulsion between ions of the same charge, holding together the lattice structure
21
Q

describe the structure and bonding of a metal, and how it affects its properties

A
  • they have a lattice structure
  • metals appear in a giant lattice structure of metal cations in a sea of delocalised electrons
  • electrons are free to move
  • structure is held together by the attraction of metal cations and delocalised electrons
22
Q

describe the properties and structure of covalent networks

A
  • large covalently bonded networks
  • they have strong covalent bonds between the atoms
  • very high melting and boiling points
  • insoluble in water and do not conduct electricity
