25
atoms of the same elements have the same number of .... in the nucleus and this is unique to that element
protons
26
how did mendeelev arrange elements
elements arranged with increasing atomic masses
similar properties in groups
left gaps for undiscovered elements
27
how are elements arranged in modern periodic table
in order of increasing atomic number
- similar chemical properties in groups (columns)
- the group number is the number of electrons it has in it's outer shell
(group 7 has 7 outer shells)
28
elements in the same group (column) have similar .............
chemical properties
| - same number of OUTER SHELL electrons, determines how the atom reacts
29
elements in the same period (row)
same number of electron shells
30
max number of electrons allowed in each of the first 3 shells
1st - 2
2nd - 8
3rd - 8
31
when are atoms most stable
when they have full electron shells
32
what is an ionic bond
a bond between a metal and non-metal involving the transfer of electron
33
in terms on electrons what happens to the metal and non-metal when an ionic bond forms
the metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged ion (cation)
the non metal atom gains electrons to become a negatively charged ion (anion)
34
what is an ion
an ion is an atom or group of atoms with a positive or negative charge
35
positively charged ion = loss or gain electrons
lost
36
negatively charged ion = loss or gain electrons
gain
37
why do elements in groups 1,2,6 and 7 readily form ions?
so they become more stable and achieve the electron structure of the noble gases (group 8)
38
cations
positively charged ions
39
anions
negatively charged ions
40
ions formed in group 1 and 2
1 - form +1 ions
| 2 - form +2 ions
41
ions formed in group 6 and 7
6 - 2- ions
| 7 - 1- ions
42
ionic compound that ends in -ide
compound contains 2 elements
43
ionic compound that ends in -ate
compound contains at least three elements, one of which is oxygen
44
structure of an ionic compound
- lattice structure
- regular arrangement of ions
- ions held together by strong electrostatic forces between ions and opposite charges
45
what is a covalent bond
a bond formed when an electron pair is shared between two atoms
a molecule forms as a result of covalent bonding
covalent bonds are strong
46
ionic compounds have high OR low melting points?
HIGH
strong electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions requires a lot of energy to overcome
47
simple molecular compounds have high OR LOW melting points
LOW
weak intermolecular forces = little energy to overcome
48
Giant covalent structures high OR low melting points
HIGH
| lots of strong covalent bonds which require a lot of energy to break
49
how do metals conduct electricity and heat
the positive ions are fixed in a sea of delocalised electrons. These electrons are free to move and carry charge/ energy
50
giant covalent structures formed from carbon atoms and their structure and properties
graphite
- each carbon atom bonded to 3 other carbon atoms
- layers of hexagonal rings of carbon atoms
- weak intermolecular forces between layers
- one delocalised electrons per carbon atom
- soft, slippery
- conducts electricity
- uses: electrodes, lubricant
diamond
- all carbon atom are covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms
- no delocalised electrons
- very hard
- very high melting points
- doesn't conduct electricity
- uses: cutting tools
51
what is a fullerene?
a molecule made of carbon, shaped like a closed tube or hollow ball
e.g graphene, C60 (buckminsterfullerene)
weak intermolecular forces
52
properties of buckminsterfullerene (C60)
- slippery
- low melting point
- spherical
- large surface area
- strong covalent bonds
53
properties of graphene?
- high melting point
| - conducts electricity as it has delocalised electrons
54
what is a polymer
long chain molecules formed from many monomers
55
properties of metal
- high melting point
- high density
- good conductors of electricity
- malleable and ductile
- generally shiny
56
why are metals malleable and can conduct electricity
the atoms are arranged in uniform rows which can slide over one another
the electrons in the metal are charges that can move
57
properties of non-metals
- low boiling points
- poor conductors of electricity
- brittle when solid
58
limitations of dot and cross, 2d and 3d models, ball and stick
dot and cross - no lattice structure or ionic bonds, doesn't shoe relative sizes of atoms or intermolecular forces
2D - only shows one layer, doesn't show formation of ions
3D - shows spaces between the ions, doesn't show charges
ball and stick - bonds as sticks instead of forces, doesn't show how covalent bonds form
59
calculate relative former mass of a compound
add together all the relative atomic masses of the atoms in the compound
60
cathode
negatively charged electrode - attracts to cation
61
anode
positively charged electrode - attracts to anion
62
what are simple molecular substances
made up of molecules containing a few atoms joined by covalent bonds.
- very strong covalent bonds
- forces of attraction is weak
- mp and bp are low
63
examples of simple molecular substances
hydrogen - 1 electron, simple molecular bond with another hydrogen to achieve full outer shell
water - two H atoms to from 2 single covalent bonds
oxygen - needs two more electrons to complete it's outer shell
hydrogen chloride - needs 1 more electrode
methane
- can form four covalent bonds with hydrogen atoms to fill up its outer shells
carbon dioxide - shares 2 pairs of electrons with two oxygen atoms to form two double covalent bonds
64

ionic
giant covalent
metallic
simple molecular (covalent)
65

found: in most compounds containing metal and non-metal atoms

66
simple molecular bonding models
found: in most non-metal elements and compounds
bonding; covalent bonds formed when atoms share pairs of electrons

67

found: in a few non-metal elements and compounds
bonding: covalent bonds formed when atoms share pairs of electrons
structure: billions of atoms held together in a lattice structure

68
metallic bonding model
found: in all metals
bonding: metallic bonds are the electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and negative delocalised electrons.
