Q

Why do compounds with giant ionic lattices have high melting and boiling
points

A
  • ions are held together in a closely packed 3D lattice arrangement by the attraction between oppositely charged ions
  • the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions is very strong
  • as a result of this a lot of energy is needed to overcome the strong attraction
  • hence why ionic compounds have high melting and boiling point

Q

Why are substances with a simple molecular structure gases or liquids, or
solids with low melting and boiling points

A
  • atoms within a molecule are held together by very strong covalent bonds
  • the molecular forces of attraction between the molecules are very weak
  • therefore the melting and boiling point for simple molecular substances are very low as the molecules are easily separated

Q

explain why the melting and boiling points of substances with simple molecular
structures increase, in general, with increasing relative molecular mass

A
  • intermolecular forces are stronger between molecules with high relative molecular mass (Mr) than between smaller molecules
  • as there are more points along larger molecules for intermolecular forces to act between them
  • so more energy is needed to break the forces
  • due to increasing strength of the forces, melting and boiling pints of simple molecular substances increase as the relative molecular mass increases

Q

explain why substances with giant covalent structures are solids with high melting and
boiling points

A
  • giant covalent structures bonded to each other by strong covalent bonds
  • there are lots of these bonds so it takes a lot of energy to break them
  • hence why giant covalent structures are solids with high melting and boiling points

Q

Why does diamond have a high melting and boiling point

A
  • diamond is made up of a network of carbon atoms that each form 4 covalent bonds
  • the strong covalent bonds take lots of energy to break, so diamond has a high melting point
18
Q

Why is diamond hard

A

as the strong covalent bonds hold the electrons in a very rigid lattice structure

19
Q

Why doesn’t diamond conduct electricity

A

as it has no free electrons or ions

20
Q

Name the 3 physical properties of diamond

A
  • high melting point
  • its hard
  • doesn’t conduct electricty
21
Q

Why is graphite soft and slippery

A
  • as in graphite each carbon atom only forms three covalent bonds, creating layers of carbon atoms
  • layers are held together weakly by intermolecular forces of attraction so are free to slide over each other
  • this makes graphite soft and slippery
22
Q

Why does graphite have a high melting point

A

As the covalent bonds in layers require lots of energy to break

23
Q

Why does graphite conduct electricity

A

As only three out of each of carbon’s four outer electrons are used in bonds, so each carbon atom has one electron that is delocalised (free) and can move

-hence why graphite conduct electricity

24
Q

Name 2 giant covalent structures

A
  • Graphite

- Diamond

25
Q

Do covalent compounds conduct electricity

A

not usually

26
Q

Are giant covalent structures soluble in water

A

no- insoluble

27
Q

Name a simple molecular substance

A

C60 fullerene

28
Q

Why is C60 fullerene soft

A

The C60 covalent molecules are held together by intermolecular forces and so can slide over each other, hence why C60 fullerene is soft

29
Q

Why is C60 fullerene a poor conductor of electricity

A

Each carbon in C60 fullerene has one delocalised electron

-however, the electrons can’t move between molecules, hence why c60 fullerene is a poor conductor of electricity

30
Q

Name the 3 physical properties of graphite

A
  • soft, slippery
  • high melting point
  • conducts electricity
31
Q

Name the 2 physical properties of C60 fullerene

A
  • soft

- poor conductor of electricity

32
Q

What is a metallic bond?

A

The electrostatic attraction between positive ions and delocalised electrons

33
Q

Explain why metals conduct electricity

A

This is because delocalised electrons are free to move

34
Q

Why are metals good conductors of heat

A

-as movement of delocalised electrons means that energy can be transferred quickly through material

35
Q

meaning of Malleable

A

Easy to shape or bend

36
Q

why are most metals malleable

A

-as layers of ions can slide over each other- making metals malleable

37
Q

meaning of Ductile

A

Can be pulled to form wires

38
Q

Why are metals ductile?

A

Layers of ions can slide over each other

39
Q

Why do metals have high melting and boiling points?

A

Strong metallic bonds require a lot of energy to break

40
Q

Are metals soluble in water?

do metals dissolve in water

A

No
