Q

when we heat a solid the particles gain

A

energy hence they vibrate more strongly and the solid expands, when a solid is heated further beyond a certain point, the energy is enough to break the bonds or IMF in the solid and hence the particles move further apart and start sliding over each other forming a liquid, this is called melting

when we cool a gas, the particles loose energy and hence, they move closer to each other and move more slowly, this I because of increases forces of attraction between the particles, condensation also takes place at the boiling point

Q

vapour pressure

A

when we heat a liquid in a closed container, some of it evaporates and moves up to the lid, on the lid as the particles are closer together, they experience increased forces of attraction, which results in the vapour turning back to the liquid on the lid, over time a dynamic equilibrium is established between the liquid and the vapour the pressure of the vapour at this equilibrium is called vapour pressure

fullerenes are

A

ball like or tube like structures with hexagonal and pentagonal rings of carbon atoms, each carbon atom is covalently bonded to 3 other carbon atoms

70
Q

C60 has a low MP and BP

A

because there are weak van der waals forces between the ball like molecules for the same reason, they are quite soft they conduct electricity but to a lesser extent than graphite and are quite reactive

carbon atoms, electricity is conducted over the long axis of the tubes

77
Q

a lattice

A

alternating arrangement of oppositely charged ions, held together by strong ionic bonds

78
Q

properties of ionic compounds

A
  • they are solid at room temperature
  • high MP
  • high BP
  • high enthalpy change of vaporisation
79
Q

ionic compounds are generally soluble in water

A

this is because when the ionic compound is added to water, water molecules form bonds with the ions on the surface of the lattice, these bonds replace the bonds within the lattice thus ions go into the solution

80
Q

ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in solid state because

A

the ions are immobile in the lattice however when the compound is molten or dissolved in water, the ions are mobile so currents pass through

81
Q

the larger the charge on the ion

stronger the bond , thats why MgO is stronger than NaCl
