16
Q

What happens when 2 non-metal atoms share electrons?

A

A molecule is formed

17
Q

What is a shared pair of electrons called?

A

A covalent bond

18
Q

Covalent network substances are…

A

Solid at room temperature, usually very hard and have high boiling points

19
Q

Do covalent network substances react?

A

No, they are unreactive

20
Q

What are the covalent network substances?

A

Boron, Carbon (in the form of diamond and graphite) & silicon

21
Q

What do non-metal atoms do to form a full outer shell of electrons?

A

Steal electrons form metals

22
Q

What do metals do to achieve a full outer shell of electrons?

A

Give electrons away

23
Q

How do we tell if a substance is ionic or covalent?

A

If the substance contains a metal it is ionic

24
Q

What happens to ionic substances that doesn’t to covalent?

A

They dissolve in other substances

25
Q

How do we work out the number of:

  • Protons
  • Electrons
  • Neutrons

In an atom?

A
  • Protons = Atomic No.
  • Electrons = Atomic No.
  • Neutrons = Mass No. — Atomic No.
26
Q

What is an ion?

A

An atom with a different number of protons and electrons due to electrons being shared / stolen to form a full outer shell in an atom

27
Q

What is an ionic bond?

A

The electrostatic force of attraction between a positively charged metal ion and a negatively charged non-metal ion

28
Q

How do we tell if an element is positively or negatively charged?

A

If the atom gives away an electron to gain a full outer shell of electrons it is positively charged as it has less electrons than protons.

If an atom steals electrons it is negatively charged as it has more electrons than protons

29
Q

What is a covalent bond?

A

A shared pair of electrons

30
Q

Do covalent molecular and network substances conduct electricity?

A

No, this applies in any matter as well

31
Q

Do ionic substances conduct electricity?

A

They are poor conductors as a solid but conduct well when molten or in solution.

32
Q

Ionic substances have low melting points - True or False

A

False

33
Q

What is the only type of compound with a low melting point?

A

Covalent molecule

34
Q

The only type of compound to conduct as a solid is…

A

Metallic lattice
