Q

Description of a giant covalent network solid

A

A covalent network solid is a lattice structure made up of atoms connected by covalent bonds
- high meltimg point
- conducts electricty ( has delocolises valecne electrons) (diamond and silica cannot whereas graphtie can as there are free moving electrons between the layers)
- insoluable
- not malliable and ductile as the bonds do not allow atoms to move

Q

How do solids react to temperature

A

If a solid ( ionic, metallic and covalent) have strong bonds, it requires a lot of heat to break the attraction.
If the solid ( molecular) had a weak intermolecular bond, it requires less energy to break the bonds

Q

How does electrical conductivity happen in solids

A

If it is in a lattice structure and ions cannot move free/ have free valence electrons ( ionic, covalent and molecular), it cannot conduct electricity
If it is surrounded by delocalized valence electrons which move freely, it can carry a charge ( metallic), it can conduct electricity

Q

How to tell if something is mallable? or will it be birttle

A

If it the bonding between the ions/ atoms are directional, when it is hit, the chargers move and result in like chargers being next to each other. This causes them to repel and the lattice to break apart
If it bonding between atoms are non directional, when a force is applied, the layers of atoms can slide over one another

Q

How to know if a solid is soluble

A

If it made up of atoms. Atoms have no charge so it is not attracted to the slight positive or slightly negative side of water molecules

Q

Description of a simple covalent molecular compound

A

covalent molecular made up of atoms connected by weak intermolecular bonds
- low melting point
- doesn’t conduct electricity
- may be soluble depending on bond
