evaporation

A

heating to separate a soluble such as table salt from water

48
Q

filtration

A

seperating an insoluble substance from a liquid by passing the mixture through porous paper

49
Q

paper chromotography

A

using long strips of filter paper to draw lighter dissolved substances way from heavier substances (eg different coloured dyes)

50
Q

distillation

A

a combination of 2 processes-evaporation followed by condensation(eg to mase pure water from seawater)

51

attracting substances made of iron ,nickel and cobalt in order to sepeate them from other substances

54
Q

decanting

A

pouring off the liquid at the top of a container with an insoluble substance (eg sand and water)

55
Q

what are some of the similar chemical and physical properties of metals?

A

sonorous,malleable,shiny,conductors,strong,solid(except mercury),ductile,high density,magnetic(iron/cobalt /cobalt)

56
Q

what is a delocalised electron?

A

free electron that can move throughout the structure of the atom.

57
Q

what does a dot-cross diagram in ionic bonding show?

A

the transfer of electrons from a metal atom to a non-metal atom,creating ions with full outer shells -remember to use square brackets

58
Q

why do ionic compounds not conduct electricity when solid?

A

ions are not free to move in the lattice because the bonds are too strong

59
Q

when can ionic compounds conduct electricity and why?

A

when molten or dissolved in water(aqueous).the ions are free to move

60
Q

why do ionic compounds have high melting points?

A

large number of electrostatic forces that require a lot of energy to overcome them as they are incredibly strong.

61
Q

why are ionic compounds so brittle ?

A

because the layers of ions move over eachother and ions of the same charge repel and so break

62
Q

examples of giant covalent structures

A

diamons,graphite ,graphene,ilicon dioxide

63
Q

what are common features of a giant covalent compound

A

high melting and boiling points,insoluble,do not conduct electricity(except graphite and graphene)

64
Q

what is fullerene?

A

known as Buckminsterfullerene. Contains 60 carbon atoms. Different shapes, cages or balls.

Very strong.

Closed structure, can entrap other molecules.

  • Used to carry medicine, and can absorb harmful free radicals
