Q

What type of bonds hold ionic compounds together?

A

Strong electrostatic forces of attraction -> these act in all directions and hold the positive and negative ions in place.

so why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points?

  • They have strong electrostatic forces of attraction between ions.
  • Cannot conduct electricity because ions are locked in place by strong electrostatic forces of attraction, so are not free to move and carry electrical charge.
    ^^can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water - as ions can now move and carry electrical charge.

36
Q

True or false, covalent molecules are small?

A

True.

37
Q

Explain why covalent molecules have low melting and boiling points?

A
  • Strong covalent bonds between atoms in a molecule.
  • But weak IMF of attraction between molecules in a substance.
  • So not allow of energy is required to break them.
  • So low melting and boiling points.

^^This is why most small covalent molecules are gases at room temperature.

38
Q

True or false, as the size of the covalent molecule increases, the IMF of attraction between molecules increases?

A

True

39
Q

Explain why small covalent molecules don’t conduct electricity?

A

They have no overall electric charge.

  • So no free ion to carry electrical charge (no delocalised electron unlike ionic compounds).
40
Q

True or false, covalent molecules have an overall charge?

A

False

41
Q

Give 3 examples of giant covalent molecules:

A
  • Diamond
  • Silicon
  • Graphite
42
Q

Describe the state of covalent molecules at room temp:

A
  • Always solids at room temperature due to millions of strong covalent bonds which require a lot of energy to be broken and overcome.
  • This means they have a high melting and boiling point.
43
Q

What element is diamond made from?

A

Carbon.

44
Q

Information about diamond

A
  • Made from carbon molecule
  • Each carbon molecule forms 4 covalent bonds.
  • So very hard
  • Because made from many carbon molecules there are millions of strong covalent bonds, meaning that diamond has a high melting and boiling point because a lot of heat energy is required to break the bonds.
  • Cannot conduct electricity because there are no electrons that are free to move to carry electrical charge.
45
Q

What is silicon dioxide made from?

A

Silicon and Oxygen covalently bonded together.

46
Q

Information about silicon dioxide

A
  • Because it is a giant structure, there are many covalent bonds, this means that the MP and BP is high bc a lot of energy is required to break these covalent bonds.
  • Does not conduct electricity - no free/delocalised electrons.
47
Q

What is graphite made from?

A

Carbon.

48
Q

Information about graphite

A
  • Made from the element carbon
  • Each carbon atom forms three covalent bond, bc many carbon atoms means many covalent bonds = higher mp and bp bc lots of energy required to break bonds.
  • These covalent bonds make hexagonal rings which are arranged in layers with no covalent bonds between layers, these layers slide over each other making graphite soft and slippery bc layers can move.
  • Graphite conducts heat and electricity rlly well bc due to fact that carbon atoms only form 3 bonds, it means each carbon atom has a delocalised electron that is free to move.
  • This means the electron can move and carry electricity and heat.
49
Q

59
Q

What are polymers:

A
  • Polymers are made from monomers, the polymer takes the name, Poly(name of monomer), eg a polymer made from ethene will be called poly(ethene).
  • A monomer has a double C=C covalent bond, but when it reacts during polymerisation, this breaks, so polymers consist of SINGLE C-C covalent bond.
  • Because consists of covalent bond they are strong so useful for many materials eg textiles, food packaging.
  • Instead of writing polymers long hand way we can draw using repeating unit.
  • Repeating unit shows:

n meaning large number
single C-C covalent bond
two bonds on either side coming out of bracket to show it continues.

TRUE OR FALSE, polymers are solids at room temperature?

True, because of the strong intermolecular forces of attraction between each monomer, so a lot of energy is required to overcome these forces.

60
Q

What is meant by a polymer?

A

A large molecule consisting of group of monomers covalently bonded together.

61
Q

What is a monomer?

A

A small molecule that can join together with other monomers to form a larger molecule called a polymer through a process called polymerisation.

62
Q

Information about polymers and polymerisation:

A
  • Polymers are made from monomers, the polymer takes the name, Poly(name of monomer), eg a polymer made from ethene will be called poly(ethene).
  • A monomer has a double C=C covalent bond, but when it reacts during polymerisation, this breaks, so polymers consist of SINGLE C-C covalent bond.
  • Because consists of covalent bond they are strong so useful for many materials eg textiles, food packaging.
  • Instead of writing polymers long hand way we can draw using repeating unit.
  • Repeating unit shows:

TRUE OR FALSE, polymers are solids at room temperature?

True, because of the strong intermolecular forces of attraction between each monomer, so a lot of energy is required to overcome these forces.

63
Q

Describe the structure of metals?

A
  • Giant structure of atoms, arranged in regular layers.
64
Q

Information about metals and alloys.

A
  • Metals are a giant structure of atoms arranged in regular layers
  • Each atom in a metal has a delocalised electron on its outer energy level that is free to move and carry electrical charge and heat energy.
  • All these delocalised electrons form a sea of delocalised electrons (see image).
  • The sea of negative delocalised electrons are attracted to the positive charge of the metal ions (remember they are ions bc these delocalised electrons are lost and free to move)
  • This attraction is known as a strong electrostatic force of attraction and also known as metallic bond.
  • So in metals the metallic bonds are very strong making them solids at room temperature, bc they have a high melting and boiling point; (lots of energy required to overcome metallic bonds/esfa).

WHY CAN METALS BE BENT AND SHAPED?
- They are made from atoms arranged in regular layers, these layers can slide over each other,
- This means pure metals aren’t strong enough to make useful materials for things like jewellery, so we have alloyss

ALLOYS; a mixture of metals.
- The different size of the different atoms from the mixture of different metals distort the layers within the alloy, making it difficult for the atoms to slide over each other. This is why alloys are harder than pure metals.

65
Q

What is a millimetre in comparison to a meter?

A

1 x 10^-3 meters or 1/1000th of a meter.

1/1000 a millimeter = a micrometer

so a micro meter = 1 x 10^-6 meters

1/1000 micrometer = nano meter

a nano meter is 1 billionth of a meter

66
Q

What is meant by a nanoparticle?

A

A structure that is 1–100 nm in size, made up of a few hundred atoms.

They are smaller than fine particles but large than course particles.

67
Q

Fine particles:

A

AKA PM2.5 which have diameters between 100 and 2500 nm (1 x 10-7 m and 2.5 x 10-6 m)

68
Q

Coarse particles:

A

AKA PM10 have diameters between
1 x 10-5 m and 2.5 x 10-6 m.

Coarse particles are often referred to as dust.

69
Q

True or false, as the side of cube decreases by a factor of 10 the surface area to volume ratio increases by a factor of 10?

A

True

So nanoparticles may have properties different from those for the same materials in bulk eg catalysts because of their high surface area to volume ratio.

It may also mean that smaller quantities are needed to be effective than for materials with normal particle sizes.

70
Q

Give examples of uses of nano particles:

A
  • medicines
  • creams
  • deodorants
  • electronics
  • cosmetics
  • catalysts
71
Q

Risks of nanoparticles;

A

so small so can be absorbed by body into cells. We do not k the risk of this so this needs to continue to be studied carefully.

72
Q

Advantages and limitations of dot-cross diagrams

A

+ tell use which electron is coming from which atom

  • doesn’t show us the shape of the molecules involved
73
Q

Advantages and limitations of 2D stick diagrams

A
  • because covalent bonds are shown as a stick, we dont know where each electron comes from.
  • We aren’t shown any outer electrons which are not in bonds.
  • 2D -> not accurate info on the shape
74
Q

Advantages and limitations of 3D stick diagrams

A

+ show the shape
- we aren’t shown ideas of outer electrons that aren’t in bonds.
- shown as stick, so not shown which electron comes from which atom.

75
Q

Advantages and limitations of ball and stick diagrams.

A

+ Allow us to see the ions in 3D form
- Ions are widely spaced when in reality they are close tg
- Only show a PART of the giant crystal lattice - this gives a misleading depiction of its true size.

76
Q

Instead of ball and stick diagrams, we can used space filling diagrams, what are the advantages and limitations of these?

A

+ They allow us to see ions in 3D
+ Show ions closer tg, less misleading than ball and stick diagrams
- Only show a PART of the giant crystal lattice - this gives a misleading depiction of its true size.
