Q

WHY METALLIC SUBSTANCES ARE GOOD CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY

A
  • Valence electrons that form the SEA OF ELECTRONS are move
  • Electrons an move freely throughout the metallic lattice
  • If voltage is applied to a metal, electrons from the mobile sea move towards the positive terminal of the power supply
  • Positive metal ions remain stationary in their fixed positions
  • The ability of the valence electrons to move thus to conduct charge = good conductors of electricity

Q

WHY METALLIC SUBSTANCES ARE GOOD CONDUCTORS OF HEAT

A
  • Electrons without sea of electrons are mobile
  • Means thy can carry heat energy (as kinetic energy) throughout the metal lattice
  • Vibration of metallic ions also contributes to the flow of heat through the metal lattice

Q

WHY METALLIC SUBSTANCES ARE MALLEABLE AND DUCTILE

A
  • Bonding between metal ions and the sea of electrons is NON-DIRECTIONAL
  • Means individual metal atoms can move in relation to each other without breaking the bonds between them and the sea of electrons
  • Allows metal to change SHAPE, BEND OR STRETCH without breaking

Q

HIGH MELTING AND BOILING POINTS

A
  • Strong attractive forces between the metal ions and the sea of electrons hold the LATTICE TOGETHER
  • Thus, high temperature is needed to disrupt the lattice and allow the metal to melt

Q

WHY IONIC COMPOUNDS ARE POOR CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY WHEN SOLID

A
  • When solid; the ions are TIGHTLY held in FIXED positions within the lattice, thus unable to move and carry charge
  • Absence of MOBILE CHARGED PARTICLES

Q

WHY IONIC COMPOUNDS ARE GOOD CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY WHEN IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION

A
  • When aqueous; individual ions from the ionic solid are MOBILE and FREE to move independently of one another
  • Mobility and charge enable them to conduct electric current through ionic solution
  • BOTH positive and negative ions are involved in conducting the current
  • Current consists of positive ions moving toward the negative electron and vice versa
17
Q

WHY IONIC COMPOUNDS ARE HARD AND BRITTLE

A
  • When a large force is applied to the ionic lattice, the ions move
  • Charged ions will be forced to align alongside each other ie. no longer aligned diagonally
  • This means like charges will be closer together than unlike charges
  • Consequently repulsive forces will exceed attractive forces and the lattice will break apart rather than simply dent or bend
18
Q

WHY IONIC COMPOUNDS HAVE HIGH MELTING AND BOILING POINTS

A
  • Ionic bonds are strong electrostatic attractive forces between ions
  • These strong attractive forces extend throughout the ionic lattice keeping individual ions in fixed positions
  • Thus a higher temperature ie. high particle kinetic energy is needed to disrupt (melt) the ionic lattice
19
Q

COVALENT BONDING

A
  • Occurs between non metal elements

- Valence electrons are shared between the bonded atoms so that each atom has a full outer shell

20
Q

COVALENT BONDS

A
  • Directional
  • A single covalent bond is aligned along an axis through the two atoms that share electrons
  • Bonding in electrons are LOCALISED along this axis and between the two bonded atoms
  • Occur in substances; covalent molecular or covalent network
21
Q

COVALENT MOLECULAR SUBSTANCES

A
  • Eg. most non-metal elements; chlorine (Cl2), Oxgen (O2), Nitrogen (N2) and most compounds formed from a combination of non-metals only; CH4, HBr, NH3 and H2SO4
  • In covalent molecular substances, small groups of atoms become covalently bonded to one another forming CLUSTERS OF ATOMS KNOWN AS MOLECULES
  • Strong covalent bonds within the molecules are referred to as INTRAMOLECULAR FORCES
  • Weak attraction forces between the molecule are known as INTERMOLECULAR FORCES
22
Q

WHY COVALENT MOLECULAR SUBTANCES ARE NON CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY IN A SOLID/LIQUID/AQUEOUS PHASE

A
  • Electrons in a covalent molecular substance are localised within each atom’s electron cloud or as shared electrons within covalent bonds
  • Non of these electrons are FREE to move independently
  • Substances DONT contain ions
  • Absence of freely mobile charged particles = non conductors of electricity
23
Q

WHY SOME COVALENT MOLECULAR SUBSTANCES ARE GOOD CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY WHEN IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION

A
  • Covalent molecular substances which or ACIDIC OR BASIC eg. HCl, H2SO4 and NH3 REACT with water (ionise) producing free mobile ions
  • Resulting ions are able to move freely throughout the solution carrying charge = conducting an electric current
24
Q

WHY COVALENT MOLECULAR SUBSTANCES ARE SOFT AND WEAK

A
  • Strong covalent bonds (INTRAMOLECULAR FORCES) only form between the atoms within molecules
  • Only WEAK INTERMOLECULAR FORCES of attraction occur between neighbouring molecules
  • Consequently molecules are easily separated from one another, making them weak and soft
25
Q

WHY COVALENT MOLECULAR SUBSTANCES HAVE LOW TO MODERATE MELTING AND BOILING POINTS

A
  • When a molecular substance melts or boils, only the WEAK INTERMOLECULAR FORCES need to be broken or overcome
  • Thus weakly bonded lattice of molecules in the solid phase is easily disrupted by heat energy to form a liquid or gas
  • Strong covalent bonds occurring between atoms within the molecule (INTRAMOLECULAR FORCES) are unaffected when substance melts or boils
26
Q

COVALENT BONDING IN POLYATOMIC IONS

A
  • Many ionic compounds contain one or more polyatomic ions
  • Whilst these ions form part of an IONIC compound, the atoms within the polyatomic ion are COVALENTLY bonded to each other
  • Arrangement of valence electrons in a polyatomic ion can be shown using a Lewis Structure
27
Q

COVALENT NETWORK SUBSTANCES

A
  • Eg. Boron (B), Carbon (C), Graphite, Diamond, Silicon (Si), Silicon Dioxide (SiO2 ie. quartz or sand) and Silicon Carbide (SiC)
  • Atoms in these substances form covalent bonds with multiple neighbouring atoms resulting in a CONTINUOUS ARRAY OF COVALENTLY BONDED ATOMS
  • Different to MOLECULAR as the strong covalent bonding extends continuously throughout the substance
  • Gives structure gives covalent network substances properties that contrast strongly with those of covalent molecular materials
28
Q

CARBON ALLOTROPES

A
  • Different forms of the same element

- Eg. Graphite and Diamond both consist of PURE CARBON

29
Q

WHY COVALENT NETWORK SUBSTANCES ARE NON CONDUCTORS OF HEAT OR ELECTRICITY

A
  • Electrons in these substances are held in FIXED positions within the atom’s shells, lone pairs or covalent bonds-
  • Electrons ARENT free to move independently means they conduct electricity or heat through the substance
  • GRAPHITE (carbon allotrope) is AN EXCEPTION of this, as some valence electrons are delocalised (free to move)
30
Q

WHY COVALENT NETWORK SUBSTANCES ARE VERY HARD AND BRITTLE

A
  • Strong covalent bonds occur between all atoms within a covalent network
  • This CONTINUOUS ARRAY OF STRONGLY BONDED ATOMS is difficult to disrupt = hard and brittle
  • GRAPHITE IS AN EXCEPTION TO THIS
31
Q

WHY COVALENT NETWORK SUBSTANCES HAVE VERY HIGH MELTING AND BOILING POINTS

A
  • Strong covalent bonds occur between all atoms within the structure
  • A very high temperature (high kinetic energy) is needed to disrupt this continuous array of strongly bonded atoms
32
Q

WHAT IS A NANOPARTICLE? AND INCLUDE EXAMPLES THAT DON’T INVOLVE CARBON

A
  • Particles with ATLEAST one dimension in the 1-100 nanometre range (ie 1-100x10-9m)
  • Quantum dots are nanoparticles typically made form ZnS or ZnSe
  • Some sunscreens contain nanoparticles of ZnO or TiO2
33
Q

NANOPARTICLES OFTEN EXHIBIT QUANTUM EFFECTS.WHAT IS MEANT BY A QUANTUM EFFECT APPLIED TO NANOPARTICLES PLUS EXAMPLE

A
  • Nanoparticles often have properties that differ greatly from those of the bulk material of which they are
  • Due to Quantum Effects
  • These result from their small particle size
  • Zinc Oxide (example) are opaque and white, however when prepared as nanoparticles they become colourless and invisible
  • Nanoparticle size samples of ZnSS or CdSe (quantum dots) exhibit a variety of colours when exposed to UV light
  • This doesn’t happen to a bulk sample of ZnS or CdSe
34
Q

DESCRIBE THE STRUCTURE OF A DENDRIMER AND EXPLAIN WHY ITS CALLED A NANODEVICE RATHER THAN A NANOPARTICLE

A
  • A dendrimer is a nanoparticle that can be used as a molecular carrier
  • In this example the dendrimer will carry four molecules, one that recognises cancer cells, another that is a therapeutic agent able to kill cancer cells, a third molecular which recognises when the cancer cell dies and a fourth molecule that signals the cancel cells death
  • The resulting dendrimer package is called a nanodevice as it has several components that act togheter to produce an outcome
  • Ie. its considered a device which as a nanoscale size
35
Q

LASER ABLATION (PRODUCES NANOPARTICLES)

A
  • Involved using high powered pulses to vaporise a graphite target in an inert atmosphere
  • The vaporised carbon atoms called as CNT’s on a water cooled collector surface
  • A small amount (around 1%) of a metal catalyst such as Ni/Co may be incorporated in the graphite target to enhance the process
  • The laser ablation method has alose been used to create single walled CNT’s covered with quantum dot lead sulfide particles
  • Other techniques include solution evapouration, chemical vapour deposition, microbial synthesis and chemical precipitation from solution
36
Q

37
Q

WHAT IS A NANOCOMPOSITE? USE EXAMPLE

A
  • Nanocomposites are made by adding nanosized particles of one material to a matrix of a bulk material such as metal, polymer or ceramic (eg concrete)
  • Modern nanocomposite applicaties inolved the addition of manufactured nanotubes or graphene to plastics like polyprotylene, polycarbonate and epoxy resins
38
Q

WHY ARE NANOCOMPOSITES POTENTIALLY SUPERIOR TO FIBERGLAS AND CARBON FIBRE PLASTICS?

A
  • Nanocomposites can have enhanced or modified properties such as a lower density, improved mechincal strength, electrical and thermal conductivity, catalytic and optical properties that are superior to those of traditional composites like fibreglass or carbon fibre reinforced plastics
