Answer 11

NO

Question 12

1.30

Answer 12

Long chain of molecules made of many short chain molecules (monomers)

Question 13

1.30
Why does poly(ethene) have a higher melting point than ethene?

Answer 13

-Larger molecule
-Stronger intermolecular forces between molecules
-More energy needed to separate

Question 14

1.35

Answer 14

Diff structural forms of particular element

Question 15

1.35

Answer 15

Properties and uses

Question 16

1.36
Compare the differences between diamond and graphite

Answer 16

Diamond
-4 covalent bonds
-Very hard
-Does not conduct electricity
-Cutting tools

Graphite
-3
-Very soft
-Each C atom has delocalised electron -> free to move and carry charge -> suitable for use in electrodes
-Lubricants, pencil lead
-Easily rubs away in layers bc weak intermolecular F between layers

Question 17

1.36
Compare the similarities between diamond and graphite

Answer 17

-High mp & bp
-Only C atoms
-Giant molecular substances

Answer 18

-Simple molecule
-C atoms
-3 covalent bonds

Question 19

1.38
State 2 properties of fullerenes. Give an example of one

Answer 19

-Weak IMF between molecules -> low mp (molecules themselves = very strong bc covalent bonding)
-Soft/Slippery
-Buckminster Fullerene

Question 20

1.38
Give 3 uses of fullerenes

Answer 20

-Cage molecules -> deliver drugs directly to cells in body
-Lubricants in machines -> stop moving parts grinding together
-Large SA -> Good industrial catalysts

Question 21

1.40
Define the term malleable

Answer 21

Can be bent into shape w/o shattering

Question 22

Define the term molecular formula

Answer 26

No. of atoms present in substance

Question 27

1.47
Describe what happens to the total mass in a non-enclosed system

Answer 27

Co₂ given off so mass decreases (not sure if it’s Co₂ for all reactions but generally something given off so will decrease)

Question 28

1.49
State the original equation for concentration

Answer 28

c=m/v

c=g dm^3
m=g
v=dm^3

Question 29

1.35
State 2 uses of graphene

Answer 29
