19
Q

Final atomic structure.

A

Bohr suggested energy levels with fixed orbits. Each shell has a fixed energy.

20
Q

Relative mass of an electron

A

0.0005 (1/2000)

21
Q

Relative atomic mass (Ar)

A

Average mass of one atom compared to the 1/12 of the mass of Carbon-12

22
Q

Dmitri Mendeleev

A

Sorted into groups based on properties. He ordered using Atomic Mass. He left gaps for undiscovered elements and predicted their properties (ekasilicon and germanium). Tellurium and Iodine were the wrong way around.

23
Q

Ionic Bonding

A

Metal and Non-metal react. Metal loses electrons forming a Cation. Non-metal gains electrons forming an anion. They are held together by electrostatic attraction.

24
Q

Ionic lattice

A

Giant,crystalline, Strong electrostatic attraction in all directions.

25
Q

Limitations of 2D representations (displayed formula)

A

Don’t show the shape or size of atoms.

26
Q

Dot and cross diagrams limitations

A

Don’t show arrangement or size.

27
Q

3D model limitations

A

Only show the outer layer of the substance.

28
Q

Ball and stick limitations

A

Misleading with gaps between atoms where electrons interact, don’t show correct scale.

29
Q

MP and BP of covalent substances

A

Low, as intermolecular are weak.

30
Q

As molecules get bigger their..

A

Intermolecular forces require more energy to break them.

31
Q

Giant covalent properties

A

Strong Covalent bonds.
Very high MP and BP.
Don’t conduct.
Insoluble.

32
Q

Diamond

A

Each carbon is bonded 4 times. Require lots of energy to break bonds. Rigid lattice making it very hard. Can’t conduct.

33
Q

Graphite

A

Each carbon bonded 3-times. The extra electron is delocalised making it conductive. Layers can move making it a good lubricant.

34
Q

Graphene

A

A single layer of graphite.
Sheet of carbon hexagons.
One atom thick, 2D.

35
Q

Fullerenes

A

Form molecules of carbon shaped in tubes or balls. Made up of carbon Hexagons (sometimes pentagons and heptagon).

36
Q

Uses of Fullerenes

A
  1. Delivering drugs to cells. ‘Cage’ other molecules.
  2. Very large surface area used for industrial catalysts as molecules can be attached to them.
  3. Nanotubes can be used (graphene cylinders) to strength materials as they’re strong and light
37
Q

If mass increases

A

Reactant was a gas

38
Q

If mass decreases

A

Product is a gas.

39
Q

Find molecular formula from empirical formula

A

Find Mr of empirical formula.
Mr of compound / Mr of empirical formula

Multiply empirical formula

40
Q

Moles =

A

Mass

Mr

41
Q

Avogadro’s constant

A

6.02 x 10^23

42
Q

Concentration

A

Mass / volume

43
Q

1dm^3

A

1000cm^3

44
Q

Empirical formula experiments.

A

Weigh crucible.
Add magnesium, weigh again, subtract from original to calculate the mass.
Heat the crucible with lid (preventing bits escaping) until all ribbon has turned white.
Cool and reweigh crucible with contents. Calculate the mass of magnesium oxide. Calculate moles of added oxygen and original magnesium.

45
Q

Limiting reactant

A

The reaction stops once one of the reactants have been used up.

Amount of product ∝ limiting reactant.

46
Q

Find balance equation from masses

A

Calculate the number of moles
Divide through by the lowest number of moles.
Make it integer. Put into equation.
