Q

How are ionic bonds made?

A

When a metal and non metal react the metal forms a positive ion and the non metal form a negative ion which attract together with electrostatic forces

16
Q

What are some properties of giant covalent structures?

A

Hugh melting and boiling points because of strong covalent bonds
Don’t conduct

17
Q

Properties of pure metals

A

Pure metals can be bent and shaped as the atoms are arranged in layers

18
Q

Properties of alloys

A

Harder than pure metals.
Harder to shape as different sized atoms prevent distortion of layers in the structure

19
Q

What is metallic bonding

A

Metallic bonding happens between two metals
Electrons in the outer shell are delocalised and shared - they are free to move around so they can conduct

20
Q

Explain the structure and bonding of diamonds

A

Each Carbon atom forms four covalent bonds with other carbon atoms
Giant covalent structure
Diamond is hard, high melting point, doesn’t conduct

21
Q

Explain the structure and properties of graphite

A

Each carbon atom forms three covalent bonds with other carbon atoms
Forming layers of hexagonal rings, one electrons from each carbon is delocalised
Graphite can conduct electricity
Soft as layers can slide over eachother

22
Q

Explain the structure and properties of graphene

A

Graphene is a single layer of graphite
Really strong with a high melting point
Can conduct and is useful in electronics

23
Q

What is an allotrope?

A

Different structural forms of the same element in the same physical state

24
Q

What is the structure and properties of a fullerene?

A

Molecules of Carbon atoms with hollow shapes
Useful in medicine

25
Q

What is Nanoscience?

A

Nanoscience is the science of structures 1-100nm in size

26
Q

What is the size of all the particles?

A

Nano particles - diameter between 1-100nm
Fine particles - diameter between 100-2500nm
Coarse particles - dust

27
Q

What are some uses of nano particles?

A

In medicine, electronics, cosmetics, catalysts

28
Q

What are some issues on nano particles?

A

Unknown effects on body
Relatively knew
Could effect body and environment
