Q

Explain why carbon forms covalent bonds with 4 hydrogen atoms in CH4

A

Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell, so need for 4 covalent bonds to gain a full outer shell. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer shell and needs to form one single bond to gain a full outer shell. So you need 4 hydrogen atoms for each 1 carbon atom

Q

Why do simple molecular substances have low melting and boiling points?

A

Simple molecular substances have low melting and boiling points because there was weak intermolecular force of attraction between moleculs that can easily be broken.

36
Q

H2 and CH4 are both covalent compounds. Which would have the highest boiling point?

A

CH4 would have the highest boiling point. The larger the molecule the stonger the intermolecular forces, meaning the more energy needed to break them.

Q

What element is graphite made from?

A

Carbon

Q

What element is damond made from?

A

Carbon

40
Q

What is the structure of diamond?

A

Diamong is a tetraheadral structure, where each carbon is covalently bonded to 4 other carbons

41
Q

What is the structure of graphite?

A

Graphite is layers of graphene sheets, with forces acting between the sheets. Each carbon is bonded to 3 other carbon atoms in a hexagonal structure

42
Q

What is the difference between graphite and graphene?

A

Graphene is a single layer of hexagonal lattice structure, where a carbon is bonded to 3 other carbons. Graphite, is layers of graphene sheets

43
Q

Can diamond conduct electricity?

A

No. There are no free electrons in diamond

44
Q

Can graphite conduct electricity?

A

Yes. There are free electrons that can move throughout the structure

45
Q

Why do giant covalent substances have high melting points?

A

They have high melting points because of the strong covalent bonds between the atoms

46
Q

Explain how the structure and bonding of graphite makes it a suitable material for lubricants.

A

Graphite has a layered structure, with only weak forces of attraction between the layers. The layers can break away from each other, makng graphite soft and slippery

47
Q

Describe the structure of fullerenes

A

Fullerenes are molecules of carbon, shaped likeclosed tubes or hollow balls. They have a huge surface area, so many catalyst molecules could be attached to each fullerene

48
Q

Why is graphite used for electrodes?

A

Graphite has the ability to conduct electricity due to the free electrons. Carbon is also unreactive which makes it safer to use in electrodes

49
Q

Where on the periodic table are metals found?

A

Towards the left of the periodic table

50
Q

Describe the bonding in a metal

A

The bonding in a metal consists of strong electrostatic forces of attraction between positive metal ions and the delocalised electrons.

51
Q

Explain why metals can conduct electricity

A

The have delocalised electrons that can pass through the structure

52
Q

Explain why metals can conduct heat

A

The have delocalised electrons that can pass through the structure

53
Q

Explain why metals are malleable and ductile

A

Mtels have a layered structure. The layers can slide across each other, meaning when a pressure is applied the layers move.

54
Q

Explain why metals have a high melting and boiling point

A

Metals ions and the delocalised elctrons are held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction. The electrostatic forces need a large amount of energy to be overcome

55
Q

Define the term: Alloy

A

An alloy is a mixture of metals or a mixture containing at least one metal.

56
Q

Why are alloys stonger than pure metas?l

A

An alloy has more than one type of atom. The atoms are different sizes, which makes it harder for the layers to pass over each other

57
Q

What type of ions do metals form?

A

Metals always form positive ions

58
Q

What type of ions do non-metals form?

A

Non-metals always form negative ions, due to them gaining electrons to gain a full outer shell.

59
Q

Which group of elements is stable and doesnt form compounds easily?

A

noble gases/group 0 in the periodic table

60
Q

Why do elements want to form bonds?

A

To gain a full outershell of electrons and become stable.

61
Q

How is an elements electron arrangement linked to its position in the periodic table?

A

Elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell.

62
Q

How do positive and negative charges affect each other?

A

They attract each other.

63
Q

Which sub-atomic particles of atoms take part in chemical reactions?

A

Electrons

64
Q

What is an ion?

A

an atom that is charged because it has lost or gained one or more electrons

65
Q

What happens when an ionic bond is formed?

A

formed by the loss of electrons; cation

67
Q

How is a negative ion formed and what is it called?

Describe the appearence of diamond

A

colourless and shiny

73
Q

Describe the appearence of graphite

A

dark black/silvery

74
Q

Describe the uses for diamond

A

Diamond is used for jewellery due to it’s appearance. Diamond is also used for drill bits - the covalent bonds mean that it extremely strong (one of the strongest known materials)

75
Q

Desrcibe a use for graphite

A

pencils, lubricants - due to the layered structure it allows for movement and the covalent bonds meann it has a high melting point.

76
Q

What is the molecular formula of the very common compound formed between hydrogen and oxygen?

A

H2O

77
Q

What are molecules?

A

groups of atoms held together by (covalent) bonds

78
Q

What happens to electrons between two atoms in a covalent bond?

A

they are shared

79
Q

What kinds of bonds are found in molecules?

A

covalent bonds are found holding the atoms together in molecules (intermolecular forces are found between molecules)

80
Q

Define: Intermolecular force of attraction

A

Forces of attraction between simple covalent compounds

81
Q

In oxygen and carbon dioxide, the atoms share two pairs of electrons. How do we describe these bonds?

A

double bonds (represented by = in a displayed formula)

82
Q

What is the name of the force that holds molecules together in gases and liquids?

A

intermolecular force

83
Q

How strong are the forces of attraction between molecules compared to the bonds within molecules?

A

They are relatively weak. (Covalent bonds holding atoms together are strong / Intermolecular forces holding molecules together are weak)

84
Q

Are simple molecules usually good conductors of electricity at room temperature?

A

No, they are poor conductors of electricity (as they have no charged particles or free electrons to move)

85
