Q

Define ionic bonding?

A

-Occurs between a metal and a non-metal- it is the complete transfer of one or more electrons metal to non-metal, giving charged ions that electrostatically attract.

Q

Melting points of ionic compounds?

A

-This depends of the strength of the forces of attraction, this is therefore the melting point. The melting point increases as the charge increases. Eg Mg2+O2- has stronger forces of attraction then Na+Cl-.

Q

What is a covalent bond?

Properties of Simple molecular?

A
  • They have low boiling points, so not much energy is needed to break the forces of attraction, also low melting points.

Q

Properties of giant covalent?

A
  • They are hard.
  • They have very high melting points.
  • Insoluble in all solvents.
  • They don t conduct electricity in solid or when molten, this is because of the lack of charged particles.

Q

What is the mass of an electron?

A

-1/1860 know this

29
Q

What is the mass number?

A

-Amount of protons and neutrons.

30
Q

How to find the number of neutrons?

A

-Mass number - protons.

31
Q

What is the name given to the same element with a different number of neutrons?

A

-Isotope.

32
Q

Methane has a………boiling point. This is because it has…….. forces between the ………….

A
  • low
  • weak
  • molecules
33
Q

Why is hydrogen a gas at room temperature?

A

-This is because there is little energy need to overcome the forces of attraction.

34
Q

Why does magnesium chloride have a high melting point?

A

-Because the forces of attraction between the three ions is very strong, so it takes a lot of energy in the form of heat to pull them apart.

35
Q

Why does magnesium conduct electricity?

A

-Because it has many delocalized electrons which can carry a charge they are also free to move.

36
Q

Why does water have a low melting point?

A

-It has covelent bonds, it only has intermollecular forces holding it together, which are weak so it does not take a lot of energy to be overcome.

37
Q

Liquid sodium chloride conducts electric because..

A

-The charged ions are free to move.

38
Q

Diamond has a high melting point because…

A

-It has strong forces of attraction and also because it has four bonds to each atom.

39
Q

Magnesium can be stretched to form magnesium ribbon because….

A

-Atoms slide past each other, electrons prevent repulsion, it is also very malleable.

40
Q

Diamond is very hard because….

A

-It is in a 3D lattice structure, this is very strong and it takes a lot of energy to be pulled apart.

41
Q

What is the mass and charge of a proton?

A

-1amu positive.

42
Q

What is the mass and charge of a neutron?

A

Q

The Period number =

A

-The number of occupied electron shells.

47
Q

What are ions?

A

-Ions are charged particles that are formed when a neutral atom either gains or loses electrons. Atoms that lose electrons become positively charged (cations) and those that gain electrons become negatively charged (anions)

48

52
Q

How is the periodic table organised?

A

-It is an arrangement of elements in order of atomic number

53
Q

What is a giant metallic structure?

A
  • Free electrons allow metals to conduct electricity and heat.
  • As the metals are made up of layers in a lattice, the layers can slip over each other, allowing the metal to be malleable and ductile.
54
Q

What are the noble gasses?

A

-The elements in group 0 are called the noble gases. They belong to the right-hand column in the periodic table. The noble gases are all chemically nonreactive which means they are inert.

55
Q

What properties do the noble gasses have in common?

A

-They are non-metals.
-They are very unreactive gases.
-They are colorless.
Tthey exist as single atoms (they are monatomic).

56
Q

Why are the noble gases so unreactive?

A

-All noble gases have the maximum number of electrons possible in their outer shell (2 for Helium, 8 for all others), making them stable.

57
Q

Why do elements in the same group of the periodic table have similar chemical properties?

A

-Elements in the same group in the periodic table have similar chemical properties. This is because their atoms have the same number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level. Group 1 elements are reactive metals called the alkali metals. Group 0 elements are unreactive non-metals called the noble gases.

58
Q

Oxidation is….

A

-The loss of electrons.

59
Q

Reductions is…

A

-The gain of electrons.

60
Q

What is ionic bonding?

A

-Ionic bonding is strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions.

61
Q

How to calculate the relative abundance?

A

-Abundance 1 x mass 1 x abundance 2 x mass 2/ 100

62
Q

The periodic table is….

A

-The arrangement of elements in term of there atomic number.

63
Q

Why do group 0 have a lack of reactivity?

A

-This is because they have a full outer shell of electrons.

64
Q

Electronic configuration?

A

example, 2.8.5

65
