New cards
24

Where is most of the mass concentrated in an atom?

the nucleus

New cards
25

Explain why atoms contain equal number of protons and electrons

Atoms are neutral and the charges of a proton is +1 and the charge of an electron is -1 so the charge cancels each other out.

What is an ion?

an group of atoms that have a positive or negative charge

New cards
34

Explain the formation of ions in group 1 elements

ions produced in group 1 elements lose 1 electron to form a charge of +1

New cards
35

Explain the formation of ions in group 2 elements

group 2 metals will lose to electrons to make a charge of +2

New cards
36

Explain what formation of ions group 6 elements will have

group 6 non-metals will gain 2 electrons and form a charge of -2

New cards
37

Explain what formation of ions group 7 elements will have

Group 7 non-metals will gain 1 electrons and will have an overall charge of -1

New cards
38

What does the ending “-ide” at the end of a compound name mean?

it means that the compound contains 2 elements (one non-metal)

New cards
39

What does the ending “-ate” at the end of a compound name mean?

It means that the compound contains at least 3 elements (one of which is oxygen)

lattice structure consisting of a regular arrangement of ions held together by an electrostatic force of attraction

New cards
47

How is covalent bonding formed?

when atoms share electrons they create very strong bonds that occur in most non-metallic elements

New cards
48

What does covalent bonding result in?

The formation of molecules

New cards
49

What are properties of ionic compound?

  • made out of metals and non-metals

  • have regular structures and are held together by a strong force of attraction

  • have high melting and boiling points

  • when melted or dissolved in water, the compounds conduct electricity

New cards
57

What are some properties of simple molecular compounds?

  • substances that consist of small molecules an have a low boiling and melting point

  • made up of non-metals

  • the small molecules have a weak inter-molecular force

  • they do not conduct electricity

  • many are insoluble but some are soluble

New cards
58

What are some properties of giant covalent structures?

  • made up of non-metals

  • very high melting points

  • all the atoms are connected by a strong covalent bond

  • some giant covalent structures conduct electricity but others don’t

New cards
59

What are some properties of metallic (metal) structures?

  • they are arranged in a regular pattern

  • always made out of metallic elements

  • electrons in the outer shell are delocalised so they can move around the structure

  • Metals have very strong metallic bonding

  • have a high melting point and boiling point

  • conduct heat and electricity

New cards
60

Explain properties of ionic compounds

  • high melting point and boiling point

  • strong electrostatic force of attraction
