2-

13
New cards

What would be the charge of an ion formed from a Group 7 element?

-1

14
New cards

What is an ionic compound?

A giant structure of ions

15
New cards

What holds ionic compounds together?

Strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions

16
New cards

Name 2 covalently bonded substances with giant covalent structure

Diamond, Silicon dioxide

17
New cards

Some covalently bonded substances have very large molecules, such as

Polymers

18
New cards

How are the atoms arranged in metals?

In a regular pattern

19
New cards

What are the electrons in the outer shell of metal atoms like?

Delocalised

20
New cards

What does delocalised electrons mean?

Electrons that are free to move around

21
New cards

What are the three states of matter?

Solid, Liquid and Gas

22
New cards

What takes place at the melting point?

Melting and Freezing

23
New cards

What takes place at the boiling point?

Boiling and Condensing

24
New cards

How does the strength of the forces between particles affect the boiling point?

The stronger the forces between the particles the higher the boiling point

25
New cards

What are the limitations of the particle model?

There are no forces
All particles are represented as spheres
The spheres are solid

26
New cards

What is the state symbol for a solid?

(s)

27
New cards

What does the symbol (g) mean?

Gas

28
New cards

What does the symbol (aq) mean?

Aqueous

29
New cards

Why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points?

Due to the large amounts of energy needed to break the many strong bonds

30
New cards

Why can ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water?

Because the ions are free to move and so charge can flow

31
New cards

Substances that consist of small molecules are usually

Gases or Liquids

32
New cards

When a substance melts which forces are overcome?

Intermolecular forces

33
New cards

Why do small molecules not conduct electricity?

Because the molecules do not have an overall electric charge

34
New cards

Which are stronger; covalent bonds or intermolecular forces?

Covalent bonds

35
New cards

How are the atoms in polymer molecules linked?

By covalent bonds

36
New cards

Polymers are usually which state at room temperature?

Solids

37
New cards

In pure metals how are the atoms arranged?

In layers

38
New cards

Why are metals often mixed with other metals to make alloys?

To make metals harder as pure metals are too soft for many uses

39
New cards

Why do metals have high melting and boiling points?

Because they have strong metallic bonding

40
New cards

Why are metals good conductors of electricity?

Because they have delocalised electrons to carry electrical charge

41
New cards

Why are metals good conductors of thermal energy?

Because energy is transferred by the delocalised electrons

42
New cards

In diamond how many bonds does each carbon atom form?

4

43
New cards

Why does diamond have a very high melting point?

Lots of strong covalent bonds

44
New cards

In graphite how many bonds does each carbon atom form?

3

45
New cards

In graphite, one electron from each carbon atom is

Delocalised

46
New cards

What are the shapes of the rings in graphite?

Hexagonal rings

47
New cards

What is graphene?

A single layer of graphite

48
New cards

What are fullerenes?

Molecules of carbon atoms with hollow shapes

49
