what are the different types of bonding
- metallic
- ionic (metal & non-metal)
- covalent (non-metals)
- giant covalent
define metalic bonding
eletrostation attraction between rows of metal cations and a sea of delocalised electrons
explain is metals are malleable or soft
malleable and ductile because the layers of cations can slide
define ionic bonding
eletrostatic attraction between positive metal and negative non-metal ions
are ionically bonded materials malleable or soft
brittle (hard but easy to break)
define covalent bonding
electrostatic attraction between the bonding pair of electrons and bonded nuclei with weak intermolecular forces between molecules
what is an alloy
a mixture of two or more elements one of which is a metal
why are alloys stronger than metals
because alloys have different sized atoms so the arrangement is more irregular so it is harder to bend / snap as the irregular atoms do not easily move over each other
describe the reactivity down group one
the get more reactive as you go down
how do group 1 elements react with air
they all instantly tarnish in air due to oxygen producing a white oxide
what is the name given to group one elements
alkali metals
describe how lithium reacts with water
- moves on surface of water
- fizzes
- floats
- squeaky pop with flame
- universal indicator turns blue
describe how sodium reacts with water
- moves on surface of water
- fizzes
- floats
- squeaky pop with flame
- universal indicator turns blue
- melts into a ball
describe how potassium reacts with water
- moves on surface of water
- fizzes
- floats
- squeaky pop with flame
- universal indicator turns blue
- purple flame
- melts into a ball
- exploded
explain why group one metals get more reactive down the group
- the outer electron is further away from the nucleus
- there is less attraction = quicker transfer
- the atos has more shells so the outer electron is more easily lost
what are the procucts of a group 1 element and water
- metal hydroxide
- hydrogen
what is the formula for hydroxide
OH -
what is the formula for nitrate
NO3 -
what is the formula for carbonate
CO3 2-
what is the formula for sulphate
SO4 2-
what is the formula for hyrdrochloric acid
HCl
what is the formula for sulfuric acid
H2SO4
what is the formula for nitric acid
HNO3
what is the name given to group 7 elements
halogens
