Bonding Structure And Properties Of Matter

Question 1

Describe the movement ans arrangement of the subatomic particles in metallic bonding

Answer 1

Positive metal ions surrounded by free electrons

Question 2

Describe the bonding in ionic compounds

Answer 2

-Metal + non metal ions held together with strong electrostatic forces
-metal=posative ions
-non metal=negative ions

Question 3

Why can ionic compounds conduct electricity when in a solution

Answer 3

The ions are free to move and conduct electricity

Question 4

What is a monomer

Answer 4

Made up of only one molecule

Question 5

What is a polymer

Answer 5

A long chain of monomers

Question 6

What happens to the intermolecular forces when a liquid turns into a gas

Answer 6

The Forces of attraction between molecules become less as the particles gain energy and move about more

Question 7

Why can graphite conduct electricity

Answer 7

There are delocalised electrons that can move through the layers

Question 8

Compare silicon dioxide and diamond

Answer 8

Silicon dioxide contains silicon and oxygen atoms instead of carbon but has a similar structure to diamond

Question 9

Compare diamond and graphite

Answer 9

-only graphite can conduct
-both forms of carbon
-both form single covalent bonds
-diamond-tetrahedral structure(forms 4 covelant bonds)
Graphite-hexagonal layers(forms 3 covelant bonds)
