17
Q

give two properties of nanotubes

A

high tensile strength, conduct electricity

18
Q

what is an ion

A

atom that has lost or gained electrons

19
Q

which kinds of elements form ionic bonds

A

a metal with a non-metal

20
Q

what charges do ions from group 1 and 2 form

A

group 1 forms 1+, group 2 forms 2+

21
Q

what charges do ions from group 6 and 7 form

A

group 6 forms 2-, group 7 forms 1-

22
Q

name the force that holds oppositely charges ions together

A

electrostatic force of attraction

23
Q

give three uses of fullerenes

A

lubricants, drug delivery (spheres), high-tech electronics

24
Q

describe the structure of giant ionic lattice

A

regular structure of alternating positive and negative ions, held together by the electrostatic force of attraction

25
Q

why don’t ionic substances conduct electricity when solid

A

ions are fixed in position so cannot move, and there are no delocalised electrons

26
Q

why do ionic substance have higher melting points

A

electrostatic force between positive and negative ions is strong and requires lots of energy to break

27
Q

when can ionic substances conduct electricity

A

when melted or dissolved

28
Q

why do ionic substances conduct electricity when melted or dissolved

A

ions are free to move and carry charge

29
Q

describe the structure of a pure metal

A

layers of positive metal ions surrounded by delocalised electrons

30
Q

describe the bonding in a pure metal

A

strong electrostatic forces between metal ions and delocalised electrons

31
Q

what are four properties of pure metals

A

malleable, high melting/boiling points, good conductors of electricity, good conductor of thermal energy

32
Q

explain why pure metals are malleable

A

layers can slide over easily

33
Q

explain why metals have high melting and boiling points

A

electrostatic forces between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons is strong and requires a lot of energy to break

34
Q

why are metals good conductors of electricity and of thermal energy

A

delocalised electrons are free to move through the metal

35
Q

what is an alloy

A

mixture of a metal with atoms of another element

36
Q

explain why alloys are harder than pure metals

A

different sized atoms disturb the layers, preventing them from sliding over each other

37
Q

how big are nano particles

A

1-100 nm

38
Q

how are nanomaterials different from bulk materials

A

nanomaterials have a much higher surface area to volume ratio

39
Q

what is the relationship between side length and surface area to volume ratio

A

as side length decreases by a factor of ten, the surface area to volume ratio increases by a factor of ten

40
Q

what are nano particles used for

A

used in healthcare, electronics, cosmetics, and catalysts
