C3 Structure And Bonding Flashcards

1
Q

What is an intermolucaler force

A

A force between molocules, they are weak and easy to break therefore have a low boilingnpoint and melting point

Q

What is the difference between giant and simple covalant bonds

A

Simple molecules which contain a set number of atoms are joined by covalant bonds however giant covalant substances contain many atoms and are joined by covalant bonds aswell

Q

Why can metals conduct electricity

A

Because they have a sea of delocalised electrons meaning electricity can flow through it

Q

Why do metals have high melting points

A

Because the cations are strongly attracted to the anions meaning more energy is needed to break these bonds

Q

Why are metals good conductors of thermal energy in terms of their structure and bonding

A

Because the electeons are delocalised, the electrons can move freely meaning energy can be transferred essily through the atoms

Q

What happens when an element from group 1 and 7 react (electronic structure)

A

The group 1 wants to lose an electron to gain a full outer shell ans group 7 wants to gain an wlwctron for a full outer shell so the group 1 element shares an electron with the group 7 to complete the full outer shells

Q

What are thee main properies of graphite

A

High melting and boiling points, good electrical conductivity, soft

17
Q

Why does graphite have high melting and boiling points

A

Graphites has many covalent bonds and they are strong therefore lots of energy is needed to break them

18
Q

Why does graphite have good electrical conductivity

A

A sea of delocalised electrons so electrons can move freely through it.

19
Q

Why is graphite soft

A

Geaphite has week forces between layers which let them slide

20
Q

What are the main properties of diamond

A

Has very high melting point, very hard, doesnt conduct electricity

21
Q

How do you do paper chromotagrophy

A

Draw a line near the bottom of the filter paper with pencil. Add a spot of ink to the line and place paper in the beaker of solvent without the ink touching the solvent. The solvent is what is being tested. Place a lid on and watch each different dye in the ink move up the paper at different rates and the dyes will spread out. Each dye will form a different spot in a different place. If any dyes are insolube they wont rise. When the solvent has nearly reached the top of the paper take it out of the beaker and leave it to dry.

22
Q

What is the name of the pattern of spots called in chromotagrophy

A

Chromatogram

23
Q

What is an ionic bond

A

A bond formed when a metal and a non-metal react with eachother

24
Q

Two ways sodium chloride can be made to conduct electricity

A

Put in water
Melted into a liquid

25
Q

What dies paper chromotagrophy test

A

Seperates and identifies unknown amino acids

26
Q

What is complete combustion

A

A chemical reaction that occurs in an unlimted amount of oxygen and reacts fully with oxygen

27
Q

What is incomplete combustion

A

A chemical reaction where the supply of oxygen is poor so it doesnt fully react with oxygen

28
Q

What does Ph mean

A

A figure exxpressing acidity or alkanility of a solution. Range is from 0-14. pH7 is nuteral, the lower you go the more acidic. The higher the pH is the less acidic
