Simple Molecular e.g. H20, CO2 | Giant Covalent e.g. Diamond, Graphite, Fullerene
28
Is the melting/boiling point of simple molecular structures high or low?
Low Melting and Boiling points as small amounts of energy are needed to overcome the weak intermolecular forces that exist between adjacent compounds
29

In general simple molecular compound, e.g. CO2 does not conduct electricity
30
What types Of Giant Covalent Network structures are there
Diamond, Graphite and Fullerene
31
What are Diamond, Graphite and Fullerene made from
Carbon atoms only
32
Explain the structure of a diamond in a Giant Covalent Network
Each carbon atoms forms a covalent bond with 4 oher carbon atoms. this generates a giant network of carbon atoms
33
Properties of Diamond in terms of Melting Point
The Melting and Boiling Point of Diamond is high because high amounts of energy is needed to overcome the weak intermolecular forces that exist between adjacent compounds
34
Properties of Diamond in terms of Toughness
Diamond is Tough because the covalent bonds are very strong
35
Properties of Diamond in terms of conductivity
Diamond does not conduct electricity as it does not have any available delocalised electrons to conduct a current
36
Explain the structure of Graphite in Covalent Bonding
Each Carbon atom forms a covalent bond with 3 other carbon atoms. because of this it will have free electrons that will become delocalised
37
Properties of Graphite in terms of conductivity
Can conduct electricity as the delocalised electrons are free to move in between the layers/ sheets of carbon atoms
38
Explain the structure of Fullerene
Molecular Structure - C60, forms a hollowsphere
39
Properties of Fullerene in terms of Conductivity
Fullerene does not Conduct electricty because it has no free delocalise electrons.
40
Properties of Fullerene in terms of Melting and Boiling points
High melting and Boiling points as the c-c bonds are strong and as it forms a giant covalent network.
41
Properties of Metals in terms of conductivity
Can conduct electricity since they have free delocalised electrons that can move to generate a current. They can also conduct heat
42
Properties of Metals in terms of malleability and ductility
Metals are malleable and ductile as they have layers of positive metal ions that can slide over each other
43
Properties Of Metals in terms of Melting and Boiling point
Metals have a high melting and boiling point because the electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged metal ions and the sea of delocalised electrons is so strong that a lot of energy is required to break this bond therefore having a high melting and boiling point
44
How does Metallic Bonding occur
Electrons become delocalised from metal atom generating metal ions due to imbalance of electrons and protons within the metal ion
45
Definition Of Metallic Bonding
Metallic Bonding refers to the electrostatic attraction between the sea of negatively charged delocalised electrons and the positively charged metal ions.
46

55
What is Crude Oil made up of
Crude Oil is a mixture of different hydrocarbons of different chainlengths
56
Why do all Group 1 elements react in the same way
This is because they have one electron in the outer shell
57
What is the order of reactivity in Group 1
As you descend in Group 1 reactivity increases this is because the size of the atom increases and therefore the number of electron shells surrounding the positively charged nucleus increases protecting the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged nucleus the negatively charged outer electron. This makes it easier for the outer electron to be transferred in reactions
58
One way to identify the order of reactivity is by (Group 1)
Alkali metal + Water -> Metal Hydroxide + Hydrogen Hydrogen -> Squeaky Pop test To carry out this test use a lighted splint and place it above the chamber in which the reaction has taken place
59
What are Group 7 elements regarded as
Halogens
60
What is the state of Cl at room temp
Cl is a green reactive and poisonous gas
61
What is the state of Bromine at room temp
Br is a poisonous red-brown liquid that produces orange vapour
62
What is the state of Iodine at room temp
forms a dark grey crystalline solid that produces purple vapour
63
What is the trend in the Boiling Point in the group (Group 7)
Boiling Point increases as you go down the group. This is because the size of the atom increases
64
What is the trend of reactivity in group 7
As you descend down the group reactivity decreases, this is because the size of the atom increaaes and the amount of electron shells protecting the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negative charged external electron increases. This makes it much more difficult for the halogen to attract an electron and therefore react in a chemical reaction
65
What is a Displacement Reaction
A displacement reaction is where a more reactive element pushes out a less reactive element from a compound
66
What are the three states of matter
Solid Liquid Gas
67
Describe the arrangement of a Solid

70
What are Isotopes?
Atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons (Same atomic number but different RAM)
71
What is the trend of Group 7 halogens in the group? In terms of Boiling Point?
Boiling Points of the halogens increase as you descend down the group. We know this as Fluorine and Chlorine are gases at room temperature, bromium is liquid at room temperature and iodine and astatatine are both solids at room temperature.
72
What is the trend of Group 7 halogens in the group in terms of reactivity?
The order of reactivity descends as you go down the group because the size of the atom increases. Therefore the number of shells protecting the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged external electrons decreases. This makes it much more difficult for the halogen to accept the external electron and therefore to participate in a chemical reaction.

102
What Metals can we add acid to in order to find their reactivity? And why can we not use acid to find out other metals reactivity?
K, Li, Na and Al. We cant use acid to find out the reaction of other metals as other metals wont be able to react with acid at all meaning that we will not be able to determine which metal out of the metals that have no reaction with acid are more reactive.

110
What is one way of gaining a reactive metal? and what is another way of gaining an unreactive metal
Seperation as they form compounds | Non reactive metals can be dug up
111
Why is it worse for a company to try and dig up a reactive metal?
The more reactive a metal is, the harder it is to extract it from its compound as the electrostatic force off attraction between the ionic compound or metallic compound is so strong that it requires a lot of energy to break.
112
What can we use as a reducing agent if metals are found in their oxide form? What is the equation shown for this?
Carbon (reducing agent) | 2CuO + C --> Co2 + 2Cu
113
Why cant Carbon be used all the time for the extraction of metals? What are some examples of Metals that cant be displaced by Carbon?
Some metals are more reactive than carbon so therefore carbon cant displace the metal. Eg: K, Na, Ca, Mg and Al
114
What can we do instead of displacement reactions in order to gain the metal that is more reactive than carbon?
Electrolysis
115
How does electrolysis work?
In electrolysis youll have a tank filled with an ionic compound that you wish to extract (Molten) as well as a cathode and an anode. Since Cathodes are PAWsitive ions the Cations willl move towards the negative elctrode (cathode). Since Anions are negatively charged ions, Anions move towards the positive electrode (Anode). Then electrons flow across the Anode to the Cathode making the Cation reduced to form an Atom. The atom then sinks to the bottom of the electrolysis to be scraped.
