Q

Melting and Boiling Point of Simple compounds in relation to Molecular Mass:

A

As the relative molecular mass of a substance increases, the melting and boiling point will increase as well (positive correlation).
An increase in the relative molecular mass of a substance means that there are more covalent bonds in the structure, so there are more intermolecular forces of attraction that need to be broken down.
So larger amounts of heat energy are needed to overcome these forces, causing the compound to have a higher melting and boiling point

Q

Melting and Boiling Point of Simple compounds in relation to Molecular Mass:

A

The relative molecular mass of a substance and the melting and boiling point are directly Proportional

An increase in the relative molecular mass of a substance means that there are more covalent bonds in the structure, so there are more intermolecular forces of attraction that need to be broken down.

So larger amounts of heat energy are needed to overcome these forces, causing the compound to have a higher melting and boiling point

Properties of Carbon?

A

Hard

Each carbon atom is joined to four other carbon atoms, forming a giant covalent structure.
Strong covalent bonds are difficult to break.
High Melting and Boiling Point

Giant Covalent Structure so there are many strong covalent bonds that needs to be broken down.
Large amounts of heat energy is needed to overcome forces and break down bonds.
Does not Conduct Electricity

All four valence (outer-shell) electrons are used in covalent bonds so there are no delocalised electrons that are mobile to conduct electricity

Q

Properties of Graphite

A

Properties:

Soft and Slippery

Graphite is made up of two-dimensional layers of carbon atoms, which are held by weak van der Waal’s forces, lie on top of each other.

Forces of attraction between the layers are weak so the layers easily slide over one another and can easily be separated.

High Melting and Boiling Point

Within each layer, each carbon atom forms strong covalent bonds with three other carbon atoms in a giant covalent structure so there are many strong covalent bonds that needs to be broken down
Large amounts of heat energy is needed to overcome forces and break down bonds.

Conducts Electricity

Only three valence electrons are used in forming covalent bonds
Fourth electron is delocalised between the layers and free to move parallel to the layers to conduct an electric charge.
Uses:

Lubricant
Electrodes for Electrolysis

Q

Properties of Fullerene?

A

Soft

Each carbon atom is joined to only three other carbon atoms so there are weak intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules.

Intermolecular bonds can be broken down easily making it soft.

Low Melting and Boiling Point

Each carbon atom is joined to only three other carbon atoms.

This means that there are weak intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules.

So small amounts of heat energy is needed to overcome forces and break down bonds.

Conducts Electricity

Only three valence electrons are used in forming covalent bonds.
Fourth electron is delocalised and is free to move to conduct an electric charge.

Uses:

Drug Delivery System in the Body (Nanotubes)
Lubricant

Q

Explain the bonding of metallics?

A

Metal atoms are held strongly to each other by metallic bonding.

In the metal lattice, the atoms lose their valence electrons and become positively charged.

The valence electrons no longer belong to any metal atom and are said to be delocalised.

They move freely between the metal ions like a sea of electrons.

Q

How to conduct an experiment of electrolysis of lead bromide?

A

Add Lead (II) Bromide into a beaker and heat so it will turn molten, allowing ions to be free to move to conduct an electric charge.

Add two graphite rods as the electrodes and connect this to a power pack or battery.

Turn on power pack or battery and allow electrolysis to take place.

Negative bromide ions move to the positive electrode (anode) and lose two electrons to form bromine molecules. There is bubbling at the anode as brown bromine gas is given off.

Positive lead ions move to the negative electrode (cathode) and gain electrons to form a grey lead metal that deposits on the surface of the electrode.

Q

How to find the products of Aqueous Electrolysis

A

An investigation into the products formed at each electrode can be done:
If a solid forms around the electrode, the metal ions have been deposited. Colour can give away what metal.
If the gas produced at the cathode burns with a ‘pop’ when a sample is lit with a lighted splint. This shows that the gas is hydrogen.
If the gas produced at the anode relights a glowing splint dipped into a sample of the gas. This shows that the gas is oxygen.

46
Observations when Na reacts with Water?

48
What happens when Caesium is reacted with Water?

49
Trend of Reactivity in Group 1?
Reactivity of group 1 metals increases as you go down the group. Each outer shell contains only one electron, when group 1 metals react, they will lose one outer electron to get a full outer shell of electrons. As you go down group 1, the number of shells of electrons increases by 1 (period number increases down the periodic table). This means that the outer electron is further away from the nucleus so there are weaker electrostatic forces of attraction. This requires less energy to overcome the electrostatic forces of attraction between the negatively charged electron and the positively charged nucleus. This allows the electron to be lost easily, making it more reactive as you go down the group.

Why are Alloys hard?
Alloys are often harder than pure metal as they contain atoms of different sizes, which distorts the regular arrangements of atoms This makes it more difficult for the layers to slide over each other, making it harder and stronger than pure metal (atoms in pure metals are the same size in regular arrangement so can slide over each other easily).

How does an increase in surface area increase the rate of reaction?
Increase in the surface area of the solid, the rate of reaction will increase. This is because more surface area particles will be exposed to the other reactant so there will be more frequent and successful collisions, increasing the rate of reaction.
