Paper 1 Flashcards
(19 cards)
Saturated?
No more solute can dissolve in solvent
Solvent?
Liquid which solute dissolves in
Element?
Only 1 type atom that cannot be split
Mixture?
2 or more elements not chemically combined
Solution?
Mixture of solvent and solute
Ductile?
Can be drawn into a wire``
Why are ionic compounds brittle?
When force applied, ions with same charge end up near each other.
Like charges repel.
Structure falls apart
Only ____ ionic substances conduct due to their delocalised electrons
molten/liquid
Reactivity from most to least
Cl, Br, I
so Cl2 + 2KBr –> 2KCl + Br2
most reactive replaces least reactive
Covalent bonds?
Shared pair of electrons between non-metals
Ionic bonds?
Intermolecular force of attraction with metals and non-metals between the opposite-charged ions when elements transfer electrons
Metallic bonds?
strong electrostatic force of attraction between metal ions and delocalised electrons
Why are metals malleable?
They have layers of metal ions which slide when force applied.
Metallic bonding allows it to change shape without shattering.
Diamond?
Giant covalent structure High melting point Giant tetrahedral structure 1 carbon: 4 others Strong covalent bonds No delocalised e- Not a lubricant
Graphite?
Giant covalent structure High melting point Giant tetrahedral structure 1 carbon: 3 others Strong covalent bonds Delocalised e- (hence 3 not 4) Layers can slide
CO2 and CH4 atoms held by
Weak intermolecular forces
but the C is covalently bonded to the O2 or H4
Tensile strength?
maximum force provided before breaking point
Fullerenes
Drug delivery and lubricants
High conductivity
High tensile strength
Hexagonal Carbon rings
Graphene
1 atom tick
High conductivity
Lubricant for Door locks, Furnaces, brake linings
Conductor for batteries, and powder in microphones
