76
What holds ions of metals together in a metallic bond?
Ions of metals are held together by a sea of delocalised electrons.
77

Electrons are free to move and carry charge.
78

A metallic bond is the attraction between positive ions and delocalised electrons.
79
What are the particles inside a metal?
Particles in a metal are metal ions surrounded by sea of electrons.
80
Explain why metals are good conductors of electricity and heat.
Metals are good conductors of electricity because the delocalised electrons in the metal carry electrical charge through the metal. Metals are good conductors of thermal energy because energy is trnasferred by delocalised electrons.
81
Why do ionic bonds have high melting and boiling points?
A large amount of energy is needed to break the many strong bonds in a giant ionic lattice.
82
Can ionic compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity in the solid state. When melted or dissolved they can conduct because ions are free to move so charge can flow.
83
Which forces are overcome when a covalent substance melts or boils?
The weak intermolecular forces are overcome when a substance melts or boils.
84
Describe the structure and bonding of diamond.
In diamond, each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds with other carbon atoms in a giant covalent structure, so diamond is hard, has a high melting point and does not conduct electricity.
85
Describe the structure and bonding of graphite.
In graphite, each carbon atom forms 3 covalent bonds with three other carbon atoms, forming layers of hexagonal rings which have no covalent bonds between layers. One electron from each carbon atom is delocalised and therefore graphite is a good conductor.
86
Describe the structure and bonding of an alloy.
Alloys are mixtures of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal. The layers become distorted in alloys due to differently sized atoms of the different elements, making the alloy harder because it is less easy for the layers in a metal's giant structure to slip over each other.
87
What is graphene?
Graphene is a single layer of graphite. It is an excellent conductor of thermal energy and electricity, is low density and incredibly strong. These properties make it useful in electronics.
88
What are fullerenes?
Fullerenes are molecules of carbon atoms with hollow shapes, formed from rings of 5, 6 or 7 carbon atoms eg buckminsterfullerene, C60.
89
Give some uses of fullerenes.
Fullerenes can be used as lubricants or catalysts. Cylindrical fullerenes are used to reinforce composite materials for example in tennis rackets or in the electronics industry.
