1
why do simple covalent molecules have a low melting and bioling point?
They have weak intermolecular forces. these do not require very much to overcome.
2
why do simple covalent molecules not conduct electricity?
they have no free electrons or ions to carry a charge through a substance.
3
Why do ionic substances have a high melting and bioling point?
they have many strong electrostatic attractions between oppositly charged ions. this requires a lot of energy to overcome.
4
why do ionic substances conduct electricity?
when molten or dissolved. this is because ions are free to move and carry charge.
5
why do metallic substances have a high melting point?
many strong electrostatic attraction between positively charged ions and a sea of delocalised electrons requies a lot of energy to overcome.
6
Why do metallic substances conduct electricity
They conduct electricity because electrons in a sea of delocalised ions are free to move and carry charge through the structure.
7
why do metallic substance conduct heat?
beause elections in the sea of delocalised electrons are free to move.
8
are metallic substance malleable and how does alloying change this?
pure metals are malleable. if we introduced another atom/ion that's a different size. the layered structure is disrupted meaning that the layers can no longer slide over each other.
9
why is graphite useful as a lubricant?
is made of layers of carbon atoms which has weak bonds between they layers. the layers can slide over each other easily, this gives graphite the property of being slippery.
10
why does graphite have a high melting point?
there are many strong covalent bonds. which requires a lot of wnergy to overcome.
11
why is graphite useful as an electrode?
each carbon atom has three bonds, this means there is a spare electron per carbon atom. this can carry a charge through the structure.
12
the properties of diamonds
  • hard/strong
  • high melting point
  • does not conduct electricity
13
why is diamonds used as a cutting tools
diamonds are used in cutting tool as its strong and hard - interlocking structure of carbon atom is bonded to each other. doesn't conduct electricity- every carbon atom is bonded to each other. so it has no free electrons to move and carry charge. has ahigh melting point- there are many strong covalent bonds which requires a lot of energy to overcome.
14
the rules of electrolysis
1) cations (+) are discharged at the calthode (-) where they gain electrons. 2) Anions (-) are dishcharged at the anode (+) where they lose electrons 3) If you have a solution (aq) the electrolyte contains H+ ions and OH- ions as well as the elements in a formula 4) In a solution, the least reactive postive ion is the one discharged that the electrode 5) In a solution if you have a halide ion (group 7) it will be the one discharged at the anode 6) if you have a solution and no halide ion, oxygen will be formed from the OH- ion.
15
Examples of half equation
2Cl‐ – 2e‐ —> Cl 2 or Na+ + e- —> Na
16
what is crude oil physically
remains of plankton from million of years ago
17
what is crude oil chemical
a mixture of different hydrocarbons
18
what is the hydrocarbon
a compound made of hydrogen and carbon atoms alone
19
what is fractional distillation at the top
at the top it is cold = flamable, low bioling point, volitile
20
what is fractional distillation at the bottom
it is hot = long hydrocarbons, high boiling point, viscous, not flammable
21
the pollutant gas of carbon mioxide (CO) origin is
incomplete compution
22
the pollutant gas of carbon mioxide (CO) problems is
it is toxic
23
the pollutant gas of carbon dioxide (CO2) origin is
compustion
24
pollutant gas of carbon dioxide (CO2) problems is
causes global warm exaple increasing sea levels
25
pollutant gas of sulphur dioxide (SO2) origin is
buring coal with sulphur impuritice
26
pollutant gas of sulphur dioxide (SO2) problems
it causes acid rain
27
pollutant gas of Nitrogen oxide (NO) origin
inside high temperature of a car engines (diesel)
28
pollutant gas of Nitrogen oxide (NO) problems
causes acid rain, corrosin
29
pollutant gas of Carbon Particulets (C) origin
incomplete combination
30
pollutant gas of Carbon Particulets (C) problems
it causes global dimming
31
four important Alkanes
Methane, Ethane, Propane and Butane
32
what is cracking
high temperature, catalyst = thermal decomposition
33
Acids
have a pH scale is red/ orange. the pH is between 1-6. All the acids contain a H+ ion.
34
important acids to know
HCl, HNO3, H2SO4
35
Alkalis
apart of group 1- Alkali metals. Have a pH scale of blue/ purple. pH 8-14. All alkalis conatin an OH- ion
36
important alkalis to know
NaOH, NH4OH
37
what is the difference between a strong and a weak acid
a strong acids can fully dissociate in water and weaker acids partically dissociate in water
38
Rules for acids and alkali
• hydrochloric acid will always make something chloride. • hydrochloric acid —> _____ Chloride. • Sulfuric acid —> _____ Suphate. • nitric acid —> _____ nitrate.
39
more rules on this
•Metal + acid —> slat + hydrogen (not a neutralisation) • metal carbonate + acid —> salt + water + carbon dioxide • metal oxide/ hydroxide + acid —> salt + water
40
key to know that
water = neutralisation reaction
41
making acids for acids + alkali (e.g sodium hydroxide)
• add alkali to acid drop by drop till neutral - test with Universal indicator paper. • heat gently till crystalising • Leave to crystallise • flture, wash and dry
42
making acids for acids + base (e.g copper oxide)
•add base to acid until in exess. • filter the exess. • heat gently until cystalstaion • leave to crystallise • filter, wash and dry.
43
key particals that are required
• electrolysis • temp change in solutions • making salts
44
Element means
a substance containing one type of atom
45
compound means
a substance containing two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded
46
mixtures means
consists of a differnet substances NOT chemically bonded
47
what is the charge and mass of a proton
mass = 1 and charge = +1
48
what is the charge and mass of a neutron
mass = 1 and charge =0
49
what is the charge and mass of a
mass = 0 and change = -1
50
