Conducts electricity when in solution, but not when solid
Regular lattice structure
Strong attraction between ions
Covalent
Share electrons
Each covalent bond provides
each atom with one extra
electron
EXAMPLES
Water (H20)
HYDROGEN (H2)
AMMONIA (NH3)
TWO TYPES
Molecular substances
STRONG bonds to form SMALL molecules
WEAK attraction between molecules
LOW melting point
EXAMPLE: Oxygen
Giant structures
ALL atoms bonded together by STRONG bonds
HIGH Melting points
DON'T conduct electicity
EXAMPLE: Diamond
Materials
ALLOYS - Different
sized atoms displace
layers of metal atoms,
meaning they cant
slide over eachother,
making allows harder
than normal metals.
METALLIC STRUCTURES
Free electrons
Regular structure
Nanoparticles
Fullerens (Bucky Balls)
Made of carbon
atoms
Nanotubes
Polymers
Strong covalent
bonds hold the atoms
together in chains
Thermosoftening - No cross linking
chains, weak attraction between
chain, easy to melt and can be
remoulded as many times as you like
Thermosetting -
Crosslinks between the
chains, holding them
together in solid
structure. Tough, hard
and rigid
Atoms!
TOP number is Atomic Mass
BOTTOM number is number of protons
ISOTOPES are atoms with THE SAME
amount on protons, and DIFFERENT
amounts of neutrons
RELATIVE FORMULA
MASS is all the relative
atomic masses of all
the atoms in that
compound added
together
2B - Reaction Rates, Salts and Electrolysis
Measuring ROR
Amount of reactant used
or amount of product
formed DIVIDED BY time
Precipitation -
When a solution
becomes cloudy -
the faster it
becomes cloudy,
that faster the
ROR
Change in mass (usually gas given off) - Do
your gassy reaction on some scales, the
faster the mass drops, the faster the
reaction, this is very accurate and easy to
measure
Volume of gas given off -
Measured by a gas syringe,
the more gas given off in a
given amount of time, the
faster the reaction.
Collision Theory
Higher temperature, concentration and surface
area increase the number of collisions between
particles, speeding up the rate of reaction
Catalysts
A catalyst is a substance which
speeds up a reaction without being
changed or used up in the reaction.
These can reduce costs in industry!
Energy Transfer in Reactions
Exothermic releases heat
Combustion
Neutralisation
reactions (acid and
alkali)
Endothermic takes in heat
Much less common
Thermal decomposition, eg heat
must be added to make calcium
carbonate decompose to make
quicklime CaCO3 --> CaO + CO2
Acids and Alkalis
Acids and Bases neutralise eachother
Metal Oxides and Hydroxides are bases
Alkali is a base that dissolves in water
Acid + Base = Salt + Water
Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen
Electrolysis
"Splitting up with electricity"
Passing current through
ionic solution splits up
the ions, positive ions
going to the Cathode,
and negative ions
going to the Anode.
PANIC - Positive Anode, Negative Is Cathode
REDUCTION is the GAIN of electrons
OXIDATION is the LOSS of electrons
OIL RIG - Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain
Reduction happens on the Cathode
Oxidation happens on the Anode
Used to extract Aluminium from its ore
Cryolite is used to lower the temperature (and the costs)
Electroplating
Replace the cathode with something to
be electroplated, and is will be coated in
a layer of the metal ions in the
electrolyte
Used with Silver (jewellery)
Used with Copper (Electronics)
ROR depends on 4 Things
Temperature
Concentration
Catalyst
Surface area
KEY
ROR - Rate of Reaction
EXAMPLE
Ar - Atomic Mass
Mr - Formula mass
IMPORTANT
Calculations
% mass of an element
in a compound
Ar MULTIPLIED BY No. of atoms (of the element)
THEN DIVIDE BY Mr (Of whole compound )
THEN MULTIPLY BY 100
Empirical Formula
Look it up, it wont fit into this mind map...
Percentage yield =
Actual yield DIVIDED
BY predicted yield
