Pregunta Respuesta
What is a compound? A substance in which two or more elements are chemically combined
What does chemical bonding involve? Either transferring or sharing electrons in the highest occupied shells of atoms in order to become stable
What is formed by transferring electrons? Ions
What is formed when you lose electrons? Positively charged ions
What is formed when you gain electrons? Negatively charged ions
Ions have the electronic structure of... a noble gas (group 0)
The elements in Group 1, the (a), all react with (b) elements to form (c) in which the metal ion has a single (d) charge a) alkali metals b) non-metal c) ionic compounds d) positive
The elements in Group 7, the (a), all react with the (b) metals to form (c) in which the halide ions have a single (d) charge a) halogens b) alkali c) ionic compounds d) negative
What is an ionic bond? The strong electrostatic force of attraction between two oppositely charged ions
In ionic bonding the forces.... ...act in all different directions in the lattice
What is covalent bonding? The sharing of electrons between two non-metals
What is a macromolecule? A giant covalent structure that contains a large number of atoms
True or false: metals consist of giant structures of atoms arranged in an irregular structure False. Metals consist of giant structures of atoms arranged in a regular structure
Why can metals conduct electricity? The electrons in the outer shell of metal atoms are delocalised and thus free to move
Substances that consist of simple molecules are gases, liquids or solids that have relatively ________ melting and boiling points low
Substances that consist of simple molecules have.... ...weak intermolecular forces (which are overcome when the substance melts or boils)
Why do substances that consist of simple molecules not conduct electricity? Because the molecules do not have an overall charge
Why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points? There are lots of electrostatic forces between the ions which are very strong and thus require a large amount of energy to break the bonds
Why can ionic compounds only conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water? The ions are free to move and carry the current
Give an example of giant covalent structures Diamond/graphite/silicon dioxide
Why do macromolecules have high boiling points? The atoms are linked by strong covalent bonds
Why is diamond very hard? Each carbon atom forms 4 covalent bonds with other carbon atoms in a giant covalent structure
Why is graphite soft and slippery? Each carbon atom bonds to 3 others, forming layers. The layers are free to slide over each other because there are no covalent bonds between the layers
Why can graphite conduct electricity? One electron form each carbon atom is delocalised
What is a fullerene? Molecules made up entirely of carbon in the shape of a sphere or a tube
What can fullerenes be used for? Drug delivery into the body, in lubricants, as catalysts and in nanotubes for reinforcing materials e.g. in tennis rackets
Why are metals malleable? The atoms are arranged in layers which means the atoms can slide over each other
What is an alloy? A compound of two or more elements, usually metals
Why are alloys harder than pure metals? The different sized atoms of the metals distort the layers in the structure, making it more difficult to slide over each other
What is a shape memory alloy? A material that when heated to a certain temp, will return to its original shape
Thermosoftening polymers consist of... Thermosetting polymers consist of... ...individual, tangled polymer chains ...polymer chains with cross-links, so they do not melt
One nanometre is.. ... 1x10^-9m
The mass of a proton = ? The mass of a neutron = ? The mass of an electron = ? 1 1 very small
What is the mass number? The total number of protons and neutrons
What is an isotope? Atoms of an element with the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons
What is meant by the term 'relative atomic mass'? The comparison of the mass of atoms of the element compared to the carbon-12 isotope
What is the relative formula mass of a compound? The relative atomic mass of an element is the mass of one atom of that element compared to an atom of carbon-12. It is an average value for the isotopes of that element
What is one mole of a substance? The relative formula mass of a substance in grams
Advantages of instrumental methods of analysis Accurate Sensitive Rapid Useful for tiny amounts of a substance
What is chemical analysis used to identify? Additives in food
What can paper chromatography identify? Artificial colours
Explain the process of gas chromatography 1. Different substances 2. carried by a gas 3. travel through a column packed with a solid material at different speeds 4. so that they become separated
What do the number of peaks on the output of a gas chromatograph show? The number of compounds present
What does the position of the peaks on the output indicate? The retention time
Advantages of a mass spectrometer Fast Accurately Can detect very small quantities
What gives the molecular mass? The molecular ion peak
What does gas chromatography allow? The separation of a mixture of compounds
What can help identify a substance in GC-MS? The time taken for a substance to travel through the column
What is the equation to find the percentage of an element in a compound?
Reasons for less than 100% yield 1. the reaction may be reversible 2. some of the product may be lost when separated 3. some reactants may react in ways that weren't expected
Equation for percentage yield
Equation to find rate of reaction Rate of reaction = amount of reactant used/time or Rate of reaction = amount of product formed/time
What is activation energy? The minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur
What effect does increasing the temp have on a reaction? It increases the speed of the reacting particles so that they collide more frequently and more energetically - increases rate of reaction
What effect does increasing the pressure of reacting gases have on a reaction? It increases the frequency of collisions and so the rate of reaction
What effect does increasing the concentration have on a reaction? It increases the frequency of collisions and so the rate of reaction
What effect does increasing the surface area have on a reaction? It increases the frequency of collisions and so the rate of reaction
What is a catalyst? A substance which speeds up a reaction, without being changed or used up in a reaction
Advantages of catalysts in industry Saves money Saves energy (work at lower temps) Never get used up
Disadvantages of catalysts in industry Expensive to buy Can only catalyse one type of reaction Catalysts can be 'poisoned' by impurities and stop working
When chemical reactions occur, energy is __________ to or from the surroundings transferred
What is an exothermic reaction? One that transfers energy TO the surroundings
