Question Answer
Ionic Solids Melting Point High Melting point - strong ionic bonds, lots of energy required to break
Ionic Solids structure 3D lattice - strong ionic bonds, ions in fixed positions
Ionic Solids conductivity Do not conduct when solid - ions fixed, no charges free to move Do conduct when molten - ions free to move, lattice structure broken
Ionic Solids malleable Directional bonds - if ions shift like charges repel, latice structure breaks
Ionic Solids solubility Soluble in H20 - polar molecules attract ions, pull out of lattice structure Not soluble in non-polar solution - no attraction
Molecular Solids melting point Low melting point - weak intermolecular forces (between molecules), little energy required to break
Molecular Solids covalent bonds Between atoms - these do not break when melting
Molecular Solids conductivity Do not conduct - no charges
Molecular Solids soft, brittle Weak intermolecular forces - easily broken
Molecular Solids solubility "Like dissolves like" Polar dissolves in polar Non polar dissolves in non polar - weak intermolecular forces which can exist between different molecules
Metal Solids melting point Strong attraction between valence electrons and nuclei of neighbouring atoms - lots of energy required to break
Metal Solids structure 3D lattice - valence electrons attracted to nuclei of neighbouring atoms
Metal Solids malleable Non directional bonds - atoms move without breaking lattice
Metal Solids solubility Not soluble as metallic bonds too strong to overcome - lots of energy needed to break
Covalent Network melting point High melting point - strong covalent bonds, lots of energy required to break
Covalent Network Graphite Properties Trigonal planar - C atom bonded to 3 other C atoms in layers Soft - weak intermolecular forces between layers
Covalent Network Diamond Properties Tetrahedral - C atom bonded to 4 other C atoms (3D arrangement)
Covalent Network Silicon Dioxide Properties Si and O atoms bonded in tetrahedral (3D arrangement)
Collision Theory Particles collide with min activation energy Collide at correct orientation
Increase rate of reaction Increase frequency of collisions Increase portion of collisions with min activation energy
Factors affecting Rate of Reaction Inc. concentration - inc. frequency Inc. surface area - inc. frequency Inc. Temperature - inc. frequency and portion with min Ea
Catalyst Increases rate of reaction without undergoing change Creates alternate path for the reaction to occur Greater portion of collisions with min Ea
Le Chatelier Change made to a system in equilibrium results in a shift of equilibrium in the direction that minimises change
Equilibrium properties Forward/backward reactions at equal rate Reactants and products present Concentrations remain constant
Equilibrium constant affected by... Temperature
How pressure affects equilibrium Inc. in pressure causes shift of equilibrium to side with less gaseous particles
How temperature affects equilibrium Inc. favours endothermic (+ change in H) Dec. favours exothermic (- change in H)
How catalysts affect equilibrium Catalysts do not affect equilibrium
+ change in heat Forwards reaction endothermic Backward reaction exothermic
- change in heat Forward reaction exothermic Backwards reaction endothermic
