   1. Structure Bonding and properties of 2D networks

      Anotações:

      • Molecular solid  Amde up of Molecules   Covalent Bonds  Strong bonds Soft- not hard  Brittle  Not Ductile  Insulator- does not conduct  High melting point  Insoluble- due to strong bonds 
      1. High Melting Point

         Anotações:

         • 2 dimensional networks have high melting points. Melting a 2 dimensional network solid involves breaking the strong covalent bonds that hold atoms together. 
         1. Conductive

            Anotações:

            • 2Dnetworks are electrical conductors as each atom bonds to 3 other atoms.Therefore each carbon atom provides a deloicalised electron that is able to carry a charge through the solid 
            1. Insoluble

               Anotações:

               • Both one dimensional and two dimensional networks are large uncharged molecules and have weak attractions to water molecules so they are insoluble in polar solvents. 
               1. Soft and Slippery

                  Anotações:

                  • Eg Graphite has a soft and slippery feel because sheets of graphite can move over each other due to the weak intermolecular forces holding the sheets together
   2. Structure and bonding of 3D Covalent Networks

      Anotações:

      • Diamond (an allotrope of carbon) and silicon dioxide are two common examples of 3D dimensional covalent networks. They have similar properties due to their bonding and structure. 
      1. High melting point

         Anotações:

         • High Melting points:- Strong covalent bonds holding the atoms together so high heat is required. 
         1. Not Conductive

            Anotações:

            • There are no free charged particles within the network to conduct therefore it is an electrical insulator 
            1. Insoluble

               Anotações:

               • -Insoluble because the forces of attarction between the atoms of the molecule are greater than that between the atoms and solvent molecules. 
               1. Hard

                  Anotações:

                  • They are very hard due to the 3 dimensional tetrahedral arangement of the atoms covalently bonded to each other. 
      2. Fullerenes

         Anotações:

         • Carbon atoms are bonded to 3 others. Delocalised electron. Relatively recent discovery. Forms a spherical ball shape.

            1. Electrically Conductive

               Anotações:

               • Carbon Atoms are covalently bonded to 3 others leaving a delocalised electron that is able to carry an electrical current. Their hollow structure allows other atoms to be house dwithin them (called doping). This has many potential uses including using them as low temepratre super conductors. 
               1. Soft and Slippery

                  Anotações:

                  • In a solid form they are discrete molecules that are able to move past neighbouring molecules.

   3. 1D Covalent Netwtorks (Linear Chains)

      Anotações:

      • Carbon polymers form long linear chains.  Eg polyethene molecules 
      1. Low Melting Point

         Anotações:

         • Neighbouring chains are held together with weak intermolecular forces. Only a small amount of energy is required to seperate the chains and therefore change their state.  However the longer the carbon chain the greater the forces of attraction therefore melting point increases as chain length increases 
         1. Not condictive

            Anotações:

            • 1D carbon chains are electricl insulators as there are no free charged particles in the molecule

Anotações:

• -Metals can be found on the left hand side of the periodic table. -some examples include iron aluminium, and copper -All metals have partially fixed shells. -Metals have a lot of use in industry and society due to their useful properties. 

1. Structure

   Anotações:

   • All metals share a smiliar structure Metals are poitively chatged as they contain  Positively charged metal nuclei are arranged into a lattice-The nuclei form a regular pattern in 3 dimensions. -Each metal atom provides one or more valence electrons that are delocalised: free to move throughout the lattice -The delocalised electrons are attracted to the positively charged nuclei. 
   1. Metallic Bonding

      Anotações:

      • Metallic bonding is strong electrostatic attraction between positively charged nuclei and the 'sea' of delocalised valence eletrons that surround them The bonding is desribed as non directional as the nuclei and delocalised valence electrons experience attractive forces in all directions.
      1. Conductivity

         Anotações:

         •  Because the valence electrons are free to move throughout the metal lattice they are able to carry an electrical current.  Therefore all metals have high electrical conductivity. Metals are able to condict in solid and liquid form. Copper is used for electrical wiring in housesAluminium is used to costruct high voltage cables. gold is used for electrical connectors in electronic devices such as cellphones and computers. 
         1. Malleability

            Anotações:

            • Describes how metals are able to be shaped using force. Unlike ionic substances that shatter with sufficient force, particles within metals are able to move past one another and remain strongly bonded together. When the metal nuclei are forced into a new position they still expereince strong electrostatic bonding to the 'sea' of valence electrons due to the non-directional nature of the bonds. 
            1. Ductility

               Anotações:

               • Describes how metals are able to be drawn into thin wires 
               1. Hardness

                  Anotações:

                  • Hardness is the property of a metal that gives it the ability to resist being permanently deformed (bent, having its shape change or being broken) when a force is applied.
                  1. Solubility

                     Anotações:

                     • Metals are insoluble in any type of solvent. The metallic bond is too strong to be overcome by the attractive forces between the solvent and the particles that make up a metal. 
                     1. Melting points

                        Anotações:

                        • Metals have relatively high melting points due to the nature of the metallic bond. There are strong forces of attraction between the delocalised electrons and the positive nuclei of the atoms. These forces of attraction are difficult to overcome.   Eg: Aluminium 660       Copper 1083       Silver 961       Gold 1063        Nickel 1455

Anotações:

• *Molecular substances consist of 2 or more atoms joined by covalent bonds. *Almost always made up of non metal atoms, found on the right hand side of the periodic table, eg Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen etc.  

1. Covalent Bonds

   Anotações:

   • *A  chemical bond formed when 2 non-metal atoms share a pair of electrons. *Convalent intermolecular bonds are very strong bonds that hold the atoms together within a molecule. *Arise from the sharing of a pair or pairs of valence electrons in order to achieve a full valence shell.
2. Shapes of Molecules

   Anotações:

   • Lone pairs and covalent bonds are made up of electrons. These negatively charged areas repel each other and will move around until they find an orientation with equally repulsive forces from adjacent electrons. Therefore the shape of a molecule is governed by the arrangement of the electron pairs around the central atom. You must consider both the bonded and unbonded pairs of electrons. There are 6 basic shapes. 
   1. Tetrahedral

      Anotações:

      • 4 regions of negative charge around the central atom. All regions bonded. Bond angle of 109°

   2. Determining the shape
      1. Lews Diagrams

         Anotações:

         • Show only the valence electrons that occurr in that atom. Remebering that the number of valence electrons is deterined from the elements atomic number. 
3. Electronegativity

   Anotações:

   • A measure of an atoms tnedency to attrcat electrons to itself. Metal atoms have low electronegativity Electon in group 17 have high electronegativity and strongly attrat their valence and bonding electrons. 
   1. Polar and Non polar bonds

      Anotações:

      • Polar covalent bonds are a covalent bond between 2 stoms at different electronagativity, The electrons in the bond ar enot shared equally between the atoms.  Non polar covalent bonds are a covalent bond between two atoms of the same electronegativity. he electrons in the bond are shared equally between the atoms. 
      1. Polarity of Molecules

         Anotações:

         • The polarity of molecules depends on wether the molecule contains polar bonds and the arrangement of these bonds  Carbon dioxide is a molecule with a polar C-O bond due to the difference in electronegativity between different C and O atoms. However because this molecule is linear and symmetrical the effect of these polar bonds cancel out and the molecule is therefore non polar 
         1. Solubility

            Anotações:

            • The rule 'Like dissolves like' describes the fact that Polar molecules will dissolve in polar solvents an non polar molecules will dissolve in Non polar solvents. Insoluble molecules are immiscible meaning that they are unable to form one continous mixture when mixed  
            1. Melting and Boiling points

               Anotações:

               • Covalent Bonds occuring inside molecules are intramolecular. Th eattractive forces between neighbouring molecules are called intermolecular forces.These are relatively weak and so they only need a small amount of heat energy input to break the weak bonds holding molecules together. For this reason Molecules have relatively low melting and boiling points.  
               1. As Insulators

                  Anotações:

                  • -Moleculare substances are electrical insulators They consist of atoms bonded tightly by covalent bonds.  There are no free ions or electrons available to carry/ conduct an electrical current. 

Anotações:

• *Positive ions are called Cations  *Negative ions are called anions. *When anions bond with cations this creates an ionic compound. *The ions within these are arranged in a 3D lattice with each cation surrounded by anions and vice versa. *The lattice is held together by forces of attraction between the + and - called an electrostatic force. 

1. Melting Points

   Anotações:

   • Ionic substances have high melting points. The strong electrostatic forces holding anions and cations together are not easily overcome. They require a lot of heat energy to break the lattice. The same goes for ionic boiling points. 
   1. Solubility

      Anotações:

      • Ions are charged particles that are attracted elecyrostaticly to polar solvents, most commonly water. The negative charged region of the solvent will be attracted to the cations of the Ionic molecule and vice versa with Anions. Solvents that are non polar will not dissolve Ionic substances. Substances with a very high lattice energy 
      1. Conductivity

         Anotações:

         • *Ionic substances are able to conduct electricity only when the ions from which they are made are free to move. *As solids the ions are fixed in place. *Dissolving an ionic substance in a solvent like water frees the ions *Meaning Solutions of ionic substances will condict electricity.
         1. Hardness

            Anotações:

            • Ionic compounds are very hard due to their closely-packed 3D lattice structure and relatively strong ionic bonds between the charged ions. Diamond and Aluminium Oxide are examples of very strong Ionic Compounds.  
            1. Brittleness

               Anotações:

               • Ionic solids are brittle meaning they do not deform when a force is applied to them .They maintain their shape until the force exceeds the strength of the ionic bonds holding the ions in place. Then they shatter. 
      2. Lattice energy

         Anotações:

         • *The amount of energy needed to break the lattice structure is called Lattice energy.  *As the lattice energy increases the solubility ionic compound decreases  *Because amount of energy required to seperate the ions will be greater. This means some ionic substances are insoluble.  
2. Polyatomic Ions

   Anotações:

   • Ions made of more than one atom are called plyatomic ions.  Know the following-  NH4+ = ammonium OH- =Hydroxide NO3- = NitrateHCO3- = Hydrogen Carbonate SO42- = Sulfate CO32- = Carbonate 
3. Ionic Bonds

   Anotações:

   • A chemical bond found in Ionic substances that is formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (Cations and Anions)
   • Cation, usually a metal atom that has lost one or more electrons has a positive charge.  Anion, usually a non metal atom or group of atoms that Cl2 + 2Na= 2NaCl

Anotações:

• Chemical reactions involve the breaking and formation fo chemical bonds. The general rule is that energy is Absorbed in the breaking of chemical bonds and energy is released when bonds are formed. 

1. Exothermic Reactions

   Anotações:

   • Reactions that release heat. the energy required tobreak the bonds in the reactants is exceeded by thr energy released when chemical bonds are formed in the product(s) The reaction between Hydrogen Gas and oxygen is exothermic . Energy is absorbed to break the 2 hydrogen binds linking hydrogen atoms and the 2 bond linking the oxygen atoms. Energy is released when the water molecules form. 4 covalent bonds forming between Hydrogen and oxygen atoms release more energy than is required to break the bonds in the reactants. This excess energy is released into the environment. 
   1. Endothermic Reactions

      Anotações:

      • Can be considered the opposite to exothermic . They absorb energy from the environemtn in which they happen to break bonds. More energy is required to break that bonds in the water molecules than is released when the reactants form. The excess energy is 'stored' in the chemical bonds of the reactants and can be released when hydrogen is burned as a fuel.  
      1. Enthalpy

         Anotações:

         • A term used to describe the energy within a chemical system.  It cannot be measured directly so we instead discuss 'energy changes' within chemical reactions. Energy diagrams show the change in enthalpy for a specific chemical reaction. 
         1. Breaking Bonds

            Anotações:

            • When a substance changes its state its because chemical bonds between the particles of the substance have been either weakened or strengthened. Melting and evaporating are endothermic as energy is absorbed to weaken the bonds.  Condensing and solidifying are exothermic processes as energy is released to strengthen the bonds.  
            1. Bond Enhalpy

               Anotações:

               •  The energy needed to break the covalent bonds in gaseous molecules in known as bond enthalpy. 
               1. Mass , Moles and Molar mass

                  Anotações:

                  • n=m/M       M=m/n       m= nxM n= no. of moles (mol) m= mass (g) M=Molar mass (g mol-1)These formula can be used to calculat ethe number of moles in a known mass of a substance Eg: ------------>
                  • Calculate the number of moles in 128g of Methane (CH4)  M(CH4)= 1C (12.0) + 4H(4) = 16.0 gmol-1  n=m/M n= 128/16 n=8 moles  

Anotações:

• Atoms of a chemical element can exist in different forms. These are called isotopes. They have the same atomic number but a different mass number. Same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.
