#1
Front (Question)

What is an element

Back (Answer)

A substance made up of only one type of atom

#2
Front (Question)

What is an isotope

Back (Answer)

Atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers

#3
Front (Question)

What is ionisation

Back (Answer)

When an atom gains or loses electrons to obtain a stable electron arrangement (or charged)

#4
Front (Question)

What is a covalent molecular

Back (Answer)

Separate molecules with weak intermolecular forces between them

#5
Front (Question)

What is an intermolecular force

Back (Answer)

weak forces of attraction that exist between covalent molecules.

#6
Front (Question)

do intermolecular forces need a lot of energy to be overcome

Back (Answer)

no

#7
Front (Question)

what is an ionic lattice

Back (Answer)

an ordered, arrangement of positive and negative ions

#8
Front (Question)

what is electrolysis

Back (Answer)

the process used to break down an ionic compound down into its constituent elements by passing electricity through it

#9
Front (Question)

what is an ionic bond

Back (Answer)

a force of attraction between positive and negative ions

#10
Front (Question)

what is an ionic compound

Back (Answer)

a compound made up of metal and non metal elements

#11
Front (Question)

what is an ionic bond

Back (Answer)

a force of attraction between positive and negative ions

#12
Front (Question)

what is a covalent network

Back (Answer)

a giant network of atoms held together by strong covalent bonds

#13
Front (Question)

do covalent networks need a lot of force to be overcome

Back (Answer)

yes

is iron oxide ionic or covalent

Back (Answer)

ionic (metal + non metal)

#17
Front (Question)

when do ionic bonds form

Back (Answer)

when 2 atoms transfer electrons and become ions

#18
Front (Question)

how do positive ions form

Back (Answer)

when metal atoms lose electrons

#19
Front (Question)

how do negative ions form

Back (Answer)

when non metal atoms gain electrons

low

#22
Front (Question)

what do covalent molecular compounds exist at at room temperature

Back (Answer)

solids, liquids and gas

#23
Front (Question)

are covalent substances insulators

Back (Answer)

yes (except carbon graphite)

#24
Front (Question)

why are covalent substances insulators

Back (Answer)

they are made of atoms and do not have charged particles that are free to move
