Card preview (17)

#1
Front (Question)

what is the difference between cations and anions

Back (Answer)

anion- is when an atom gains electrons, therefore it is a negative ion cation- is when an atom looses electrons, therefore a positive ion

#2
Front (Question)

what is an ion

Back (Answer)

is an atom or group of atoms with a positive or negative charge

#3
Front (Question)

relationship between group number and charge of ion

Back (Answer)

firstly all metals have a positive charge group 1- +1 group 2- +2 transtion metals- changes group 3- +3 (only aluminium and galium) group 4- transtion metals group 5- -3 group 6- -2 group 7- -1 group 8- 0

#4
Front (Question)

what is an ionic bond

Back (Answer)

strong electrostatic attraction between opositely charged ions

#5
Front (Question)

know how to draw dot and cross diagrams between ionic

Back (Answer)

YES

#6
Front (Question)

what are the properties of ionic compounds

Back (Answer)

high melting and boiling point good electrical conductivity when aqueos or molten because electrons are free to move carrying charge vs when solid electrons cant move

#7
Front (Question)

what is an ionic lattice

Back (Answer)

ionic compound millions of ions packed together in a regular cubic arrangement joined by ionic bonds, with alternating positive and negative ions

#8
Front (Question)

properties of ionic compounds

Back (Answer)

high melting and boiling points because of very strong and many ionic bonds taking lots of energy to break in addition they have good electrical conductivity when molten

#9
Front (Question)

covalent bonding

Back (Answer)

when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms leading to noble gas electronic configuration, only happens between two non metals

#10
Front (Question)

properties of simple covalent

Back (Answer)

low melting and boiling points because attraction between molecules is low, doesnt take lots of energy to break up lattice, weak intermolecular forces insoluble in water donot conduct electricity because they are no charge particles

#11
Front (Question)

describe giant covalent strucutres and give examples

Back (Answer)

structure made up of millions of atoms joined together by strong ovslent bonds, diamond graphite and silicon dioxide

#12
Front (Question)

describe strucutre of graphite

Back (Answer)

has strong covalent bonds but weak intermoleculer forces

#13
Front (Question)

describe strucutre if diamond

Back (Answer)

tetrahedral shape, centre atom froms 4 bonds, strong covalent bonds

#14
Front (Question)

describe strucutre of silicon (IV) dioxide

Back (Answer)

centre atom forms 4 bonds, strong covalent bonds

#15
Front (Question)

what are some properties of diamond and silicon dioxide

Back (Answer)

have high melting points and doesnt conduct electricity because each atom is held in place by 4 strong covalent bonds, which needs lots of energy to break

#16
Front (Question)

describe properties of graphite

Back (Answer)

conducts electricity and is soft because sheets can slide over each other because they are held by weak intermolecular forces, and because carbon atoms has four electrons but forms nly 3 bonds, so one electron is free to move carrying charge

#17
Front (Question)

what are some uses for giant covalent and why

Back (Answer)

graphite is used for pencil lead, beause of dark color and because is soft diamond and silicon dioxide are used for edge wheels and cutting stone and as jewlery, because very hard and require hgih energy to break bonds
