#1
Front (Question)

What are the three types of bonding

Back (Answer)

• Ionic, covenant and metallic

#2
Front (Question)

Where does ionic bonding occur

Back (Answer)

• Particles are oppositely charged ions - Metals and non metals

#3
Front (Question)

When dies covenant bonding occur

Back (Answer)

• Share pairs of electrons - most non-metallic and compounds of non metallic

#4
Front (Question)

When does metallic bonding take place

Back (Answer)

• Particles are atoms which share delocalised electrons - Metallic elects and alloys

#5
Front (Question)

What are ions

Back (Answer)

• Charged particles- can be single atoms or groups • Cations- positive • Negative- anions

#6
Front (Question)

Explain ionic bonding

Back (Answer)

• When metal and non metal react together, the metal atom loses electrons to form a positive ion and non metal gains these electrons to form negatively charged ion • Oppositely charged ions are strongly attracted to one another by electrostatic forces

#7
Front (Question)

How can ionic bonds be shown

Back (Answer)

• Dot and cross diagram

#8
Front (Question)

What is an ionic compound

Back (Answer)

• Giant structure of ions • Held together by electrostatic forces between opposite charges • Act in all directions • Ionic compounds form giant ionic ionic lattice

#9
Front (Question)

-How can sodium be presented

Back (Answer)

• Ball and stock - colourful balls

#10
Front (Question)

What is covenant bonding

Back (Answer)

• Share electrons to form full outer shell • Strong bonds • happens in non-metals

#11
Front (Question)

What are the ways of drawing covenant bonds

Back (Answer)

• dot and cross • Dispalyed forumla • 3d

#12
Front (Question)

• What are the examples of simple molecular structures

Back (Answer)

• Hydrogen- Single • Chlorine - Single • Oxygen- Double • Nitrogen- tribble • Methane- four • water- single

#13
Front (Question)

What are the properties of simple molecular structures

Back (Answer)

• Usually those with covalent bonds have this • Held together with very strong bond- forces of attraction weak • Only need to break friable forces not bonds so melting points are low • No free electrons- don’t conduct

#14
Front (Question)

What are the properties of ionic compounds

Back (Answer)

• High melting and boiling point • Due to many strong bonds that have to be broken • Cant conduct electricity when solid • When liquid they can conduct • Dissolve early in water

#15
Front (Question)

What is a polymer

Back (Answer)

• Long chains of repeating units -lots of small units are linked to form long molecule • Draw repeated section • Joined by covalent • ## Loe boiling point

#16
Front (Question)

How do you find the molecular formula of polymer

Back (Answer)

• Write down molecular formula and put brakes around and N on outside

#17
Front (Question)

What are macromolecules

Back (Answer)

• Giant covenant structures • All atom bonded by strong covalent • High melting points • Diamond dont conduct

#18
Front (Question)

• What is an allotrope

Back (Answer)

• different structural forms of the same element in the physical state

#19
Front (Question)

What are the allotropes of carbon

Back (Answer)

• Diamond • Graphite • Graphene • Fullerne

#20
Front (Question)

What is diamond

Back (Answer)

• Allotrope of carbon • Very hard • Giant covalent • Four bonds • High melting point • doesn’t conduct

#21
Front (Question)

What is graphite

Back (Answer)

• Three bonds • Sheets in Hexagons • no bond between layers- move easily • High melting point • conducts as has one free

#22
Front (Question)

• What is graphene

Back (Answer)

• One layer of graphite • One atom thick • Very strong • Can conduct

#23
Front (Question)

What are fullerenes

Back (Answer)

• Molecules of carbon atoms with hollow shapes • Hexagonal rings, however may also be five or seven • First was Buckminsterfullerene c60 which has a physical shape • cage other molecules

#24
Front (Question)

What are carbon carbon nanotubes

Back (Answer)

• Fullerene • Cylindrical very high length to diameter • Useful for nanotechnology, electronics and materials- strengthen without weight
