#1
Front (Question)

What is Covalent Bonding?

Back (Answer)

The electrostatic attraction between protons in two nuclei and a shared pair of electrons

#2
Front (Question)

Intermolecular forces require less energy to break than…

Back (Answer)

Covalent bonds

#3
Front (Question)

Properties of Fullerene

Back (Answer)

Simple molecule - 60 carbon atoms in a ball Low BP/MP - Intermolecular forces are weaker than covalent bonds Soft and Slippery solid - molecules roll over each other Electrical insulator - molecules are neutral

#4
Front (Question)

Properties of Diamond

Back (Answer)

Very Strong covalent bonds - each carbon atom is joined to 4 other carbon atoms High MP/BP - Lots of energy needed to break bonds Hard - Lots of strong bonds Does not conduct electricity - electrons are stuck

#5
Front (Question)

Uses of Diamond

Back (Answer)

Cutting

#6
Front (Question)

Properties of Graphite

Back (Answer)

Giant covalent structure - each carbon atoms is joined to 3 other carbon atoms Hexagonal arrangements of atoms = weak IMFs High MP/BP - lots of energy needed Soft and Slippery - consists of layers that can slide over each other Conducts electricity - one delocalised electron per atom, delocalised electrons move to conduct electricity

#7
Front (Question)

Uses of graphite

Back (Answer)

Pencils Soft lubricant

#8
Front (Question)

Properties of Silicon Dioxide

Back (Answer)

Giant covalent structure High MP/BP - lots of energy needed to break bonds Hard - network of oxygen atoms Doesn’t conduct electricity no delocalised electrons Similar properties to diamond - just less expensive
