#1
Front (Question)

What is an alloy

Back (Answer)

mixture of metals

#2
Front (Question)

Why does Iodine have a low melting

Back (Answer)

• simple molecule • with weak inter molecular forces • that require little energy to over come

#3
Front (Question)

How do metals conduct electricity

Back (Answer)

• Metals have delocalised electrons • electrons are free to move around • electrons carry a charge

#4
Front (Question)

sodium chloride structure

Back (Answer)

giant ionic

#5
Front (Question)

Why are carbon nanotubes used as lubricants

Back (Answer)

• They can roll over eachother • due to weak intermolecular forces between the nano tubes

#6
Front (Question)

why can graphite conduct electricity

Back (Answer)

• Carbons in graphite bond to 3 carbons • leaves one delocalised electron per carbon • electrons can move through the substance and carry a charge

#7
Front (Question)

describe structure of metals

Back (Answer)

• Positive ions • In a sea of negative electrons • Giant structure • Regular layers

#8
Front (Question)

Potassium and sulfur bond describe electron transfer

Back (Answer)

• From K to S • Each K looses one electron • S gains 2 electrons • K+, S2-

#9
Front (Question)

Describe the arrangment of the acrbon atom in nano tubes

Back (Answer)

Hexagonal

#10
Front (Question)

why can carbon nanotubes conduct electricity

Back (Answer)

• Each carbon is covalenty bonded to 3 other carbons • Leaves one delocalised electron per carbon • These delocalised electrons can move through the shape and carry a charge

#11
Front (Question)

why will using a polystyrene cup grant more accurate results thatn a glass cup

Back (Answer)

• Glass is a worse themal insulator • More energy would be transferred to environmnet

#12
Front (Question)

Bonding of Calcium and Chlorine

Back (Answer)

• Each Ca looses 2 e- • Each Cl gains 1 e- • 1 Ca reacts with 2 Cl • Ca2+ is formed and Cl-

#13
Front (Question)

How does a metal conduct thermal energy

Back (Answer)

• thermal energy is transferred • by the delocalised elcetrons

#14
Front (Question)

why does propene have a low boiling point

Back (Answer)

• propene is a small molecule • weak inter molecular forces • which require little engery tp overcome

#15
Front (Question)

Why does gold conduct electricty

Back (Answer)

• delocalised outershell electrons • move around the metal and carry a charge

#16
Front (Question)

Why does gold have a high melting point

Back (Answer)

• strong electrostatic forces between • e- and positive nuclei

#17
Front (Question)

Why are alloys harder

Back (Answer)

• Metals have particles of the same size • which can slide over eachother • the differently sized atoms disrupt the neat rows

#18
Front (Question)

why is gold unreactive

Back (Answer)

don’t loose/gain electrons easily

#19
Front (Question)

What type of bonds are there between particle of poly(ethene)

Back (Answer)

intermolecular forces • not weak ones

#20
Front (Question)

Why does sodium oxide have a high melting point

Back (Answer)

• giant structure • strong electrostatic forces of attrcation • require lots of energy to overcome
