What is an alloy
mixture of metals
Why does Iodine have a low melting
• simple molecule • with weak inter molecular forces • that require little energy to over come
How do metals conduct electricity
• Metals have delocalised electrons • electrons are free to move around • electrons carry a charge
sodium chloride structure
giant ionic
Why are carbon nanotubes used as lubricants
• They can roll over eachother • due to weak intermolecular forces between the nano tubes
why can graphite conduct electricity
• Carbons in graphite bond to 3 carbons • leaves one delocalised electron per carbon • electrons can move through the substance and carry a charge
describe structure of metals
• Positive ions • In a sea of negative electrons • Giant structure • Regular layers
Potassium and sulfur bond describe electron transfer
• From K to S • Each K looses one electron • S gains 2 electrons • K+, S2-
Describe the arrangment of the acrbon atom in nano tubes
Hexagonal
why can carbon nanotubes conduct electricity
• 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
why will using a polystyrene cup grant more accurate results thatn a glass cup
• Glass is a worse themal insulator • More energy would be transferred to environmnet
Bonding of Calcium and Chlorine
• Each Ca looses 2 e- • Each Cl gains 1 e- • 1 Ca reacts with 2 Cl • Ca2+ is formed and Cl-
How does a metal conduct thermal energy
• thermal energy is transferred • by the delocalised elcetrons
why does propene have a low boiling point
• propene is a small molecule • weak inter molecular forces • which require little engery tp overcome
Why does gold conduct electricty
• delocalised outershell electrons • move around the metal and carry a charge
Why does gold have a high melting point
• strong electrostatic forces between • e- and positive nuclei
Why are alloys harder
• Metals have particles of the same size • which can slide over eachother • the differently sized atoms disrupt the neat rows
why is gold unreactive
don’t loose/gain electrons easily
What type of bonds are there between particle of poly(ethene)
intermolecular forces • not weak ones
Why does sodium oxide have a high melting point
• giant structure • strong electrostatic forces of attrcation • require lots of energy to overcome
