Card preview (24)

#1
Front (Question)

Covalent bonding

Back (Answer)

The electrostatic atraction between 2 positive nuclei and a shared pair of electrons. The number of bonds formed(number of pairs of electrons) is equal to the number of electrons it wants to get

#2
Front (Question)

Ionic Bonding

Back (Answer)

The electrostatic atraction between oppositely charged ions(cation & anion)

#3
Front (Question)

Metalic bonding

Back (Answer)

The electrostatic attraction between positive ions(cations) and delocalised electrons

#4
Front (Question)

Halogens(group 7)

Back (Answer)

• Non-Metals • Form ionic compunds with metals • Form covalent compunds with non-metals • As you go down density and m.p./b.p. increases, reactivity decreases

#5
Front (Question)

Alkali metals

Back (Answer)

• Lose 1 electrons when they form compunds • As yo go down the outer/valence electrons is further away from the nucleus so it’s easier to lose it. Therefore, reactivity increases as you go down

#6
Front (Question)

Lithium

Back (Answer)

• Li • Soft, shiny when cut • Slowly disappears, fizzes, moves around when it reacts with water

#7
Front (Question)

Sodium

Back (Answer)

• Na • Soft, shiny when cut • Disappears, fizzes, moves quickly melted in a ball and produces orange flame when it reacts with water

#8
Front (Question)

Potassium

Back (Answer)

-K -Soft, shiny when cut -Produces a lilac flame when it reacts with water water

#9
Front (Question)

Gasses in the atmosphere

Back (Answer)

• Nitrogen: 78% • Oxygen: 21% • Carbon dioxide: 0.04% • Others: 0.9% Dry air is used to measuer composition as non-dry air contains water vapour and other compounds that could alter the measurements. Composition varies by location, time and weather conditions.

#10
Front (Question)

Reactivity Series

Back (Answer)

K - Potassium Na -Sodium Li -Lithium Ca - Calcium Mg - Magnesium Al - Aluminium C - Carbon Zn - Zinc Fe - Iron H - Hydrogen Cu - Copper Ag -Silver Au - Gold Pt - Platinum

#11
Front (Question)

Diamond

Back (Answer)

Each carbon has 4 covalent bonds Giant stucture Used in drill bits and jewlery M.P./B.P:High Rigidity: Very strong Conductivity: No + Force: Nuclei - Force: Pair of electrons Cause of conductivity: No

#12
Front (Question)

Graphite

Back (Answer)

Each carbon has 3 covalent bonds Giant Structure Used in pencil lead and lubricant for machines M.P./B.P: High Rigidity: Brittle Conductivity: When solid + Force: Nuclei - Force: Pair of electrons Cause of conductivity: Delocalised electron

#13
Front (Question)

Covalent Structure

Back (Answer)

Example: Oxygen gas M.P./B.P: Low Rigidity: No Conductivity: No + Force: Nuclei - Force: Pair of electrons Cause of conductivity: No

#14
Front (Question)

Ionic Structure

Back (Answer)

Example: Aluminium oxide M.P./B.P: High Rigidity: Brittle Conductivity: When aqueous + Force: Positive ion (cation) - Force: Negative ion(anion) Cause of conductivity: Free ions

#15
Front (Question)

Metalic structure

Back (Answer)

Example: Titanium M.P./B.P: High Rigidity: Malleable Conductivity: Solid + Force: Positive ion(cation) - Force: Delocalised electron Cause of conductivity: Delocalised electron

#16
Front (Question)

Fullerene

Back (Answer)

Hollow ball of 60 carbon atoms Each carbon has 3 covalent bonds Fixed number of atoms

#17
Front (Question)

Reduction

Back (Answer)

Gaining electrons (losing oxygen)

#18
Front (Question)

Oxidation

Back (Answer)

Losing electrons (gaining oxygen)

#19
Front (Question)

Why ionic has high melting point

Back (Answer)

• Giant ionic structure • Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions • Ionic bonds are strong • Large amount of energy needed to break bonds

#20
Front (Question)

Why malleable

Back (Answer)

• Arranged in layers • Layers can slide over eachother

#21
Front (Question)

Element that has an oxide

Back (Answer)

• An element that reacts with oxygen / forms and oxide • That (the element oxide) can react with an acid

#22
Front (Question)

Prevent rusting

Back (Answer)

• Galvanisation / Sacrificial protection • Barrier methods

#23
Front (Question)

Galvanisation

Back (Answer)

• Sacrificial protection with zinc • Zing is more reactive than iron • Zinc reacts with oxygen instead of iron

#24
Front (Question)

Sacrificial protection

Back (Answer)

• Using a more reactive element than iron that will react with oxygen instead
