Front (Question)

what is METALLIC BONDING?

Back (Answer)

lattice of cations in a sea of delocalized electrons

Front (Question)

properties of METALS?

Back (Answer)

good conductor of heat and electricity high m/b point malleable and ductile

Front (Question)

why do metals conduct heat and electricity?

Back (Answer)

delocalized electrons

Front (Question)

why do metals have high m/b points?

Back (Answer)

strong force of attraction between metal ions and delocalized electrons → more energy needed to break the bonds

Front (Question)

why are metals malleable and ductile?

Back (Answer)

LAYERS OF ION in lattice structure SLIDE PAST one another due to delocalized electrons

Front (Question)

properties of TRANSITION METALS?

Back (Answer)

high density high melting point form colored compounds

Front (Question)

why do transition metals have high melting points?

Back (Answer)

each atom is bonded to electrons each ion is bonded to other ions → more energy to break the bonds

Front (Question)

what are transition metals often used as?

Back (Answer)

catalysts e.g. Fe in haber process to make NH3

Front (Question)

what are ALLOYS?

Back (Answer)

mixtures of metals

#10

Front (Question)

why do alloys have different properties from the metals they contain? what are the different properties?

Back (Answer)

• difference atoms distort regular lattice structure • harder for layers to slide past one another → stronger, less flexible

#11

Front (Question)

properties and uses of ALUMINUM?

Back (Answer)

resistant to corrosion + strong + light → aircraft conduct heat + non-toxic → saucepan

#12

Front (Question)

properties and uses of ZINC?

Back (Answer)

cheap, reactive → coating iron (galvinizing)

#13

Front (Question)

properties and uses of COPPER?

Back (Answer)

conduct electricity → electrical wires

#14

Front (Question)

properties and uses of BRONZE?

Back (Answer)

doesn’t corrode → medals

#15

Front (Question)

properties and uses of BRASS?

Back (Answer)

doesn’t corrode → music instruments

#16

Front (Question)

composition, properties and uses of STEEL?

Back (Answer)

Fe+C very hard → cutting tool

#17

Front (Question)

properties and uses of MILD STEEL

Back (Answer)

easily shaped → car body

#18

Front (Question)

properties and uses of DURIRON?

Back (Answer)

not affected by acid → pipes in chemical factories

#19

Front (Question)

properties and uses of STAINLESS STEEL?

Back (Answer)

doesn’t rust → car parts, cutlery

#20

Front (Question)

what is REDOX reaction?

Back (Answer)

loss/gain of electrons (oxidation, reduction)

#21

Front (Question)

an element is oxidized when it … electrons?

Back (Answer)

loses electrons OIL - Oxidation Is Loss of electrons

#22

Front (Question)

an element is reduced when it … electrons?

Back (Answer)

gains electrons RIG - Reduction Is Gain of electrons

#23

Front (Question)

what can more reactive metals do to less reactive metals?

Back (Answer)

DISPLACE them from their salt solution

#24

Front (Question)

write the 1. SYMBOL EQUATION 2. HALF EQUATION for copper reacting w/ silver nitrate

Back (Answer)

Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2Ag (s) Cu(s) → Cu2+ (aq) + 2eˉ Ag+ (aq)+ 1eˉ →Ag(s)
