  • Explain how electricity is conducted in metals?
    -Giant structure
    -Made up of atoms
    -With delocalised electrons
    -so electrons can move through the metals
  • Describe how the structure of an alloy is different from the structure of a pure metal.
    -An alloy has different sized atoms
    -This distorts the layers
  • Nitinol is an alloy used in dental braces. Why is Nitinol used in dental braces?
    Can return to it's original shape.
  • What does malleable mean?
    Capable of being shaped or molded.
  • Which electrode has the halide rule?
    The anode
  • Which electrode has the reactivity rule?
    The cathode(-)
  • What gas is produced in the anode when there is no halide ion?
    Oxygen gas
  • What gas is produced in the cathode when the metal is more reactive than hydrogen?
    Hydrogen gas
  • What will the products be in electrolysis of a molten solution?
    Only the reactants will be products
  • What is the test for hydrogen
    A lighted splint near the test tube and it creates a squeaky pop sound
  • What is the test for an alkene?
    Bromine water test. From orange to colourless}
  • Test for CO2
     reacts with limewater solution to produce a white precipitate of calcium carbonate
  • Test for oxygen
     If oxygen is present in a test tube, a glowing splint relights when it is held inside
  • Test for Chlorine
    Chlorine is an acidic gas that also acts as a bleach. Damp litmus paper is bleached white when it is placed in chlorine.
