  • Covalent Bonding
    Non-metallic elements, sharing electrons, forms molecules
  • Ionic bonding
    Metals, giving/gaining electrons, forms ions
  • Metallic bonding
    Atoms are the same size, regular formation, highest energy electron shell are delocalised. Electrostatic forces between the electrons and the positive ions hold the structure together.
  • Giant ionic structures
    Strong electrostatic forces, high m.p/b.p
  • Simple molecules
    Low m.p/b.p, no overall charge so unable to conduct, weak intermolecular forces
  • Giant covalent structures/Macromolecules
    High m.p/b.p, lattice, lots of covalent bonds
  • Diamond
    Each carbon atom forms 4 bonds, hard, transparent, giant covalent structure
  • Graphite
    Each carbon atom forms 3 bonds, form layers of graphite, soft, giant covalent structure, conduct electricity due to delocalised electrons between layers
  • Fullerenes
    Hexagonal rings of carbon atoms, join together to form a structure, some atoms are nano-sized, used for drug delivery, suncream, lube
  • Alloys
    Metal layers slide, alloys are mixtures of metals, distort the layers
  • Shape-memory alloys
    Bent or deformed into different shapes, when heated return to original shape, used in glasses and dental braces
  • Conducting in metals
    Delocalised electrons, quickly transfer energy to positive ions, vibrate more
  • Polymer properties
    Depend on the monomers, low density and high density depend on reaction conditions (temp., catalyst)
  • Thermosoftening polymers
    Tangled, soft when heated, hardens as it cools so can be remoulded, weak intermolecular forces
  • Thermosetting polymers
    Don't melt or soften when heated, strong covalent bonds, cross links between chains hold polymer chains
  • Nanoscience
    Extremely tiny, behave differently to the normal atoms, large surface areas, suncream and deodorant, research needed
  • Paper chromotography
    Solvent, pencil line, substances move different distances depending on their solubility, analyse food colours/additives
  • Gas Chromotography
    Mixture carried as a gas through a column packed with particles of a solid, individual compounds travel through the column at different times, times are recorded and make their retention times
  • Mass Spectrometry
    Linked to the gas chromatography, peaks in charts show the relative molecular masses of compounds (molecular ion peak)
  • Collision theory - surface area
    More collisions in the same time,
  • Collision theory - temperature
    Frequency of collisions increases, particles have more energy so collisions are more likely to result in a reaction as they reach the activation energy
  • Collision theory - concentration/pressure
    Increase in particles, increase in collision frequency
  • Catalyst
    Quickens rate of reaction without being used up, metals/enzymes are used in industry, research into nanoparticles
  • Exothermic
    Releases heat, combustion, oxidation, neutralisation, used in hand warmers
  • Endothermic
    Takes in heat, need to be heated continuously to keep the reaction going, used in instant cold packs
  • Bases
    React with acids and neutralise them
  • Acid + Base (or alkali)

    Salt + Water
  • Acid + Metal

    Salt + Hydrogen
  • Insoluble Salts
    Mix solutions of soluble salts containing the ions needed
  • Electrolysis
    Passing electricity through a compound when it is molten or in solution to break it down, solution broken down is the electrolyte
  • Positive electrode (anode)
    Negative ions lose electrons, oxidation, some form molecules
  • Negative electrode (cathode)
    Positive ions gain electrons, reduction
  • Extraction of aluminium
    Electrolysis, mixed with molten cryolite to lower melting point, aluminium at negative, oxygen at positive, electrodes made of carbon so oxygen reacts forming carbon dioxide, electrodes replaced regularly
  • Electrolysis of brine
    Sodium chloride, forms chlorine gas (positive electrode), hydrogen gas (negative electrode), sodium hydroxide solution.
  • Electroplating
    Electrolysis, object plated is at negative electrode, electrolyte contains metal ions
