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
