  • Name 2 properties of non-metals
    low melting points, not usually shiny, brittle, poor conductor of electricity, low density
  • What does 'poly' mean
    many
  • Do metals have a high or low melting points and why?
    high, due to the oppositely charged electrons and metal ions
  • Is a buckyball a giant or simple covalent structure
    Simple
  • Where is silica most commonly found
    Sand
  • True or false : Valency is the number of electrons needed to complete the outer shell
    true
  • What is a synthetic polymer and why are they difficult to dispose of?
    man made, because they are unreactive
  • Name 1 example of a natural polymer
    cellulose, DNA, protein, keratin
  • Name all 4 allotropes of carbon
    graphene, fullerenes, graphite, diamond
  • How many electrons does electrons have
    8
  • Draw a diagram of a lattice of metals and label it
  • What is the most stable group on the periodic table and why?
    Noble gases ( they have full outer shells )
  • Which allotrope of carbon cannot conduct electricity and why?
    Diamond, because there's no free electrons
  • Which allotrope of carbon has 4 bonds to each carbon atom
    diamond
  • Is graphene a giant or simple covalent structure
    giant
  • What is the periodic table made up of?
    Elements
  • Is a buckyball a giant or simple covalent structure
    Simple
  • What does malleable mean?
    able to be pressed/hammered into shape without breaking
  • Name 2 properties of metals
    high melting points, shiny, good conductor of electricity, malleable, high density
  • Where is silica most commonly found
    Sand
  • True or false : graphite is used in pencils
    true
  • What does 'mono' mean
    one
  • Name 2 properties of a covalent bond
    - the bond is very strong - the intermolecular bond between molecules is weak - low melting and boiling points
  • Which bond occurs between two non-metals
    covalent bond
  • How do you work out how many neutrons are in an atom
    top number - bottom number
  • Which bond occurs between a non-metal atom and a metal atom
    ionic bonding
  • In metallic bonding, what happens to the electrons on the outer shells?
    they are lost from the atoms and form a sea of delocalised electrons
  • Show the covalent bond between 2 hydrogen atoms
  • Name 2 properties of ionic bonding
    - strong electrostatic force - high melting and boiling points - soluble in water - only conduct electricity if a liquid or dissolved in water
  • Draw a sodium (Na) atom.
  • True or False : if its a thermal conductor it allows electricity to flow through the material
    false - it allows heat
  • Show the ionic bond between sodium + chlorine and name the ions
