    • Atmosphere
      • Layer of gas surrounding the earth
      • Made up of elements: Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapour
      • Chemicals in the atmosphere consist of non-metal element and molecular compounds
      • Molecules that make up the atmosphere are gases because they have very low melting points.
        • Molecular compunds have strong covalent bonds between the atoms that make up the compound.
        • Only weak forces of attraction between the small molecules
          • Molecular compunds have strong covalent bonds between the atoms that make up the compound.
          • Small amounts of energy are needed to break these forces
      • Atoms within molecules (hydrogen) are connected by strong cobvalent bonds.
        • Covalents bonds - electrons are shared between the nuclei of 2 atoms.
          • Causes a strong, electrostatic attraction between nuclei and shared electrons
      • Unlike ionic compunds, pure molecular compunds dont conduct electricity - molecules arent charged.
    • Hydrosphere
      • All the water on the Earth. The water contains dissolved compounds.
      • Seawater is salty because it contains dissolved ionic compounds.
        • eg Sodium Chloride; Sodium Sulfate; Potassium Bromide.
      • The Water Molecule
        • Good solvent for salts.
        • Bent because electrons in covalent bond are nearer to oxygen atom than hydrogen atoms.
          • A Polar Molecule
        • Charges on atoms means forces between molecules are slightly stronger than any other.
          • More energy needed to seperate
        • Small charges help to dissolve ionic compounds as the water molecules attract ions.

          • Insoluble - strong bonds
          • High melting and boiling points
          • Can conduct electricity - electrons forming weak bonds between layers are free to move.

      • Acids
        • Carbonates react with dilute acids to from carbon dioxide (and salt and water)
        • eg. add calcium carbonate to dilute hydrochloric acid, carbonate will fizz and give off CO2
        • calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid = calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
      • Thermal Decomposition
        • Copper Carbonate and Zinc Carbonate heated - thermal decomposition reaction takes place
        • Results in distinctive colour change which enables two compounds to be identified
        • Heat copper carbonate (green) forms Copper Oxide (black)
        • Heat Zinc Carbonate (white) forms Zinc Oxide (yellow at  high temps.) Cools and returns whate.
    • Extracting Useful Materials (Lithosphere)
      • Naturally occurring elements and compounds are called Minerals
      • Ores are rocks that contain varying amounts of minerals of which metals and be extracted.
      • Method of extraction depends on the metals postition on the reactivity series
      • Metals above Carbon in the reactivity series are very reactive and have to be extracted by Electrolysis
      • Metals below Carbon are extracted by reduction (heating with Carbon or Carbon Monoxide)
      • All metals below hydrogen can be extracted using Hydrogen
      • Gold and Platinum are unreactive so are obtained by physical processes (panning)
      • Extraction by reduction with Carbon
        • Zinc extracted from Zinc Oxide by heating with carbon

      • Molten Lead Bromide
        • Contains positive lead ions and negative bromide ions

    • Properties of Metals
      • Generally, metals are strong and malleable
      • Metal crystalline structure - positively charged metal ions are held close together by a sea of electrons that are free to move
      • Properties of a metal can be explained by its structure
      • Force of attraction that keeps structure together is called a Metallic Bond
      • Very Strong - metal ions closely packed together on a lattice structure
      • High Melting Point - A lot of energy needed to break strong force of attraction
      • Malleable - External forces cause layers of metal ions to move by sliding over other layers
      • Conducts Electricity - Electrons free to move throughout structure. Electrical force applied, the electrons move along the metal in one direction
