Bonding, structure and properties (topic 2)

?
What are cations?
positive ions
1 of 12
What are anions?
negative ions
2 of 12
Properties of ionic compunds
high melting point; dissolve easily; solid= can't conduct electricity; ions can move when molten or dissolved
3 of 12
Disadvantages of dot and cross diagrams
Don't show: structure, relative size or how atoms are arranged
4 of 12
what are Macromolecules?
giant covalent structures
5 of 12
Properties of Diamond
very strong; 4 covalent bonds; high melting point; no free electrons
6 of 12
Properties of Graphite
no covalent bonds between layers; slippery; only 3/4 electrons used so delocalised electrons
7 of 12
Properties of Graphene
One atom thick; strong and light
8 of 12
Properties of Fullerenes
Tubes/hollow balls; high surface area; drugs; tensile strength
9 of 12

1x10^-9m to 1x10^-7
10 of 12
Uses of fullerenes
Catalysts; carry drugs; lubricants
