-In a metal positive ions sit in a sea of delocalised electrons. -These electrons can move freely therefore conducting electricity
1 of 13
Describe the structure of an alloy (3)
-Alloys are hard. -Different sized atoms lead to distorted layers. -These layers cannot slide
2 of 13
Describe and explain the properties of graphite (4)
-Because graphite only makes 3 carbon-carbon bonds. -It has a spare electron which floats between the layers. This allows for electricity to be conducted. -The atoms are arranged in layers. -Graphite is soft because these layers can slide.

Describe the structure and bonding in a thermosoftening polymer (2)
-Melt. -Polymer chains not held together
4 of 13
Describe the bonding in an ionic compound (6)
-The metal loses x number of electrons. -And becomes a x positive ion. -The non-metal gain x number if electrons. -Becoming a x negative ions. -They now both have full outer shells. -Give formula of compound
5 of 13
Using an example describe the properties of a simple covalent compound (3)
-High melting points and boiling points. -Only conduct electricity when melted or dissolved
7 of 13
Describe the bonding in a giant covalent compound (3)
-Large structure. -Strong bonds. -No free ions.
8 of 13
Describe the structure of a pure metal (3)
-Pure metals are soft. -The atoms are arranged in layers. -These layers can slide over each other.

Whats the difference in bonding between diamond and graphite? (3)
-Both are made from pure carbon. -Diamond makes 4 carbon-carbon bonds. -Graphite makes 3 carbon-carbon bonds
10 of 13
Describe the structure and bonding in a thermosetting polymer (2)
-Burn. -Polymer chain held together by crosslinks
11 of 13
Describe the bonding in a simple covalent compound (3)
-Weak intermolecular bonds. -That don't require much energy to separate them. -So low boiling, and melting point.
12 of 13
What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonding (4)
-ionic bonding is between a metal and a non-metal. -Ionic bonding is the transfer of electrons. -Covelent bonding is between two non-metals. -Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons
