6. Envrironmental impacts- the making of materials from natural raw materials. Name one of the two processes and two environmental impacts for each.

  • Mining and Processing. There are lost of rock wasted and it leaves a scar on the landscape. (Mining) Pollutants are caused by transportation, electrolysis requires more energy than reduction.
  • Mining and Processing. No impact and landfill sites remove wildlife habitats and are an eyesore.
  • Mining and Disposal. Air/noise pollution, pollutants are caused by transportation.

7. What happens when an Ionic compound melts?

  • The electrostatic forces between the charged ions in the crystal lattice are broken down and the ions are free to move.
  • The electrostatic forces between the charged ions in the crystal lattice are broken down and the ions are unable to move.
  • The electrostatic forces between the charged ions in the crystal lattice are built down and the ions are free to move.

8. A lot of the silicon and oxygen in the atmosphere is present as...

  • atoms.
  • the compound silicon dioxide.
  • elements.

9. In a metal, what are the positively charged metal ions held together by?

  • A 'sea' of neutrons.
  • A 'sea' of electrons.
  • A 'sea' of protons.

10. Electrolysis is..

  • the breaking down of fuels.
  • the breaking down of an electrolyte using an electric current.
  • the breaking down of electricity.

  • neutral atoms.
  • negative atoms.
  • positive atoms.

14. Why is recycling a good disposal technique?

  • No pollutants are formed in the process.
  • It uses less energy than the initial manufacturing.
  • It uses no energy in comparison to the initial manufacturing.

16. What are Ores?

  • Metals.
  • Ores are rocks that contain varying amounts of minerals from which metals can be extracted.
  • Non-metals.
