what are isotopes?
different atomic forms of the same element, which have the same number of protons, but different neutrons
1 of 22
how do you calculate the number of neutrons?
subtract the atomic number from the mass number
2 of 22
What is ionic bonding?
transfering electrons between a metal and a non-metal
3 of 22
explain a gaint ionic lattice
regular structure/ high melting point/ free ions conduct electricity/ disolve easily.
4 of 22
what is covalent bonding?
when electrons are shared between two or more non-metals
5 of 22
explain giant covalent srtuctures
very strong/ strong intermolecular bonds.
6 of 22
explain graphites properties
only 3 carbon bonds/ free electon conducts electricity/ lose layers which rub off on paper.
7 of 22
metalic structures have...
free electrons/ carry electricity/ have strong forces of electrostatic attraction
8 of 22
what are alloys and why are they used?
mixture of metals, with disorted layer to make harder
9 of 22
name a smart material
nitinol 'shape memory' can bend when cool, but if placed in heat return to remembered shape. used in braces and glasses frames
10 of 22
nano particles (fullerens) are what?
carbon atoms bonded together in hexagons or tubes, covalent bonds. very strong
11 of 22
uses of nano-particles
sun cream.. get in small pores/ for small light building materials/ deliver drugs to specific cells as can be absorbed easier.
12 of 22
name two types of polymers
thermosoftening- weak bonds, tangled chains which can easily be melted and remoulded. Thermosetting- strong intermolectuar bonds, crosslinks, high melting point so strong and hard
13 of 22
what is percentage yield
the percentage of product produces compared to the predicted
14 of 22
name a chromotography method..
gas- carries substances through a column at different speeds, reaching the mass spectrometer at different times. Paper- for seperating dyes, from a baseline different dyes rise to different places on the paper
15 of 22
name 4 factors which effect rates of reaction
temperature- concentration- catalyst- surface area of solids
16 of 22
how do you measure the rate of reaction?
through precipitation- how quick the solution takes to disappear change in mass- time takes to drop volume of gas given off- more gas = faster
17 of 22
name 4 features which increase the 'collision theory'
higher temperature- - - higher concentration - - - larger surface area - - - catalyst
18 of 22
what is endo and exothermic
endothermic- when a reaction takes in energy exothermic- releases energy
19 of 22
what a base
solution with ph above 7
20 of 22
what ia an alkaline
a base that disloved in water
21 of 22
acid+metal ==
salt + hydrogen
