Diamond+Silicon Dioxide Properties
Hard, high boiling point + high melting point
1 of 9
Bonding in Diamond +Silicon Dioxide
1) 1:4 carbons, 2) strong covalent bonds, 3) 3D giant structure, 4) bonds difficult to break
2 of 9
Why can graphite conduct electricity???
delocalised electrons ---> carry charge
3 of 9
Bonding in Graphite
1) 1:3 carbons, 2) no covalent bonds between layers, 3) arranged in giant hexagon layers, 4)layers can slide
4 of 9
Thermosoftening
Tangled web, easy to separate
5 of 9
Thermosetting
Chains fixed together by STRONG COVALENT BONDS + crosslinks
6 of 9
Properties of metals
held together by a sea of DELOCALISED ELECTRONS, NEGATIVE CHARGE of electrons between POSITIVELY CHARGED ions HOLD them in position. Electrons able to MOVE through lattice
7 of 9
Metals
1) closely packed layers, 2)can conduct electricity and heat, 3)layers can slide over eachother, 4)can be shaped or bent, 5) delocalised electrons ---> allow current & heat to flow through the metal
8 of 9
Alloys
1) harder than pure metals, 2)mixture of metals, 3)more difficult to slide over eachother, 4) distorted layers
