Molecules + Metals / Alloys

?
Molecules?
Group of 2 / more atoms joined together by covalent bonds + made up of carbon
1 of 13
Example?
CH 4 = 1 carbon atom + 4 hydrogen
2 of 13
Simple molecules?
Strong covalent bonds + nothing new made so reversible
3 of 13
Facts?
- Low M/B point - Little energy needed to break bonds - Cannot conduct electricity = no ions free electrons can move so can carry charge
4 of 13
Allotropes?
Different forms of same element
5 of 13
Diamond + Graphite Fact?
-Carbon atoms - Macromolecules
6 of 13
Graphite?
- 3 covalent bonds -high melting point strong bonds to break - soft and slippery layers atoms slip of each other - Conduct electricity
7 of 13
Diamond?
- 4 Covalent bonds - HIgh melting P. strong bonds to break - Very hard - Delocalised electrons
8 of 13
Nanoscience?
Very small
9 of 13
Nanotubes?
- 3 covalent bonds -made of tiny tubes which are carbon -Very strong - Excellent conductor electricity
10 of 13
Graphene?
- Strong covalent bonds - Light weight/flexible - transparent
11 of 13
Buckminsterfullene?
-60 carbon atoms - 3 covalent bonds - 1 electron free so fullene conduct electricity
12 of 13
Metals + Alloys?
Alloy = mixture of two/more element when one is metal - Harder + stronger than pure element Metal= giant structure of atoms - Electrons on outer shell delocalised
