Calderglen High School 9.What type of particle flows through metals during conduction? Delocalised Electrons answer

Calderglen High School 10.How do metals conduct electricity ? Delocalised Electrons flow through the metal. answer

Calderglen High School 11.Why do ionic solids NOT conduct electricity ? The ions are not free to move answer

Calderglen High School 12.What type of structure is shown? Suggest a name Covalent Network. e.g. Silicon dioxide answer Image: BBC website

Calderglen High School 13.What type of structure is shown? Suggest a name for a substance with this type of structure. Covalent molecular e.g. carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) answer C O O C O O C O O C O O C O O

Calderglen High School 14.Describe the structure of an IONIC solid An ionic solid consists of a network or LATTICE of oppositely charged ions answer

Calderglen High School 15.Describe the electron arrangement of ions? The electron arrangement of a Noble gas atom.The electron arrangement of a Noble gas atom. This means that they have a full outer energy levelThis means that they have a full outer energy level This electron arrangement is stableThis electron arrangement is stable answer

Calderglen High School 16.Why do molten ionic compounds conduct but ionic solids do not ? The ions in the MOLTEN substance are FREE TO MOVE. The ions cannot move in a solid. answer

Calderglen High School 17.Do ionic solids dissolve in water ? YES.Most Ionic solids DISSOLVE in water. The lattice breaks up and the ions spread out. answer

Calderglen High School 18. Which covalent compounds conduct electricity? NONE! answer

Calderglen High School 19. What are the typical STATES of ionic and covalent compounds ? All Ionic compounds are SOLIDS. Covalent compounds can be liquids, gases or solids with low melting points answer

Calderglen High School 20.How strong are the bonds between molecules? How does this affect properties such as melting point? The bonds between molecules are WEAK. This means that covalent molecules typically have low melting points. answer C O O C O O C O O C O O C O O
