Question Answer
What type of solid consists of metals and non metals ionic solids
carbon and silicon containing compounds sometimes form which type of solid? extended covalent networks
metallic solids are made up of which type of atoms? metals
name the particles involved in metallic solids molecular solids ionic solids extended covalent network solids the particles involved in metallic solids - atoms molecular solids - molecules ionic solids - ions extended covalent network solids - atoms
name the forces between neighbouring particles in metallic solids molecular solids ionic solids extended covalent network solids the forces involved in metallic solids - metallic bonds molecular solids - weak intermolecular forces ionic solids - ionic bonds extended covalent network solids - covalent bonds
why is this solid brittle this is an ionic solid. when force is applied, like charges align and repel shattering the crystal
what types of solids can conduct electricity? metals graphite (ionic substances only as liquids or in solution NOT as a solid)
what types of solids are malleable? ones with nondirectional forces (metals)
describe the structure of metals metals have atoms surrounded by delocalised valence electrons with non directional metallic bonds connecting these particles
describe the structure of ionic solids an ionic solid is made up of anions surrounded by cations and vice versa. there is a strong electrostatic attraction called ionic bonds between oppositely charged ions
describe the structure of diamond Diamond is a 3D extended covalent network made up of only C atoms. Each C is bonded to 4 other carbons in a tetrahedral arrangement
name the solid which has this structure graphite
explain why graphite conducts electricity each C in graphite has one delocalised electron that exists between the layers. These electrons can carry charge.
