Making these bonds includes _____, _____ or _____ electrons Gaining Donating Sharing
Ionic bonding Metal and non-metal
Metal atoms _____ electrons to form _____ ions Lose Positive
Non-metal atoms _____ electrons to form _____ ions Gain Negative
Describe ionic bonding to form sodium chloride
Covalent bonding Two non-metals
Each atom _____ electrons with the other to create a _____ of electrons Shares Full outer shell
Describe covalent bonding to form hydrogen chloride
A chemical formula shows what _____ are in a _____ Elements Compound
Limestone is mainly _____ Calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
When heated it _____ to form _____ and _____ Thermally decomposes Calcium oxide Carbon dioxide
Chemical equation for the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate
Thermal decomposition A substance chemically changes Forms at least two new substances when heated
Calcium carbonate also reacts with _____ to make a _____, _____ and _____ Acid Calcium salt Carbon dioxide Water
Chemical equation for the reaction between calcium carbonate and sulfuric acid
The type of salt depends on the type of _____ Acid
Other carbonates that react with acids Magnesium Copper Zinc Sodium
Calcium oxide reacts with _____ to form _____ Water Calcium hydroxide
Chemical equation for the reaction between calcium oxide and water
Calcium hydroxide is an _____ which can be used to neutralize _____ in fields, and works much _____ than powdered limestone Alkali Acidic soil Faster
Calcium hydroxide can also be used to test for _____ by making a solution called _____ Carbon dioxide Limewater
If carbon dioxide is present, the limewater will turn _____, caused by the formation of _____ Cloudy Calcium carbonate
Chemical equation for the reaction between calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide
Limestone can be _____ and _____ in a kiln with _____ to make _____ Powdered Heated Powdered clay Cement
Cement can be mixed with _____ and _____ to make _____ Sand Water
Or cement can be mixed with _____ and _____ (water and gravel) to make _____ Sand Aggregate Concrete
5 environmental issues caused by quarrying limestone Huge holes in landscape Noise and dust in quiet scenic areas Destroys natural habitats Noise and pollution from transportation Waste materials make unsightly tips
2 environmental issues caused by using limestone production Cement factories make dust which can cause breathing problems Energy used most likely from fossil fuels
5 uses of limestone Houses and roads Chemicals in paints and dyes Medicines Neutralising acidity in soils, rivers and lakes Neutralising sulphur dioxide in power station chimneys
2 good things about quarrying limestone Creates jobs which improves local economy = local infrastructural improvements Restoration and landscaping is normally required in planning permission
Advantages of limestone Widely available and cheaper than granite/marble Fairly easy to cut Can be more hard wearing than marble More attractive Fire resistant
Advantages of concrete Can be poured into moulds to make blocks or panels Very quick and cheap for constructing Doesn't corrode Fire resistant
Disadvantages of limestone/concrete Concrete is very unattractive Fairly low tensile strength
Some _____ metals such as _____ are found in the earth as the metal itself Unreactive Gold
A metal _____ is a rock that contains _____ to make it _____ extracting the metal from it Ore Enough metal Economical/worthwhile
In many cases the ore is an _____ of the metal Oxide
The main aluminium ore is called _____ Bauxite
The _____ of metal extraction can _____ over time and affect how _____ it would be to extract certain metals Economics Change Worthwhile
A metal can be extracted from its ore by _____ or _____ Reduction Electrolysis
Some ores may need to be _____ before extraction Concentrated
Electrolysis can also be used to _____ the extracted metal Purify
A metal can be extracted from its ore by reduction using _____ Carbon
When an ore is reduced _____ is _____ from it Oxygen Removed
The position of the metal in the _____ determines whether it can be extracted by ______ with _____ Reactivity Reduction Carbon
Metals higher than _____ have to be extracted by _____ which is _____ Carbon Electrolysis Expensive
Metals below _____ can be extracted by _____ using _____, for example _____ Carbon Reduction Carbon Iron (oxide)
Metals that are more reactive than carbon have to be extracted using _____ of _____, such as _____ Electrolysis Molten compounds Aluminium (oxide)
This is very expensive because it uses a lot of _____ Energy
