🇬🇧 | 🇬🇧 |
What is a hydrocarbon? | A substance made up of only hydrogen and carbon atoms ONLY |
What bonds do ALKANES have? | Carbon to carbon single bonds |
What bonds do ALKENES have? | Carbon to carbon double bonds |
What happens to ALKENES when mixed with bromine solution? | Immediately decolourises |
Which hydrocarbons are SATURATED? | Alkanes and Cycloalkanes |
What is an isomer? | Two or more compounds with the same formula but a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule and different properties |
What is an ADDITION REACTION? | A reaction when one molecule combines with another to form a larger molecule with no products. |
Name two uses of alcohols? | Fuel and solvent |
What functioning group do alcohols contain? | Hydroxyl functioning group |
What happens to the melting and boiling points when alcohols increase in size? | As alcohols increase in size their melting and boiling points increase due to the increasing strength of the inter molecular forces |
What are two uses of carboxylic acids? | Soaps and preservatives |

If a gas produced is not soluble, how can it be collected? | Collect over water |
Number of protons? | Same as the atomic number |
Number of neutrons? | Mass number - number of protons |
Number of electrons? | Equal to the number of protons |
Mass number? | Number of protons + number of neutrons |
What is an ISOTOPE? | Atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers |
How do you calculate the Relative Atomic Mass? | (mass of isotope 1 x%) + (massof isotope 2 x%) -------------------------------------------------------- 100 |
What happens to non-metal atoms regarding ions? | Gain electrons and have negative ions |
What happens to metal atoms regarding ions? | Loose electrons and have positive ions |
Which solids conduct electricty? | Metals and carbon in the form of graphite |
Which liquids conduct electricty? | Ionic and metals |
When do ionic compounds conduct electricity? | When liquid or in a solution |
Why do ionic compunds conduct electricity in liquid or solution? | Their ions are free to move |
What is electricity? | The flow of electrons |
What happens to metal atoms when conducted? | The outer electrons become delocalised and are free to move |
Why do covalent networks have high mp and bp? | The covalent bonds between the atoms must be broken which uses a lot of energy |
Why do cavalent molecules have low mp and bp? | Only the intermolecular forces need to be broken which does not use a lot of energy |
What shape is this? | Linear |
What are spectator ions? | Ions that have not changed during a reaction |
What is a ion? | Charged atom that form when a atom either looses or gains electrons |
What is an ion? | Electrically charged particles that form when a atom looses or gains electrons |
What is a covalent bond? | The attraction of 2 positive nuclei have for a shared pair of electrons |
What is a ionic bond? | The electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions |
What is a metallic bond? | The attraction between positive ions and delocalised electrons |
