C1.4 Keywords

C143
  1. (3) - C1:3
  2. Extended writing (3) - C1:3
    • explain why covalent substances do not conduct electricity.
  3. Melting point (2) - C1:2
    • The temperature at which a change of state occurs from a solid to a liquid.
  4. Graphite (2) - C1:2
    • each carbon atom is only covalently bonded to three other carbon atoms, rather than to four as in diamond. Graphite contains layers of carbon atoms. The layers slide over each other easily because there are only weak forces between them, making graphite slippery.
  5. Metallic bonding is the strong attraction between closely packed positive metal ions and a 'sea' of delocalised electrons. (1) - C1:1
  6. Giant Ionic (1) - C1:1
  7. Ionic compound (1) - C1:1
  8. This is why metals have high melting points and boiling points. (1) - C1:1
  9. Working with nanoparticles is called nanotechnology.nanometre, 1 nm, is one billionth of a metre (or a millionth of a millimetre) (1) - C1:1
  10. Nanoscience (1) - C1:1
  11. peptide bond (1) - C1:1
    • A bond created between two amino acids.

    • A molecule is an electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
  13. polypeptides (1) - C1:1
    • A polymer made of amino acids.
  14. polymerisation (1) - C1:1
    • A reaction between monomers to create polymers.
  15. monomer (1) - C1:1
    • A small unit component that can be used to make a polymer.
  16. Alloy (1) - C1:1
    • An alloy is a mixture of two elements, one of which is a metal. substance made of a metal bond
  17. Negative ion (1) - C1:1
    • An atom that has gained an electron.
  18. Positve ion (1) - C1:1
    • An atom that has lost an electron.
  19. Covalent (1) - C1:1
    • Bonding between two non metals.
  20. Covalent bonding (1) - C1:1
    • Bonding occurs between two non metals
  21. Ionic bonding (1) - C1:1
    • Bonding that occurs between a metal and a non metal.
  22. DNA (1) - C1:1
    • Deoxyribonucleic acid.

    • Diamond has a giant molecular structure. Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms.
  24. Delocalised (1) - C1:1
    • Electrons are free to move.
  25. GF (1) - C1:1
    • Explain why pure water does not conduct electricity but tap water does conduct electricity.
  26. Alkenes (1) - C1:1
    • Hydrocarbons that contain double bonds.
