1. What is an electric current ? answer A flow of electrons mmcl2003
2. What is an electrical CONDUCTOR ? answer A substance that allows electricity to pass through it mmcl2003
3. What is an electrical INSULATOR ? answer A substance that does NOT allow electricity to pass through it mmcl2003
4. What types of substances conduct electricity ? answer Metals Graphite (a form of carbon) Molten ionic compounds Solutions of ionic compunds mmcl2003
5. What types of substances do NOT conduct electricity ? answer Non - metals Solid ionic compounds Covalent compounds mmcl2003
6. What are electrolytes ? answer Ionic compounds that conduct electricity (The compound decomposes) mmcl2003
7. Describe how electrolytes conduct electricity? answer The movement of ions to electrodes mmcl2003
8. What type of particle flows through electrolytes during conduction? answer Ions mmcl2003
9. What type of particle flows through metals during conduction? answer Electrons mmcl2003
10. How do metals conduct electricity ? answer Electrons flow through the metal. The metal does NOT change chemically mmcl2003
11. Why do ionic solids NOT conduct electricity ? answer The ions are not free to move mmcl2003
12. What happens to the POSITIVE ions when an electrolyte conducts? answer The positive ions are attracted to the negative electrode. Here they GAIN electrons. This changes them into ATOMS. eg Cu2+ + 2e Cu mmcl2003
13. What happens to the NEGATIVE ions when an electrolyte conducts? answer The negative ions are attracted to the positve electrode. Here they LOSE electrons. This changes them into ATOMS which can join to form molecules. eg 2Cl- Cl2+ 2e mmcl2003
14. Describe the structure of an IONIC solid answer An ionic solid consists of a network or LATTICE of oppositely charged ions mmcl2003
15. Describe the electron arrangement of ions? answer The electron arrangement of a Noble gas atom. This electron arrangement is stable mmcl2003
Why do molten ionic compounds conduct but ionic solids do not ? answer The ions in the MOLTEN substance are FREE TO MOVE. The ions cannot move in a solid. mmcl2003
17. Do ionic solids dissolve in water? answer YES .Most Ionic solids DISSOLVE in water. The lattice breaks up and the ions spread out. mmcl2003
18. Which covalent compounds conduct electricity? answer NONE! mmcl2003
19. What are the typical STATES of ionic and covalent compounds? answer All Ionic compounds are SOLIDS. Covalent compounds can be liquids, gases or solids with low melting points mmcl2003
20. What are the products of the electrolysis of copper chloride? answer COPPER metal at the negative electrode and CHLORINE gas at the positive electrode. mmcl2003
