I used this document in my GCSE revision and it helped me to achieve a Grade 8 in my final chemistry GCSE exam (edexcel igcse board). These notes are made based on the CGP GCSE guide.
draw a line near the bottom of the filter paper in pencil
place the dyes on the paper
place the paper in a beaker of solvent (water) below the start line
*
place a lid on top of the container to stop the solvent evaporating
the solvent seeps up the paper carrying the soluable dyes with it
when the solvent has nearly dried ,
take it out and let it dry
once dry ,
mark the solvent front
calculating Re values
distance for solute : measure from the
baseline to the middle of the spot
Rf =
distance traveled by solute
distance traveled by solvent
distance for solvent : measure from the
baseline to the solvent front

Ionic
Compounds
When
·
a metal and non-metal react ,
the metal atom loses an electron to form a
positive ion (cation) and the non-metal atom gains an electron to form a
negative
ion lanion) -
for group 1 and 7
the oppositely charged) ions strongly attracted by electrostatic
·
are forces of
attraction
- an ionic bond
lonic compounds -
Lattice structure
compounds with Ionic bonding ALWAYS have a giant ionic structure
they are closely packed together in a 3D lattice arrangement by the
attraction between oppositely charged ions
-
ionic compounds have : they are unable to conduct electricity when solid,
high melting points However
, they can if they are molten or
aqueous
as their ions are free move and charge
·
high boiling points to
carry
covalent Bonding
covalent bonding occurs between two non-metals and is when atoms share pairs of electron
4 each covalent bond provides one extra shared electron for each atom
-
there is a strong electrostatic attraction between the negatively charged electrons and the
positive nuclei of the atoms involved
simple molecular substances
-
atoms within a molecule are held together by strong covalent bonds
-
the forces of attraction between these molecules ,
however , are very weak
↳) the melting and boiling points are very low as the molecules are separated easily
the melting and boiling points of simple molecular substances increase as the Mr increases
-
-
most molecular substances are gases or liquids at rep /or an easily mented solid)
Giant covalent substances
all atoms are bonded together by lots of strong covalent bonds which take a lot of energy
-
-
giant covalent structures are solids with very high meeting and boiling points
-
they do Not conduct electricity -
even when molten (except graphite
-usually insolvable in water
