5.2.2 How bonding and structure are related to the properties of substances

Name the three States of matter, identify them from a simple model and state which changes of state happen at melting and boiling points

Explain changes of state using particle theory and describe factors that affect the melting and boiling point of a substance

HT ONLY: Discuss the limitations of particle theory

Recall what (s), (l), (g) and (aq) mean when used in chemical equations and be able to use them appropriately

Explain how the structure of ionic compounds affects their properties, including melting and boiling points and conduction of electricity (sodium chloride structure only)

Explain how the structure of small molecules affects their properties

Explain how the structure of polymers affects their properties

Explain how the structure of giant covalent structures affects their properties

Explain how the structure of metals and alloys affects their properties, including explaining why they are good conductors

Explain why alloys are harder than pure metals in terms of the layers of atoms

Explain the properties of graphite, diamond and graphene in terms of their structure and bonding

Describe the structure of fullerenes, and their uses, including Buckminsterfullerene and carbon nanotubes
