1.1 bonding, structure and properties Flashcards
difference between ionic and covalent bonding
ionic gain or lose electrons whereas covalent share electrons
what to remember when doing ionic bonding?
electron transfer
ionic charge
describe giant ionic structure
giant 3D lattice arangement of positiva and negative ions
giant ionic structure bonds
strong electrostatic attrations
giant ionic structure melting pt
high because of strong electrostatic attractions
giant ionic structure electrical conductor
only when molten or aqueous because ions are free to move in liquid
giant ionic structure example
soidum chloride
describe simple covalent structure
isolated molecules with weak van der waals attractions between molecules
simple covalent structure bonds
strong bonds within molecules
simple covalent structure melting pt
low because van der waals attractions make and break themselves
simple covalent structure electrical conductor
never because no moving ions
simple covalent structure example
iodine
describe giant covalent diamond
repeating 3D structure where each atoms is attatched to 4 others
giant covalent diamond bonds
super strong covalent bonds
giant covalent diamond melting pt
incredibly high because hard to break super strong bonds
giant covalent diamond electrical conductor
no because has no moving ions
giant covalent diamond example
diamond
describe giant covalent graphite
repeating 3D structure where each atom is joined to 3 others forming hexagons
giant covalent graphite bonds
super strong bonds, weak intermolecular van der waals attractions between layers
giant covalent graphite melting pt
high because super strong bonds
giant covalent graphite electrical conductor
excellent conductor
giant covalent graphite additional property
slippery as layers can move on top of each other
