1.3-1.6 Flashcards
what is the definition of the octet rule
when forming a compound an atom tends to gain, lose or share electrons in its outer shell to achieve eight in its outershell
what is the definition of Ionic bonding
the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions formed by electron transfer
what is the structure of ionic bonding
giant ionic lattice
we say that ionic bonds are what
non-directional
what is the definition of metallic bonding
metallic bonding is the attraction between positive ions and delocalised electrons in a lattice
what is the definition of delocalised electrons
delocalised electrons are outer shell electrons that do not have fixed positions but move freely
what is the structure of metallic bonding
giant metallic lattice
covalent bonding definition
A covalent bond is the electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms
lone pair definition
A lone pair is a pair of unshared electrons in the outer shell of an atom
coordinate covalent definition
A coordinate covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons between two atoms with both electrons shared by one of the two atoms.
2 compounds that have giant covalent lattices
Diamond and graphite
Diamond bonding description
each carbon atom is covalently bonded to 4 others in a tetrahedral arrangement
Graphite bonding description
each carbon is covalently bonded to 3 others forming layers arranged in hexagons. Between separate layers there are weak v.d.w. Each carbon therefore has 1 electron not involved in bonding which are free to move and carry charge.
