1.3 Bonding Flashcards
Where does ionic bonding occur
non-metal and metal
Describe how ionic bonding works
Electrons transferred from the metal to the non metal, to achieve full outer shells
How is a giant ionic lattice formed through ionic bonding
electrons are transferred, creating charged particles called ions,
oppositely charged ions attract through electrostatic forces of attraction,
forming giant ionic lattices
Give an example of an ionic lattice
Sodium Chloride
State the formulas for:
1) Sulfate ion
2) Hydroxide ion
3) Nitrate ion
4) Carbonate ion
5) Ammonium Ion
- SO4(2-)g
- OH(-)
- NO3(-)
- CO3(2-)
- NH4(+)
Where does covalent bonding occur
Between non-metal and non-metal
How does covalent bonding occur
Electrons are shared betwen the two outer shells in order to achieve a full outer shell of electrons.
What is a dative/ coordinate covalent bond
When both of the electrons in the shared pair are supplied from a single atom
Give an example of a dative bond
NH4(+)
NH3 has a lone pair, forms a dative bond with H+
How does metallic bonding occur
Lattice of positively charged ions, surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons, forming strong electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged particles
How does charge on the positive ion affect the attractive force
Greater charge on positive ions, stronger attraction as more electrons are released into the sea
How does size affect attraction
Larger size, weaker attraction because of greater atomic radius
Name the four main types of
crystal structures
- Ionic
- metallic
- simple molecular
- macromolecular
Explain melting and boiling point in ionic crystal structures
- High Melting / Boiling point
- strong electrostatic forces of attraction
- holding the ionic lattice together
- require alot of energy to overcome
Explain electrical conductivity in ionic substances
- Can conduct in molten / solution
- ions are separated and no longer held in lattice
- free to move carry a flow of charge
- and therefore electrical current
Why are ionic substances brittle
(Hard but liable to break easily)
Layers of alternating charges distorted, like charges repel, breaking the lattice into fragments
Explain conductivity in metallic structures
- Good conductors
- sea of delocalised electrons
- carries charge flow
- allowing current to pass through
Why are metals malleable
- Layers of positive ions can slide over each other
- delocalised electrons prevent fragmentation
What is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature
Mercury
