1.3 Bonding Flashcards
Metallic bonding
The attraction between delocalised outer shell electrons and positive metal ions in a lattice
How are the metal ions arranged
Packed close together in layers in a regular way
What are the metal ions surrounded by
Mobile electrons
What do mobile electrons do
Move freely within structure
What does delocalised mean
Displaced from where it’s expected to be
What does giant mean
A huge structure- consisting of millions and millions of atoms
What does the number of delocalised electrons depend on
How many electrons are lost from each metal atom
What is ionic bonding
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a lattice
Where does ionic bonding occur
Between metals and non metals
What happens in ionic bonding
Electrons are transferred from a metal to a non metal
What is formed as a result of ionic bonding
Positive and negative ions
What do metal atoms do
Lose electrons and become positively charged
What do non metals do
Gain electrons and become negatively charged
What is the charge on a simple ion related to
It’s position in the periodic table
What ion is formed from group 1 elements
+1
What ion is formed from group 2 elements
+2
What ion is formed from group 3 elements
+3
What ion is formed from group 5 elements
-3
What ion is formed from group 6 elements
-2
What ion is formed from group 7 elements
-1
What does boron not do
Form ions (covalently bonds)
Do carbon and silicon usually form ions?
No
What can transition elements do
Form more than one stable ion
What are compound ions
Covalently bonded species carrying a charge
Eg. Hydroxide and carbonate
Covalent bond
Shared pair of electrons
Where does covalent bonding occur
Between atoms of non- metals
