How to work out the formula of an ionic compound.
Swap and drop meth
Blurt everything you know about ionic compounds
- When negatively and positively charged ions bond (ionic bonding).
- Most ionic compounds dissolve in water as they are polar and can attract + or - ions and break up the structure.
- Conducts electricity when in molten or dissolved in solution as ions are free to move around
- High melting points
as there are strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions. So lots of energy required to break these forces.
Blurt everything you know about covalent bonds give an example like ammonium.
- Sharing of outer electrons in order to obtain a full shell.
- Dative cov - One atom donates 2 electrons.
Draw the ionic bonding between Cl and Na,
Na and O
Mg and Cl
Al and F
(you may need more than one of an element for the ionic bonds). - easy
What and how becomes : polar molecule, and blurt everything you know about polar molecules, give examples
- A big difference in electronegativity, makes the bond more polar.
- As the charges don’t cancel out it is non-symmetrical
What happens when there’s a big difference in electronegativity
- The compound will become more ionic.
How does a dipole-dipole get induced.
- An induced dipole to dipole force occurs when a molecule is near another molecule. e.g bromine near ethene. in electrophilic addition. The ethene attracts on bromine and the electrons on the cov bond moves towards the second bromine.
Draw the bonding in O2 and N2
Hard : CO3 figure out the bonding and name the charge and OH?
The left-hand and bottom Oxygen atoms donate one dot each to form a single bond with the Carbon.
This leaves these two Oxygen atoms short of an electron each - this lack is made right by gaining two extra electrons (empty dots) and this is why it is CO32- rather than just CO3.
