2.2.2 Bonding & Structure Flashcards
What are the 3 types of bonding
Metallic
Ionic
Covalent
What materials does metallic bonding give rise to
Ones with a giant metallic structure
What compounds does ionic bonding give rise to
Giant ionic lattice
What 2 structures does covalent bonding give rise to
Simple covalent (molecular) structures
Giant covalent (macromolecular) structures
E.g of giant metallic structures
All metals on periodic table
Mg, Na, Zn
What’s giant ionic structure made from
E.gs
Metal + non metal
E.g NaCl, MgO
What’s simple covalent structure made from
E.g
Non metal + non metal
E.g H2O, CO2
What’s giant covalent (macromolecular) structure made from
E.g
Non metal + non metal
C- graphite, C-diamond, SiO2 (sand)
What type of melting + boiling points do simple covalent (molecular) structures have
Why
Low
As they have weak IMFs
What are electrons like in a metal element
They’re delocalised (outer electrons merge + aren’t associated with any one atom no more)
What does metallic bonding involve
A lattice of positive ions surrounded by a ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons e.g Mg
How do positive metal ions act towards the sea of delocalised electrons
They are attracted to the delocalised electrons by electrostatic attraction
Why is metallic bonding very strong and hard to break
As there are no individual bonds to break
Why are metals malleable
As the layers can slide over each other
What must particles be like to conduct electricity (2)
Carry charge
Move freely
