3.1.3 Bonding Flashcards
Ionic Bonding [definition]:
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a lattice
Covalent Bonding [definition]:
A shared pair of e⁻s with opposite spins
- one e⁻ donated by each atom
Sulphate formula:
SO₄²-
Hydroxide formula:
OH−
Nitrate formula:
NO₃⁻
Giant Ionic lattice [2]:
- Sodium Chloride
- Magnesium oxide
Covalent simple molecular structures [5]:
- Iodine
- Ice
- Carbon dioxide
- Water
- Methane
Giant Covalent structures [4]:
- Diamond
- Graphite
- Silicon dioxide
- Silicon
Ionic boiling and melting points [2]:
- high- because of giant lattice of ions with strong
electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions - requires lot of energy to break
Ionic Solubility in water:
Generally good
Ionic compound conductivity (when solid):
[2]
- poor
- ions can’t move/ fixed in lattice
Ionic compound conductivity (when molten):
[2]
- Good
- Ions can move freely
Co-ordinate/ Dative Covalent bond [definition]:
A bond that contains a shared pair of electrons with both electrons supplied by one atom.
Simple Covalent compound boiling and melting points:
low- because of weak intermolecular forces between molecules (specify type e.g van der
waals/hydrogen bond)
Simple covalent compound solubility in water:
Generally poor
Simple covalent compound conductivity (when solid):
[2]
- poor
- no ions to conduct and electrons are
localised (fixed in place)
Simple covalent compound conductivity (when molten):
[2]:
- Poor
- No ions
Giant Covalent compound boiling and melting points:
High- because of many strong covalent
bonds in macromolecular structure (requires a lot of energy to break many strong bonds)
Giant covalent compound solubility in water:
Insoluble
Giant covalent compound conductivity (when solid):
[2]:
- diamond and sand = poor because electrons are localised and can’t move
- graphite = good, has free delocalised electrons between layers to conduct
Giant covalent compound conductivity (when molten):
Poor
Metallic bonding boiling and melting points:
high- strong electrostatic forces between positive ions and sea of delocalised electrons
Metallic bonding solubility in water:
Insoluble
Metallic bonding conductivity (when solid):
[2]:
- good
- delocalised electrons can move through structure
