3.1.3 Bonding Flashcards
Ionic bonding definition
he electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
Properties of ionically bonded compounds
Solid at room temp
Giant structures
High melting points - the energy must break the ionic bonds in the lattice
Conduct electricity when molten or dissolved un water as they are free to carry current
Brittle
Covalent bonding definition
Electrostatic forces of attraction between the shared electrons and the positive nuclei of the other atom
Ionic bonding affected by
AR
Nuclear charges
Co ordinate / dative bond
One atom provides both electrons in the covalent bond
Have exactly the same strength and length as ordinary covalent bonds between same pair of atoms
Metallic bonding definition
Outer main levels of the atom merge causing delocalisation
The electrostatic forces of attraction between the positive metal ions i and the sea of delocalised electrons
Properties of metals
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity
Good conductors of heat - as energy spread by increasingly vigorous vibrations of the closely packed ions
Strong
Malleable
Ductile - still in the exact same environment
High melting point
What is strength of metals determined by
Charge of the ion - the greater the charge of the ion the greater the number of delocalised electrons = stronger the electrostatic forces of attraction
Size of the ion - smaller the ion the closer the electrons are to the positive nucleus and the stronger the bond
The number of delocalised electrons - stronger the bond
Melting point of a metal affected by
Amount of delocalised electrons
The charge of the nucleus
ionic compounds structure - effected by
Effected by the size or charge of the ion
Types of lattice formed - depends on the size fo the pos and neg ions which are arranged in alternate fashion
