A

Non-metal atoms.

51
Q

What is covalent bonding?

A

Non metal atoms bonding by sharing electrons.

52
Q

What happens in covalent bonding?

A

The atoms overlap their outer energy level and share a pair of electrons

53
Q

What does: The masses of all the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of that atom result in?

A

The total mass of an atom.

54
Q

What is achieved by sharing a pair of electrons?

A

Both atoms achieve a full outer energy level (a stable electron arrangement)

55
Q

What holds the two atoms together in a covalent bond?

A

The mutual attraction of the postively charged nuclei for the negatively charged shared pair of electrons.

A

Relatively low (m.p range from: -200°C to 150°C)

68
Q

What is the low melting point of ice due to?

A

The weak intermolecular force of attraction being broken and not the very strong covalent bonds within the molecule.

69

A

A giant lattice of millions of non-metal atoms joined together by very strong covalent bonds.

70
Q

When these structures (covalent network) change state why is a lot of energy is required?
