Bonding Flashcards
Define what is meant by ionic bonding
is when an electrostatic force of attraction between two oppositely charged ions formed by
Define what is meant by covalent bonding
it is when two atoms share electrons
Define what is meant metallic bonding
is the electrostatic force of attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons
What factors affect metallic bonding
number of protons: more protons the stronger the bond
a number of delocalised electrons: more delocalised electrons the stronger the bond
size of the ion: the smaller the ion, the stronger the bond
What are the properties of ionic bonding
(in terms of boiling/melting point, solubility, conductivity when solid or liquid
boiling point is high: strong electrostatic forces of attraction between +ve ions and -ve ions
most are soluble: it depends on if there is a big enough attraction to water, and if the attraction more than the attraction between the ions themselves
ions cant move in lattice but can conduct electricity when aqueous or molten
-brittle if ions of the same charge are next to each other they will repel
What are the properties of covalent bonding
(in terms of boiling/melting point, solubility, conductivity when solid or liquid
molecular: low boiling point, generally good solubility, cannot conduct electricity,
macromolecular: high boiling points, insoluble and water, diamond and silicon have no free electrons but graphite can because it has them
What are the properties of metallic bonding
(in terms of boiling/melting point, solubility, conductivity when solid or liquid
boiling point is high. insoluble in water, can conduct electricity because it has delocalised electrons
other properties: shiny, malleable as the layers can slide over each other
State what is meant by electronegativity
the tendency of an atom in a covalent bond in a molecule to attract electrons
