bonding Flashcards
non metals only (molecules)
covalent
metal and non metal(ions)
ionic
ionic substances have……… melting points
high
covalent substances have………..melting points
low
two exceptions that are solid covalent substances
carbon and silicon dioxide
do covalent substances ever conduct
no
do ionic substances ever conduct
when liquid or in a solution
do metallic substances ever conduct
in solid and liquid form yes, and they don’t dissolve
ionic bond defintion
the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
ionic lattices
have very strong ionic bonds, that take a lot of heat energy to break down
why do ionic compounds conduct in a liquid or solution
because the ions are free to move
do not conduct
high melting point solids
covalent network
do not conduct
low melting point/usually liquids or gases
strong covalent bonds between atoms but weak forces between molecules
discrete molecular
why do atoms bond
to complete outer shells
to become more stable
in ionic bonds the atoms………..electrons
transfer
