bonding Flashcards
what is structure of ions
A regular lattice of alternating positive and negative ions
lattice held by electrostatic forces
Crystal structure
properties of lattice and why (5)
very high melting point due to strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions therefore requires a lot of energyy to break
Generally soluble in H2O- as water is very polar so it can disrupt the electroctatic attractions between the ions and break them up
insulator when solid- ions are fixed in position so cannot carry a charge
Electrical conductors when molten/ dissolved- as ions are free to move so able to carry a charge
Brittle - when moved. Ions no longer have an alternating arrangement which means they repel each other and the lattice breaks
what is a covalent bond
shared pair of elctrons with opposite spins, and one electron is donated by each atom
(multiple eg double bond when 2 pairs of e- shared etc)
what does a covalent bind form between
forms between elements that have high electronegativty values (non-metals)
what forces are involved in a covalent bond
highly negative/ high e- density where elctrons shared
And the very strong attraction between the electrons and positive nuclei
types of covalent structures
molecular:
simple covalent i.e CH4, H2O
macromolecular:
giant covalent i.e. diamond and graphite
what is a coordinate bond (dative)
a covalent bond formed when both electrons are donated by the same atom
once formed, acts in the same way as a covalent bond
how is ice formed
H2O is a covalent bonded molecule therefore hydrogen bonding exists between molecules
between 0ºC - 100ºC, bonds hold molecules close to each other but allow free movement
Below 0ºC, molecules have less energy so hydrogen bonding fix molecules in position
what structure does ice have
Ice has 3d hexagonal crystal structure
how are properties of ice affected by structure (2)
ice floats: spaces creates b/c of 3D hexagonal crystal structure
spaces created between spaces
spaces are caused to expand and become less dense
relatively high mp: strong hydrogen bonding between the molecules
what is bonds between iodine
is a covalently bonded molecule (covalent bond is very strong)
weak induced dipole/ van der waal’s forces between molecules which gives crystal structure
iodine properties (5)
shiny grey at room temperature
Low melting point- weak vane dear wall’s forces are very easily broken but I2 molecules stay intact
Sublime(s=>g) when heated the grey solid turns into purple gas
Slightly soluble in H2O- b/c I2 is non-polar
Only in potassium iodide solution and iodide ions allows it to dissolve
structure of diamond
Each C atom form 4 single covalent bonds with 4 other C atoms
Tetrahedral arrangement (109.5)
Forms a 3d lattice of solid carbon
properties of diamond
Very hard: Due to the structure of double carbon covalent bonds
Very high melting point: Due to strong double carbon bonds, require a a lot of energy to break
Electrical insulation: All electrons involved on bonding/ no delocalised e-
Insoluble: Due to strong double carbon bonds
structure of graphite
Each carbon forms 3 single covalent nods with 3 other carbons
4th is delocalised
Trigonometry planar shape (120)
Forms a 2d hexagonal structure with delocalise delctrons
Weak van dear ewaals forces between the layers
properties of graphite
soft: due to weak van dear wall’s forces therefore layers can slide over each other
Very high melting point- strong double carbon covalent blonds therefore requires a lot of energy to break
Electrical conductor- delocalised elctrons are able to carry a current
Insoluble due to strong strong double cc bonds
what is a metallic bond
occurs between pure metals and alloys
A regular lattice of cations surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons
Has non-directional electrostatic attractions between these
forms a metallic crystal structure
properties of metallic crystal structure
High melting points: due to strong electrotatics attractions
Conducts electricty: delocalised delctrons free to carry a charge
Conducts heat: delocalised elcetrons quickly transfer energy
Malleable/ductile: delocalised elctrons able to move with the ions when moved so don’t remove non-directional electrostatic attractions hence able to change shape.
what are trends in mp in metallic crystal structure
variations:
increases across a period due to increasing charge on ions
Decreases down a group due to increased shielding
what is VESPR
Valence shell electron pair repulsion
Used to determine the shapes of covalent molecules with 3 or more atoms
Molecules can contain both:
bonding pairs (covalent, coordinate, double, triple) and Lone pairs (unbounded electron pairs on the central atom)
repulsion: electron pairs repel each other and settle in a position to minimise repulsion i.e maximisawe bond angle
list of most repulsive to least
lone pair-lone pair
lone pair- bonding pair
