Bonding Flashcards
Describe metallic bonding
Strong electrostatic forces between the metal ion and sea of delocalised electrons.
metallic
- giant metallic lattice
-strong electrostatic force of attraction between the positive metal ions and delocalised electrons
-
ionic
- giant ionic lattice
- strong electrostatic force of attractio n between the positive metal ion and negative non-metal ion
covalent
-simple molecular
-giant covalent
-
eg of giant covalent
- graphite
- fullerene
- silicon dioxide
- diamond
lattice
a large network
molecule
2 or more atoms covalently bonded
solid–> gas
More energy gained
intermolecular forces
They are between simple molecular structures
- overcome them when melting or boiling
electrostatic force of attraction
Always between something that is charged .
electrostatic force of attraction
- metallic bonding
- ionic bonding
- atom
- covalent bonding
covalent bonding
Electrostatic force of attraction between a shared pair of electrons between two or more non-metals.
conductivity
metals- can conduct electricity because they have delocalised electrons which are free to move and carry a charge
ionic- no in solids- no free ions
yes when aqueous and molten –> free ions to carry a charge
covalent- no, no free electrons or ions to carry a charge (except graphite and some fullerenes).
Why is diamond hard and high mp+bp ?
It is a giant covalent lattice. It has strong covalent bonds which require a lot of energy to break.
Diamond
shape- tetrahedral
uses: jewellery, drill tips
cannot conduct electricity because there are no free electrons
