Bonding

Question 1

Three types of bonding:

Answer 1

Ionic, covalent or metallic

Question 2

Ionic bonding occurs in_____

Answer 2

Compounds formed from metals, combined with nonmetals

Question 3

Covalent bonding occurs_____

Answer 3

In the most nonmetallic elements, and in compounds of nonmetals

Question 4

Metallic bonding occurs in_______

Answer 4

Metallic elements and alloys

Question 5

How do I ions stay together in an ionic lattice

Answer 5

The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions

Question 6

Properties of ionic bonding

Answer 6

High melting points
Conducts when molten/dissolved in water - ions free to move
All are solids at room temperature

Question 7

Covalent bonding is the electrostatic attraction between

Answer 7

Positive nuclei and shared pair of electrons

Question 8

Covalent bonding is shown in

Answer 8

Dot and cross diagrams

Question 9

Metallic bonding is the electrostatic force of attraction between

Answer 9

Positive ions and the sea of delocalised electrons

Question 10

Properties of metallic compounds

Answer 10

Good conductors - electrons free to move
High, melting point

Question 11

Properties of covalent bonding

Answer 11

Low, melting point
Poor conductivity
The covalent bonds within the molecules are very strong
But the Intermolecular forces between the molecules are very weak
