Bonding Flashcards
2 main types of bonding in compounds
Ionic
Covalent
sulfate ion
SO4^2-
hydroxide ion
OH-
nitrate ion
NO3- (3 IS below)
carbonate ion
CO3 ^2-
ammonium ion
NH4^+
what struc does sodium chloride have
giant ionic lattice
Sodium azide has a high melting point.
Predict the type of bonding in a crystal of sodium azide.
Suggest why its melting point is high.
Ionic
Oppositely charged ions / Na+
and N3 ions
Strong attraction between (oppositely charged) ions / lots of energy needed to
overcome (strong) attractions (between ions) - mark scheme ans
3 features of ionic compounds
1) conduct electrivcity when molten or dissolved - free moving ions that can carry charge
2) ionic compound have high melting points - strong electrostatic attraction bet oppositely charged ions that take alot of energy to overcome
3)ionic compounds tend to dissolve in water - water mol are polar
charged parts pull ions away from lattice
what is covalent bonding
atoms have a shared pair of electrons
what struc has huge network of covalently bonded atoms
giant covalent stuc
macromolecular struc
What is a dative covalent bond?
2 electrons are donated from one atom to another / a lone pair of electrons rather than one from each
2 types of covalent structures
Simple molecular I simple covalent
Macro molecular/giant covalent structures
Examples of simple covalent
Co2 Ch4 Cl2
What is broken when boiling covalent structures
IMF’s not the strong covalent bonds
Examples of giant covalent struc
Diamond, graphite, silicon dioxide
Describe diamonds structure and its properties
Each carbon atoms makes 4 bonds sono free electrons to form used of delocalised electrons to carry charge or conduct electricity thus diamond cannot conduct.
Diamond is hard with a high melting point due to strong covalent bands that take a lot of energy to break
Diamond is insoluble in water
Describe graphite structure and its properties
Giant covalent structure
Can conduct electricity as each carbon atom makes 3 bonds so there is one free delocalised electron per carbon atom forming sea of delocalised elections that can more throughout structure and conduct electricity.
Graphite is soft BCD weak IMF’s I vow between layers d’atoms allowing them to slide over eachother
Has high melting point due to strong covalent bands within mol
Where are covalent bands and imfs found
Covalent - within
IMF’s found between
