Bonding Flashcards
what is an ionic bond ?
a bond between a metal and a non metal where an electrostatic force of attraction occurs between oppositely charged ions
state the charges on :
group 1
group2
group6
group7
+
2+
2-
-
what is a structure of an ionic bond ?
each ion attracts to opposiute charges - forms giant ionic lattice containing billions of ions (lattice structure)
what is formula for :
sulfate
hydroxide
nitrate
carbonate
ammonium
so42-
oh-
no3-
co32-
nh4+
ionic bonding properties :nacl
melting and boiling point
high MP &BP as a lot of energy is needed to overcome strong force of electrostatic force of attraction (the higher the charge of the ionic compound the higher the mp and bp - e.g mgo and nacl )
ionic bonding strength :nacl
when size of ions decrease , strength increases( . e.g fluoride ions are smaller than chloride ions so calcium fluoride has higher melting point then calcium chloride )
hard and brittle
ionic bonding solubility : nacl
they are soluble - but ionic lattice must be broken and water molecules attract and surround ions
as ionic charge increases - solubility decreases
ionic bonding electricity nacl
can conduct electricity when molten or in aqueous solution as ions are free to move and conduct electricity . in solid ions cannot move = not conduct electricity
when can ionic compounds split ?
if pressure / forces cause ions to one closer to each other , some charged ions may repel causing it to split .
what is a covalent bond ?
electrostatic force of attraction between a shared pair of electrons and nuclei of bonded atoms - when atoms are combined by covalent bionds they form molecules
what is the difference between multiple and single covalent bonds ?
single = shaired pair of electrons
multiple bonds = multiple pairs of electrons
what is a coordinate covalent bond
it is a covalent bond which includes a shaired pair of electrons from 1 atom
simple molecular properties iodine MP & BP
low as there are weak forces of attraction
simple molecular properties iodine electrical conductivity
doesn’t as no charged particles free to move
simple molecular properties iodine strength - brittle
weak intermolecular forces
