bonding Flashcards
what does the perfect ionic model include
ions are perfectly spherical and the bonding is only ionic with no covalent character
what are ionic crystals
ginat lattices of ions when ions are arranged in a regular repeating pattern
what is the definition of ionic bonding
the bonding between a metal and non metal resulting in a strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a lattice
what are the properties of ionic compounds
high melting points- strong ele. static att. throguhout giant lattice of + and - ions
conduct electricity when molten or dissolved as ions are free to carry a charge
brittle as when ions are moved near a similar charge they allign and repel
soluble in polar solvents as the polarity can aften pull the ions apart and overcome the elec. attraction
what is the definition of covalent bonding
when 2 atoms nuclei share a pair or or more of valence electrons
what are the properties of giant covalent structures
high melting/ boiling point- multiple strong covalent bonds
rigid- strong covalent bonds
what are giant covalent structures and how can carbon form themm
crystal structures with a hige network of covalently bonded atoms which can be formed due to the fact carbon can make 4 covalent bonds
what is a dative covalent bond
one atom donated a pair of electrons to from a covalent bond with another atom or ion
what is the structure/properties of diamond like
-each c is bonded 4 times
-cannot conduct electricity as no charged particle
-high MP due to many strong covalent bonds
what is the structure/properties of silica like
- each Si is bonded to 4 stoms to from lots of covalent bonds
-high MP and BP due to sterong covalent bonds
-doesn’t conduct electricity due to no charged particles
what is the structure/properties of graphite
- each carbon forms 3 covalent bonds froming hexagobal rings of carbon atoms arranged in layers
soft and slippery due to layers
high MP due to strong covalent bonds
conducts electricity as the one electron in the outer shell gets released and is a delocalised electron that can caryy a charge
what is teh structure/ propoerties of graphine
single layer
extremely strong due to strong covalent bonds
has deloaclised electrons that can carry a charge
what is the definition of metallic bonding
strong electrostatic attraction between delocalsied electrons and layers of positive metal ions
what are the resulting properties of metallic bonding
malleable- layers of positive metals can slide over each other
high BP/MP- strong electrostatic attraction between delocalised electrons adn + metal ions
good conductors of electricity- delocalised electrons can carry charge freely throughout giant metallic structure
what is the bonding in simple molecular compounds and what is the intermolecular force
covalently bonded molecules
multiple molecules held together by weak van der Waals
