Bonding Flashcards
What substances have ionic bonding
metals and non-metals (involves electron transfer)
What type of particle does ionic bonding contain
ions = giant lattice structure
How are particles bonded together in ionic bonding
strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
What are the typical properties (melting and boiling point) of ionic bonding
high melting/boiling point as it requires a large amount of energy to overcome the strong electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions
Electrical conductivity of ionic bonding
it conducts electricity when molten or aqueous as the ions are free to move and carry a charge
Solubility of ionic bonding in water
mostly soluble in water as it forms strong interactions with water molecules
What substances have metallic bonding
metals
What type of particle does metallic bonding contain
positive metal ion and delocalised electrons = giant lattice
How are particles bonded together in metallic bonding
strong electrostatic attraction between positive metal ion and sea of delocalised electrons
What are the typical properties (melting and boiling point) of metallic bonding
high melting/boiling point as it requires a large amount of energy to overcome the strong electrostatic attractions between positive metal ions and sea of delocalised electrons
Electrical conductivity of metallic bonding
conducts electricity as the electrons are free to move and carry a charge
Solubility of metallic bonding in water
insoluble in water as it doesn’t from strong interactions with water molecules
What substances have giant covalent bonding
non-metals
What type of particle does giant covalent bonding contain
many atoms covalently bonded - giant lattice
How are particles bonded together in giant covalent bonding
strong covalent bonds between atoms (shared pair of electrons)
