bonding Flashcards
define ionic bonding
-electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in an ionic lattice
what is the formula of sulfate
SO4 2-
formula of hydroxide
OH-
formula for nitrate
NO3 -
formula for carbonate
CO3 2-
formula for ammonium
NH4 +
describe the physical properties of ionic bonding
- High MP : strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions that hold the ionic lattice together
lots of energy required to break the bonds
-dissolve in water (soluble) : water is polar so they can attract the positive and negative ions and break up the structure
-conduct in molten and in aqueous solution: the ions are free to move and so can carry charge
- cannot conduct in solid as the ions are not free to move as they are fixed in tight spaces in the giant ionic lattice
define covalent bonding
shared pair of electrons
define dative bonding/coordinate bonding
when the shared pair of electrons came in the covalent bond come from one atom.
what are the two types of covalent bonding
-giant covalent/macromolecular structure
-simple molecular structure
what molecules are examples of macromolecular structure
Diamond and Graphite
describe the property of Diamond
-giant lattice structure
-High Melting Point: carbon atoms is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms so strong rigid lattice
- Doesn’t conduct electricity : no free delocalised electrons to carry the current through the structure
describe the property of Graphite
-each carbon atom is covalently bonded to 3 other carbon atoms
-High Melting Point+ BP : strong covalent bonds
- Soft and Slippery: weak intermolecular forces ( Van Der Waals ) so can slide past each other .
-Good conductor of electricity: free delocalised electrons to carry current through the structure.
what molecules are example of simple molecular
-ammonia, iodine , water, methane
describe the properties of simple molecular
- held together by covalent bonds with weak intermolecular forces( Van der waals )
-Low MP and BP ; Van Der Waals forces are weak so not a lot of energy is required to overcome this bond - Poor conductors : structure contains no charge
