bonding Flashcards
ionic bonding def
the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions
when is ionic bonding stronger and the mp higher
when the ions are smaller and have higher charges
when is ionic bonding stronger and the mp higher
when the ions are smaller and have higher charges
why are positive ions smaller
it has one less shell of electrons;
ratio of protons to electrons has increased so there is a stronger attraction to hold the remaining electrons
why are negative ions bigger
negative ions have more electrons than the element, but the same number of protons;
the attraction from the nucleus is shared over more electrons, making it weaker and the ions bigger
trend in ionic radii down a group
size of ionic radii increases;
as you go down the ions have more shells
covalent bond
the electrostatic force of attraction between the nuclei and bonding pair of electrons
dative/coordinate covalent bond
when the shared pair of electrons come from only one of the bonding atoms
e.g. NH4+, H3O+
metallic bonding
the electrostatic force of attraction between rhetorical positive metal ions and the delocalised electrons
factors that affect the strength of metallic bonds
- number of protons/strength of nuclear charge (more positive=stronger bond)
- number of delocalised electrons (more delocalised electrons=stronger bond)
- size (smaller ion=stronger bond)
why does Mg have stronger metallic bonding than Na
the metallic bonding gets stronger because Mg has more electrons that become delocalised;
Mg ion is smaller and has one more proton so a higher nuclear charge;
stronger electrostatic force of attraction between the positive metal ions and the delocalised and more energy is needed to break bonds
structure of compounds w ionic bonds
giant ionic lattice
e.g. sodium chloride (NaCl), magnesium oxide (MgO)
structure of compounds w weak covalent bonds
simple molecular;
vdw, permanent dipoles, H bonds between molecules
e.g. iodine, CO2, H2O, CH4
structure of compounds w strong covalent bonds
macromolecular;
e.g. diamond, graphite, silicon dioxide, silicon
structure of compounds w metallic bonds
giant metallic lattice
e.g. magnesium, sodium, all metals
melting and boiling points of ionic compounds/lattices
high;
because of giant lattice of ions with strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions
solubility in water of ionic compounds
generally good
conductivity of ionic compounds when solid
poor; ions can’t move / fixed in place
conductivity of ionic compounds when molten
good; ions can move
