Bonding

Question 1

What are the three types of bonding?

Answer 1

Ionic, covelant and metallic

Question 2

What is ionic bonding? (non-metal and metal bonding)

Answer 2

A strong, electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. Attraction between + and -

Question 3

What does the strength of an ionic bond depend on?

Answer 3

• the charge of the ion, the larger the charge, the stronger the bond
• the size of the ion, the smaller the ion, the stronger the bond

Question 4

What are the properties of ionic compounds?

Answer 4

• Exist as regular arrangements of ions in a giant ionic lattice
• Have high melting and boiling points
• Conduct electricity when molten or in solution as the ions are free to move

Question 5

What a covalent bonding? (between non-metals)

Answer 5

Strong electrostatic attraction between two nuclei and the shared pair of electrons between them

Question 6

What is coordinate bonding?

Answer 6

were both electrons in a covalent bond come from the same atom. Usually when an element with a lone pair of electrons.

Question 7

What are the properties of covalent compounds?

Answer 7

• Simple molecules have low melting and boiling temperatures so are usually gases or liquids
• Compounds consisting of giant molecular structures have high melting and boiling temperatures
• Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity

Question 8

What is metal bonding? (between metals)

Answer 8

Electrostatic attraction between a giant lattice of positively charged ions and delocalised electrons

Question 9

What are the properties of metals?

Answer 9

• The strong electrostatic forces of attraction results in metals having high melting and boiling points
• The delocalised electrons enable metals to conduct electricity in the solid state
