Bonding Flashcards
Properties of Ionic Bonding
3 points
High melting point
conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water
are brittle
What is metallic bonding’s structure
Lattice of positively charged surrounded by a sea of de localised electrons
What are Van De Waals Forces
weak electrostatic forces that attract neutral molecules to one another
What does the strength of van de waals forces depend on
The Mr of the molecules and its shape
What is hydrogen bonding
Strongest bonding of intermolecular forces only between hydrogen
What is electronegativity
Power of an atom to attract negative charge towards itself within a covelant bond
Electronegativity increases…
Along a period
Electronegativity decreases….
Down a group
Features of a dipole force
2 points
Polar molecules
Attracts other dipoles to form force
