Bonding 2.2.2 Flashcards
What is Ionic Bonding?
Bonding where a metal bonds with a non-metal.
The Metal atom donates one or more electrons to the non-metal
What are Properties of Ionic Bonds?
High Melting points (strong electro-static forces)
High Boiling points (strong electro-static forces)
Conductive as liquids or aqueous (mobile ions)
Soluble in polar solutions (ions attracted to polarity of molecules)
What is Covelant Bonding?
Bonding between a two non-metals
The electrons are “shared” to achive a full outer shell
What is “expanding the octet”?
When an element can accept over 8 electrons in their outer-shell when convelant bonding.
This is achived through filling the d sub-shell with the new electrons
Which elements can “expand their octet”?
P, As
S,Se,Te
Cl,Br,I,At
What is “reducing the octet”?
When an atom can gain stability with less than 8 electrons in its outer-shell
What elements can “reduce their octet”?
B,Be,Al
What is a Lone Pair?
Pairs of electrons in the outer-shell which are not used in bonding
What can a Lone Pair cause?
Diative bonding
What are Properties of Simple Covelant Structures?
Low Boiling point (Weak forces between molecules)
Low Melting point (Weak forces between molecules)
Non-conductive (no delocalised electrons)
What are Properties of Giant Covelant Structures?
HighBoiling point (Strong forces between molecules) High Melting point (Strong forces between molecules) Non-conductive (no delocalised electrons)
What is Metallic Bonding?
Bonding between two metals
Caused by attraction between electrons and nucleus
What are Properties of Metallic Bonding?
Malleable (atoms easily slide without breaking bonds)
Conductive (sea of delocalised electrons)
High Melting point (Strong electro-static forces)
High Boiling point (Strong electro-static forces)
What type of molecule has 2 Bonding Pairs and 0 Lone Pairs? And what is its bond angle?
Linear
180°
What type of molecule has 3 Bonding Pairs and 0 Lone Pairs? And what is its bond angle?
Trigonal Planar
120°
