Bonding Flashcards
Why do chemical bonds form?
when atoms bond together they share or transfer electrons to achieve a more stable electron arrangement .
what always are involved when a bond forms?
electrons
which group in the periodic table is unreactive and have full outer main levels of electrons.
noble gas
three types of strong bonds
ionic, covalent and metallic
metals tend to ____ electrons
lose
non-metals tend to _____ electrons
gain
ionic bonding occurs between ________ and ________
metals and non-metals
how do the electrons ‘‘move’’ in an ionic bonding?
electrons are transferred from metal atoms to non-metal atoms.
what are formed in an ionic bonding?
positive ions and negative ions
can you draw a dot and cross diagram of sodium chloride?
1 mark for [….]
1 mark for charges
1 mark for getting the electrons configurations correct
what attracted two ions together?
electrostatic forces
what is the total overall charge of an ionic compound?
0
what are ionic crystals?
giant ionic lattices
can u draw a giant ionic lattice of sodium chloride?
…
do ionic compounds conduct electricity?
they do when are molten or dissolved but not when they are soild.
what melting point do ionic compounds have?
they have high melting points because they are held together by strong electroststic forces. it takes loads of energy to overcome these forces.
Do ionic compounds dissolved in water?
they tend to dissolve in water. water molecules are polar. the water molecules pull the ions away from the lattice and cause it to dissolved.
How are molecules fromed?
they are fromed when two or more atoms bond together- it doesnt matter if the atoms are the same or different.
What hold molecules together?
strong covalent bonds
what covalent bonds can be?
single, double and triple bonds
what can we use to represent covalent bonds
C一C
in covalent bonding, two atoms ______ electrons.
share
what do nuclei attracted to in a coalent bond
the shared electrons
can you draw a molecule which forms double bonds
CO2
can you draw a molecule which forms triple bonds
N2
do simple covalent cmpounds conduct electricity?
No, they don’t
simple covalent compounds have ____ melting point.
low
why do simple covalent compounds have low melting point?
because the weak IMF between the molecules are easily broken.
what is the other name for giant covalent strutures?
macromolecular structures
what is macromolecular structures
they have a huge network of covalently bnded atoms
what are the two types of macromolecular structures?
graphite and diamond
can you draw the structure of graphite?
…
can you describe the structure of graphite?
the carbon atoms in graphite are arranged in sheets of flat hexagons covalently bonded with three bonds each. the fourth outer electron of each carbon atom is delocalised. the sheets of hexagons are bonded together by weak WDV forces.
