Bonding and structure Flashcards
Ionic bonding
Electrostatic attraction between productive and negative ions
Covalent bond
Strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms

Density of ice compared to water
Ice is less dense compared to water due to hexagonal structure
solid structure giant ions lattice from
oppositely charged ions strongly attracted in all directions
surface tension of water
The water molecules attract one another due to the the hydrogen ends, which are positive in comparison to the negative ends of the oxygen cause water to “stick” together. This is why there is surface tension and takes a certain amount of energy to break these intermolecular bonds

covalent between atoms
van der Waals’ between molecules
electronegativity
ability of an element to attract bonding electrons in a covalent bond
