bonding and structure Flashcards
definition of ionic bonding?
the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
what structure do ionic compounds adopt when in a solid state?
a giant lattice structure
why do ions not conduct electricity when in solid state
as ions are not free to move
properties of ionic compounds
- high m.p and b.p
- soluble
- electrical conductors (l/aq)
why do ionic compounds have a high m.p and b.p and what alters it
as ionic bonds are strong - the greater the charge of the ion, the stronger the ionic bond, and therefore more energy required to break it - hence different ionic structures will have different melting/boiling points
why are ionic compounds soluble
the stronger the ionic bond, the less soluble the substance becomes
when are ionic compounds electrical conductors
when they are liquid or aqueous as ions are free to move
covalent bonding def.
the strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms
which electron doesn’t reach its full outer shell?
boron
dative covalent bonding def.
a covalent bond in which the shared pair of electrons have been supplied by one of the bonding atoms only
