bonding structure and properties of matter Flashcards
conductor
material which contains charged particles which are free to move to carry energy
covalent bond
shared pair of electrons between 2 non metals
diamond
giant covalent structure made up of carbon atoms
electrostatic forces
strong forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
fullerenes
molecules of carbon atoms with hollow shapes
graphenes
single layer of graphite useful in electronics and composites
graphite
giant covalent structure made of carbon
ionic bond
a metal atom losing an electron to form a positively charged ion and non metal gains electron to form a negatively charged ion
ionic bond is form between the oppositely charged ions
intermolecular forces
the forces between molecules
the strength impacts melting and boiling points
lattice
a repeating regular arrangement of atoms/ions/molecules
metallic bond
bonds present in metals between the positive metal ions and negatively charged electrons
metals
elements that react to form positive ions
molecular formula
actual ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound
non metals
elements that react to form negative ions
polymers
large long chain molecules made up of small monomers joined together by covalent bonds
