Bonding Structure And Properties Of Matter Flashcards
Properties of ionic compounds
Giant ionic lattice
The ions form closely packed reular lattice arrangement and very strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions in all directions
Similar properties of all ionic compounds
High melting points and high boiling points due to many strong bonds
When solid they can’t conduct electricity
When ionic compounds melt ions are free to move it’ll carry electric charge
Some dissolve easily in water
Ions superstar and all free to move so solutions I’ll carry electric charge
Properties of simple molecular compounds
Atoms within molecules are held together by very strong coblavent bond however forces of attract between molecules are very weak
Meeting boiling points are low due to molecules being easily parted from each other
Gasses and liquids at room temp
Don’t conduct electricity due to no free ion or electrons
What is a polymer
A long chain of repeating units
Properties of polymers
Lots of small units lined together to form long molecules that has repeating sections joined by strong covalent bonds
Intermolecular forces are larger than simple covalent molecules so more energy is needed to break them
Have low boiling pound than ionic or giant molecular conpounds
Properties of giant covenants structure
Are macromolecules
High melting and boiling points
Don’t contain charged particles so don’t conduct electricity
What is aDiamond covealnt sturcute
Each carbon atoms forms four covalent bonds in a very rigid giant covalent structure
Properties of graphite
Each carbon atom forms three covalent bonds to create layers of hexagons
Each carbon atom has one delocalised electron m
Properties of silicon dioxide
Somtiems called sillica thsi is what sand is made from
Each grain is one giant covalent structure of silk icon and oxygen
Facts of diamond
Strong covealnt bonds very high melting point
Dosnt conduct electricity no free lecterns
Facts of graphite
Sheets of carbon atoms arranged in hexagons
No covantlent bonds between layers only held together weakly makes graphite soft and slippery
Got high melting point
Each carbon has 1 delocised electron making it able to conduct electricity
What metallic bonding involve
Delocalised electrons
Metals consist of a giant structure
Electrons in outter shell of metal atoms are delocalised electrons
Strong electrostatic attraction between positive metal atoms and shared negative electrons
These forces of attraction hold the atom together Ina regular strict and is called metallic bonding
Very strong
Why are metals good conductors or heat and electricity
Delocalised electrons carry electrical charge and thermal heat throughout whole structure
So they’re goo conductors if heart and electricity
Why are metals malleable
Layers of metals can slide over each other
Why are alloys hard
A mixture of two or more metals or metal and another element
Hard due to different sized atoms distorting the layers of metal atoms making it harder for them to slide over each other
