Bonding Structure And Properties Of Matter R Flashcards
What are the three types of strong chemical bonds
Ionic bonds
Covalent bonds
Metallic bonds
What are atoms that have gained or lost electrons called
Ions
What do Ionic bonds occur between
Positive and negative ions
What type of outer shell do ions have and why?
Full,due to ions always having a charge due to losing or gaining electrons giving it the charge
Ionic binding involves a transfer of electrons from ____atoms to ______atoms
Metals
Non-metals
What type of force of attraction is an ionic bond
Electrostatic force of attraction
What are ionic compounds giant structures of
Ions
What are ionic compounds held together by
Strong ionic compounds
What are feature of ionic compounds
Have high melting and boiling points
Don’t conduct electricity when solid due to ions can’t move
Conduct electricity when dissolved or molten because charged ions are free to move about and carry their charge
Where does metallic binding occur
Metallic elements such as iron and copper
Alloys, such as stainless steel
What does delocalised electron mean?
Not bound to one atom
Why can metals conduct electricity surprisingly well for a solid
Die to many delocalised electrons which travel between each molecule to transfer the electricity
what is a lattice of positive ions held together by
electrostatic attraction
what type of bond is pulling together the positive ions and delocalised electrons
metallic bond
why are metals useful as structural materials
metallic bonds are very strong and metals have high melting and boiling points
what type of particle arrangements are in pure metals
a regular arrangement
why are pure metals easily bent
the layers slide over eachother quite easily
why is copper traditionally made to make water pipes
- it is an unreactive metal,so does not react with water
- it can be easily shaped
what are the uses for aluminum
high-voltage power,cables,furniture,drinks cans,foil food wrap
what are the properties of aluminium
corrosion resistant,ductile,malleable,good conductivity,low density
what are the uses for copper
electrical wiring,water pipes,sauce pans
what are the properties of copper
ductile,malleable,good conductivity
