Bonds, Structure & Properties of Matter Flashcards
3 types of bonding
Ionic, Covalent, Metallic
Ionic Bonding
- Non-metal + Metal
- Electrostatic forces attract the oppositely charged ions
Covalent Bonding
- Non-metal + Non-metal
- Atoms share pairs of electrons
- Strong bonds
Metallic Bonding
- Metal + Metal
- Positive metal ions + delocalised electrons produce electrostatic force
Ionic Compounds
- Giant structure
- Held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
- Eg. Sodium Chloride
Limitations of Dot and cross diagrams, 3D models for representing IONIC COMPOUNDS
- Does not show how the ions are arranged in space
- Only 2D
- Not to scale
- No information about forces of attraction of ions
Giant covalent structure examples
- Diamond
- Silicon Dioxide
3 states of amtter
Solid, Liquids and Gases
What takes place at melting point?
Melting and freezing
What takes place at boiling
Boiling and condensing
What determines the amount of energy required to change a substances state?
The strength of the forces between the particles of the substance
Type of bonding and structure of substance
The stronger the forces, the higher he melting point
What are the limitations of the simple particle model of matter?
- There are no forces between particles
Properties of ionic compounds
- High melting and boiling points (large forces of attraction between particles)
- When melted or dissolved in water, they can conduct electricity because ions are free to move so charge can flow
Properties of small molecules
- Low melting and boiling points
- Weak forces of attraction, (INTERMOLECULAR FORCES OVERCOME and NOT COVALENT BONDS)
- Cannot conduct electricity, because small molecules have no charge
What is a polymer?
Made of chains of monomers
Atoms in polymer molecules are linked to other atoms by strong covalent bonds
