C2 Flashcards
What are the types of chemical bonds?
Ionic covalent and metallic
What is ionic bonding?
Electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
What is covalent bonding?
Electrostatic forces of attraction between the nuclei of atoms and the shared pair of electrons
What is metallic bonding?
The electrostatic forces of attraction between cations and the sea of delocalised electrons
When does metallic bonding occur?
Metallic bonding occurs in metallic elements and alloys
When does ionic bonding occur?
Ionic bonding occurs in compounds formed from metals combined with nonmetals
When does covalent bonding occur ?
Covalent bonding occurs in most non metallic elements and in compounds of non metals
What happens in ionic bonding?
The electrons in the outer shell of the metal atom are transferred to make a full outer shell
What happens to metals when they lose an electron?
They become positively charged ions
What happens when nonmetals gain electrons?
They become a
Negatively charged ions
What do the ions produced by metals in groups 1 and 2 and by non metals in group 6 and 7 have the electronic structure of?
Noble gases
What a dot and cross diagram be used represented?
The electron transfer during the formation of an ionic compound
What do the charge on the ions produced by groups 1 2 6 7 realate to?
The group number of the element in the periodic table
What is an ionic compound?
A giant structure of ions
What are ionic compounds held together by.
Strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
What happens when atoms share pairs of electrons?
They form covalent bonds these bonds between atoms are strong
What do covalently bonded substances consist of?
Small molecules
What do some covalent bonds have?
Large molecules such as polymers
What structure do some covalently bonded substances have?
Giant covalent structures
What do metals consist of ?
Giant structures of atoms arranged in a regular pattern
What are the electrons in the outer shell of metal atoms?
Delocalised and so are free to move through the whole structure
What do the sharing of delocalised electrons give ?
Rise to strong metallic bonding
What are the states of matter?
Solid liquid gas
