C2 Bonding, Structure And Porporties Of Matter

Question 1

What is an ionic compound?

Answer 1

A giant structure of ions, held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions. Forces act in all directions in the lattice.

Question 2

What are the 5 types of bonding diagrams?
Limitations of them all

Answer 2

3D-Doesn’t show the bonds
2D-doesn’t show which atom the electron belongs to
Ball and stick-Shows gaps which are not actually present, should be tightly packed
Space filling-Cannot see the bonds between atoms
Dot and cross-Doesn’t show shape of molecule
