C2- Bonding, Structure and Properties and Matter Flashcards
When are ions made?
When electrons are transferred
Can ions be made from a group of atoms?
Yes
How does ionic binding work?
When a metal and a nonmetal react together , the metal atom loses electrons to form a positively charged ion and the nonmetal gains these electrons to form a negatively charged ion. These oppositely charged ions are strongly attracted to one another by electrostatic forces. This attraction is called an ionic bond
What kind of structure do ionic compounds have?
Giant ionic lattice
Do ionic compounds all have similar properties?
Yes
Do ionic compounds have a low melting and boiling point?
High, due to many strong bonds
What is covalent bonding?
When nonmetal atoms bond together, they share pairs of electrons to make covalent bonds
What are the 6 examples of properties of simple molecular substances?
- Simple molecular structures
- Very strong covalent bonds
- Low melting and boiling points
- Gasses or liquids
- As molecules get bigger, the strength of intermolecular forces increases, si more energy is needed to break them, and the melting and boiling points increase
- Don’t conduct electricity
What are polymers?
Long chains of repeating units
What do lots of small units link to form?
A long molecule
What do all the atoms in a polymer joined by?
Covenant bonds
What is the formula for poly(ethene)
C2H4
Are the inter molecular forces between polymer molecules larger or smaller than between simple covenant molecules?
Larger
Is more energy required to break forces between polymer molecules or covenant molecules?
Polymer
What state are polymer at room temperature?
Solid
Are the polymer molecules weaker or stronger than inionic or giant molecular compounds?
Weaker
Are giant covalent structures macromolecules?
Yes
Do giant covalent structures very low or high melting point?
High
In diamond how many atoms form with one atom?
4
In graphite how many atoms form with one atom?
3
What type of structure is diamond?
Giant covalent
Does diamond conduct electricity?
No
Why doesn’t diamond conduct electricity?
No free electrons or ions
What is the substance formed by sheets of carbon?
Graphite
Are there covalent bonds between the layers in graphite?
No
Can graphite be used as a lubricant?
Yes
Is graphite’s melting point high or low?
High
