C2-bonding,structure And Properties Of Matter Flashcards
What is ionic bonding
Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (metals and non metals) by the transfer of electrons
What happens in group down as you go down
It gets more reactive
Define an ion
A charger particle
What charge do metals have
What charge do non metals have
Positive because they are donating negative electrons
Negative because they Are receiving negative electrons
What does a giant ionic lattice consist of
Positive metal ions
Negative non metal ions
Regular repeating pattern of alternative ions
What is the chemical name for table salt
Sodium chloride (NaCl)
Salt can dissolve in solvents such as water. What does this tell us about salt
That it is a soluble solute meaning it can dissolve in a solvent creating a solution
Define electricity
Electricity is the flow of electrons
Can NaCl (s) conduct electricity?
No because all of the ions are bonded together and there are no free moving ions/electrons to carry the charge around the structure. Electricity is the flow of electrons.
What does aqueous mean?
Dissolved in a solvent
Can NaCl (l) (aq) conduct electricity?
Yes because water breaks the bonds between the ions (intermolecular forces) meaning they are free to move around the structure and carry charge. Electricity is the flow of electrons/ions
Describe the structure of sodium chlorides structure (ionic lattice)
Consists of positive metal ions and negative nonmetal ions that are held in place by electrostatic attraction. It has a regular repeating pattern of alternative ions. The electrons from sodium have been donated to chlorine. When reacted together. It is a giant ionic lattice structure.Na+ Cl-
Ionic bonds share or transfer electrons?
Covalent bonds share or transfer electrons?
Transfer
Share
Ionoic bonds exist between?
Covalent bonds exist between?
Metals and non metals
Non metals and non metals
When can ionic compounds conduct electricity
When dissolved or melted
(Aqueous or molten)
Why don’t covalent bonds conduct electricity
There are no free ions. No electrons move because they are all used up in bonding.
Intermolecular forces
Occuring amongst or between molecules.
Weak
Van der walls
Opposite of covalent bonding
Intramolecular forces
Bonds inside a molecule (covalent bond)
Strong (cannot be broken)
